Happiness

 Jonah, Ethan and Asher dressed up for Crazy Western Day Elizabeth, dressed up too!   Last week I was a Kindergarten Teacher for 3 days. I was worn out at the end! Some funny 5 year old sayings I heard over those 3 days: "Teacher, are cowboy Princesses real because she says they are and I say they aren't." Student with their head down: "Teacher, how long do we have to put our heads down and be quiet?" "Teacher, he kissed me on the arm." "Teacher, can you build a wall of wood right here (pointing to her desk) because he's bothering me!" A note passed to another student said  "i don lick you" The receiver loudly proclaims "I don't lick you? I don't lick you? What is this?" "Teacher, I need a nap!" (me too) Me: "Boys and Girls, put your heads down." A girl: "Oh, thank you, teacher! I needed a rest." "Teacher, how many books are we gonna read?"...

Let me briefly go over some of the crazy happenings that have happened to me very recently (as in today or yesterday): -Asher found his old pack n play and wanted me to set it up. I did and the boys promptly taught him how to crawl in and out of it-resulting in all three boys coming to wake me up from a very short nap during quiet time. Luckily Asher doesn't know how to crawl out of his crib yet! -After I was woken up from my nap, I went online. A few minutes later, Ethan came up to me with a gushing bloody finger and said Jonah bit him. I knew that wasn't the case, with so much blood, but I went and got a band-aid and some water. I went to talk to Jonah and Ethan told me the real story. They had taken a small glass treasure box that Elizabeth got from Church out of her room, had broken the glass and somehow Ethan got cut. I don't know all the real details. The boys probably aren't really sure either. -I signed up for a Costco membership today and proceeded to buy the b...

So last night I woke up at 2 am wide awake and I was mad! I did not want to be awake. I need to sleep! So, I got up out of bed and went downstairs. I remembered that I had laundry in the washer that needed to be dried. I pulled it all out and found my favorite coat- a baby blue down coat with hood that Josh bought me to help me stay warm- as flat as a pancake! I freaked out! I have washed this coat before, but I washed it in Utah and in Utah I had the three tennis balls it says to dry it with. I have no tennis balls here in Maryland. I pulled out the phone book and started reading. Eventually I found Wal-Mart, but they weren't open at 2 am. Finally, I decided to get in the car and drive to a nearby cvs (very nearby a 2 minute drive). As I got in the car I had a random idea to drive to a local hospital (Shady Grove) and see all the new babies there (am I baby hungry? hmm...). My GPS could not find the satellite signal because of the cloud cover, which is probably a good thing (I tol...
