Channel Your Inner Six Year-Old

So now that school is back in session, I have to put myself in the mindset of a six year-old. As a first grade teacher, I must communicate and impart various academic and life skills to students who will use them for life. So here is my inner six year-old... well me as a six year-old anyway. Yes, my inner six year-old is wearing a visor from an Applebee-esque establishment as a headband and finding it wildly funny. It is this type of humor I must deal with on a daily basis. How do I cope? I laugh. Hard. Like today when we were constructing patterns with blocks, and then transferring them to paper by gluing the corresponding paper shapes. I asked a child with a completed block pattern to get the paper shapes from the table; "You will need four yellows and two reds." A minute later I return to said child's desk and see four yellow CRAYONS, and two red CRAYONS. My EA and I had quite a chuckle as you can imagine, however Six Year-Old did not see the humor. I think he was wondering how six crayons were going to help him glue shapes on his paper. So even when a six year-old isn't trying to be funny, my inner six year-old is thoroughly entertained.

Some Wedding Highlights...

Shawn's sister, Monica was married yesterday! The weather was perfect, the ceremony was beautiful, and the ring bearer was the cutest ever. Judge the photos for yourself. Enjoy the video of Chase dancing (he lip-synched too, during the couple's first dance) and then making a bee-line for the cake table. Just like his mother...:) Congrats, Scott and Monica!!!
