This is me! I have a new little sweet as pie girl in my class. She is just almost 3 and we are having the best time with her. She wore the cutest little bell bottom outfit the other day and I told Kate I had a pic of me in something similar. So this morning, I took this picture to school. Everyone thought it was precious, so I decided to share it with you!!
Viva la Wednesday- LOST is about to come on - so this will be short and sweet. It is also report time and I am working hard on trying to fit all of the wonderful things I have to share about the kids into one little page. My class is just AMAZING!! I am sure I will blog more about report time later.
I know LOTS of people with the dreadful stomach virus. ARRG!! Caleb and Parker both have it. I had to drive the puking Parker to his grandmother's yesterday. He was so pitiful. I kept saying- USE THE BUCKET!! Hopefully I will not catch this!! Caleb was a gnat's eyelash away from going to Children's for dehydration. He is on the up swing. I have had several kids out this week. Again- I hope to stay healthy on the tummy front since I have had the sinus/cough since December.
Kate might not get home in time for LOST. This is stressing me out!! She is on the phone with me right now! OK gotta go!!
Yesterday, I brought Parker home for the afternoon. Everyone knows how much I love hanging out with the little sweetie. Well, our afternoon started off with an HOUR of sitting in traffic to drive the 15 miles home. I needed to stop at the grocery store to get some chocolate chips, sausage and eggs for my dinner. While we were on the way home I mentioned to Parker that it would be a great day to work in the yard. He said he wanted to help me and we talked about how when we got to the store we would buy him a little bucket and shovel so he could help me work. The shovel turned into a shovel and a little rake like shovel. Then we went to get the bucket and Parker became smitten kitten over this wheelbarrow. It was very inexpensive so I said sure. He pushed it all over the store with all of the little items in it. I also let him get a little dirt mover truck toy and I had picked up a packet of elephant ear bulbs. When we got to the chocolate chips, he insisted that I put it in his wheelbarrow. Then my sausage too. I had to convince him to let me carry my own eggs though! His load was getting pretty big and then he wanted a box of John Deere Tractor gummies. I said "if it will fit in your wheelbarrow- I will buy it for you." Then on the way to the check out- he saw a must have box of Kraft macaroni and cheese. He put it in. Right before the checkout there was a display of Ritz crackers. Now the cracker box was almost as big as the wheelbarrow. I told Parker I didn't think it would fit in his wheelbarrow and then the kid (making his Montessori teacher very proud) sat in the floor- took everything out of the wheelbarrow and rearranged it to make everything fit. Thank goodness we were at the checkout before he spied anything else he needed!! Haha. I love it. I had a great afternoon with the little guy!! When we got home he could hardly wait to work in the yard. He was such hard little worker and we had to keep working until it was nearly too dark to work anymore. He left his wheelbarrow and shovels over here- so he could help me again. He is welcome anytime!! 
The only down side to the story is ... Someone forgot to take her allergy medicine before spending so much time in the yard- and that cough/sinus stuff is back!
This is Leah. 
Here I am. 
Now before you see our work- I must explain that I was on the opposite side of the table from Leah and Erika, therefore I was looking at the piggie upside down as I was drawing. We laughed and laughed when we realized that my piggie was backwards.
