Mother's Day

I think I have posted these before, but me and my sister Rachel are doing these super cute stick family pictures, we thought they would be great for Mother's Day if anyone is interested just let me know. You can check out more pictures at our crafting blog, here.

So whenever something funny happens or someone says something funny at work I always jot it down so I don't forget it...because kids are just the cutest things and I just love some of the things they say. I just love my job! So for the past month I've been going into one of the kindergarten classes to help for a half an hour, and I LOVE it! I love kindergarteners! I have been thinking lately I want to go back and get my teaching degree...I would love to be a kindergarten teacher. Anyways, there are 4 different stations the kids go to and I am in the writing station, so they were writing sentences that said "If I could go anywhere in the world, I would go to..." and they would fill it in, so we would discuss all of the cool places before they would right, Disneyland, Disneyworld, Lagoon, New York, Hawaii, Africa, China, Japan, Europe, to a beach...so this one little girl was having the hardest time picking where she would want to go, so I said "This is a really fun sentence, where have you ALWAYS dreamed of...you get to decide ANYWHERE you want to go!" And she sat there for a minute and said..."McDonalds." And thats what she wrote...good game plan, she won't be disappointed in life. :)

Another day that we were in stations, at the table next to me I hear one girl say, "My mom has gotten SOO fat!" So I stop what I'm doing at look right over there, and the teacher was just as surprised and said "What??" Both of us thinking her mom is pregnant or something, and the girl says, 'My mom has gotten SO fat! She REALLY needs to start working out."

There is a kid that seems to have a problem making it to the bathroom on time, so we get to see him in the office quite frequently. On this particular day his parents were gone and couldn't bring him any clothes, so we looked through what clothes we had at the school, and there was a pair of pants that was probably 3 sizes to big, so I went and got some of the orange twine, for our homemade belts, and tied it around him. He kept saying "I just don't want to be embarrassed, I just don't want my friends to notice what I did." I could tell he was really worried, and the huge pants didn't help so I said, "Ya know what, it's nobody's business, if they say anything just say that you fell in the mud or in a puddle and had to change pants." So he sits there for a minute and then says, "...ya, but that would be lying, and I don't want to tell lies." I guess I'm a great example for kids :)
