This is what you’ll need:
a costume:
a cute face to use it on:
delicious, fancy looking food, that 8 year olds will eat:
pretty place settings:
a classroom decorated like a boat (notice the portholes, the life preserver and the captain):
superb wait staff:
a maitre d’ that also sings “Danny Boy” for entertainment:
and
a hot chick to waltz with (I use the term “waltz” very loosely):
And maybe, if you do all of these things…you’ll get a thank you note that goes something like this:
Dear Mom. Thank you for coming and severing (sic). I did not think I would like it when you severed. (Well, who would?) But I liked it. And That’s the way Ah-Ah I like it. Love, Gabe.
(The third grade does this every year and it is incredible. The kids get so excited and really learn about the Titanic, etiquette, turn of the century history and dress, and their individual persona. I’m grateful my kids go to such a great school.)

That is seriously the coolest class party I've ever seen. I feel gypped. All we have is the second grade zoo where kids bring stuffed animals and put them in cages. We're moving there NOW.
My daughter's AP English class is having the dance of the decades next week. They were assigned people to research and write essays about from the 20's through the 50's. She got Doris Day which is type casting. They dress as their person, their report is the dance pass and then it is party time. They will learn dances from each decade. Fun stuff.
I'm glad your son enjoyed your severing technique. Did The Titanic sink during the party? Because I'm sure the kids would enjoy reenacting that part too.Plates crashing, screaming...
What a terrific idea -- The food looked great and hose decorations are fantastic...this is public school right? You are far and away the best severer I've ever seen!
I, for one, would like any of your severed refreshements.
that was so kind of you to severe. What an awesome party.
That is a fantastic school, indeed! I love the portholes on the windows and the decor.
Gabe is an amazing young man. I love how he wrote you, "That's the way Ah-Ah I like it." He is going to be an amazing blog writer one day.
Nothing wrong with severed food in my humble opinion.
I like it, ah-ah.
Especially the idea of teaching etiquette. My kids need lessons.
What a CUTE party...and you make a sexy "severer".
love it. so funny - and that Gabe is quite a looker isn't he... even if his mom does show up at his school to help out.
It's all because you used to "sever" back at Ruby River.
That is a seriously cool class party. I'm pretty sure our school isn't that cool.
No Way! That was awesome, I am jealous and I am 36 yrs. old.
I told the other Jessica that I totally want to move to your neighborhood! That looks like so much fun.
WAY cute. I love the fake portholes. And how Gabe said 'and that's the way ... I like it'. SO FUNNY. He must be a ham.
Can I ask a weird question? What is the definition of 'sic'? I mean, I've sort of grasped what it means, but it confuses me. And I've seen it thrown around lately. Am I stupid? Please explain.
But thank you note ever... what a cute kid and a huge compliment to mom! I am already looking forward to that party!
This really is the coolest party idea. Love it. Its making my "Under the Sea" kindergarten party I am planning for next week sound really lame.
Okay randomness. I just watched Will Ferrell on "Men vs. Wild." Am I the last person on the earth to notice that your husband looks like Bear Grylls?
Gabe,
I love your mustache and goatee!!
xoxoxo
Holy Moly, awesome party! I was just sure that you had planned the whole thing until you said it was a third grade tradition. but no one would have been surprised if it were your baby.
That Gabe is funny. and cute.
P.S. My run was fine. I'm still working up to the 5k. I know. Pathetic. Don't let me chicken out.
Plus, I'm doing a tri this summer. Ikes. Wish you were here to kick my rear into shape!
