Are you a person that needs a plan? Someone who gets a little uneasy without a schedule, hates surprises?
I can absolutely appreciate this. I make arrangements, think about things ahead.

And love surprises.

I like to mesh these two qualities together by putting together a surprise.

So in three hours I’m walking into our elementary school. The nurse/administrative assistant will be sitting at her desk with her sickly sweet voice, perfect for all persons under 4 1/2 feet tall. Through the smells of glue and paper and dirty hands, I’ll pick up a festive looking pen that’s had leaves taped to the end of it, leaving it heavy and unbalanced on my fingers. I will sign my kid’s names much before the school bell is set to ring. They are not expecting me. They have no idea that Daddy is meeting us or that we’re playing hooky for the afternoon to raise chaos in our cute town.

There is candy to be had, activities to be completed, and schedules to ruin.

Happy Halloween, it’s time for me to plan an “unplanning”.
