Lanie's Easter egg balls

                    Now I have to be in charge of it so the "big kids don't get it."

End-of-the School Year

Some of the pictures that second graders drew with their writing for an end-of-the school year thank you book I received.

When I grew a child's brain while teaching.

Me helping choose a book for a student.

Me reading aloud to the class.

I'm making an anchor which actually pretty much looked like this.

Maybe we're posing? Not sure which one I am.

Reading aloud a book to a small group.

Sleeping Arrangements VI

Yet again, this is various days over a week. Because sleeping in a bed makes no sense.

Saturday Morning

As the kids finished up their breakfast and departed to go and play I started to make some coffee.  I heard a loud game beginning, some kind of (indoor) racing and capturing game that the dog was also a part of.
"This place is a MADHOUSE!" Sam yelled as he ran through the kitchen.
I went into the bathroom. The door opened about 30 seconds later. "I escaped from jail," Lanie whispered and left (with the door still open).
I poured the hot water onto my coffee as I heard Sam say, "good job not crying!" and Lanie reappeared and asked for a Band-aid, for her face.
"What did you bump into?" I asked.
"Da floor." Ah, yes. As we all do.
Now she has a Band-aid next to her eyebrow.  As I was getting the Band-aid Vivian came in, "I have another bloody nose!" she told me, blood dripping down her face.  Of course we're out of tissues. With school finishing up and all of the end of the year activities they're lucky they have clean underwear and food in the house.
As I was getting her nose cleaned up, with toilet paper and paper towels, Sam yelled, "Jack, NO! He's trying to climb out the window!"
It did appear that Jack was nosing the screen to get out and go see a dog that was walking by.

Next up the park before the floor gets injured.

Sam's Essay

 Chris went to the third grade work showcase, not me. Thankfully.

Hula Hooping

When you want to hula hoop, but it's a really hard skill and the hula hoop seems like it's going to stay up, but doesn't quite.

Long jump on Field Day

                       Sam's teacher sent me this photo of him doing the long jump at Field day.
