flocked






No, this is not a prank.  It's a fabulous fund raiser that one of my former students is participating in!   The idea is that you get "flocked" one night.  You wake up to find 20 or so flamingos in your yard.  You get some sweet sunglasses, candy, a plastic flamingo and a note explaining how to get rid of the treat in your yard!  You can donate any amount to have the flamingos removed in 24 hours.  The group will come back tonight to pick up the "birds" as Abby keeps calling them.  She has LOVED this and all afternoon we have been outside playing with the birds.  The funny thing is that some neighbors have come by and wanted to donate money too after they find out what it is.....maybe they just want to get rid of them??  Who knows.  I love it!!  Thanks for flocking me!

ha! Abby looks so cute in her glasses. You should ask if you can pay to KEEP the flamingos in your yard. I think it is quite a look. Your neighbors would love you for sure!

I remember getting flocked when we were growing up, but we didn't get cool sunglasses or candy! Those are so cute.

Abby is hilarious! Was she asking where all the birds went today!?

What is the cause?
