A non vacation Blog!

WOW! Look at me I'm blogging and we're not on vacation! It's a miracle! But, then again, I don't generally blog when I'm not out and about becuase I don't have kids, so what to tell? Well, our cats are doing really, extra well since we got home. I think they missed us so they are on their best behavior. Piper's not whining, and Lucy is always rolling on the floor, looking for love. "Wookin for nub in aw da wrong pwaces."

I went back to work, and I have been with my kids ONE day. I had GLAD training Tues and Wed. Poor kiddos, oh well, it's for their good. We got a class pet Monday. Herbie, the blue Beta. He's kinda a grumpy guy, always frowning, even though I think he can't help it. But the kids LOVE him. "Ok boys and girls, today is Herbie's first day of school ever, and his first day in our room with the Dragons, (thats us, we're the Dragons), what should we tell him about us so that he feels more comfortable?" -me

First hand raised, "WE LOVE reading!"
"Oh yeah, good one!" -me
"WE LOVE SCHOOL!"-second child
"So true!" -me
"We are super smart"
"seriously!" -me
"we LOVE Mrs. Brockhaus"
"hmm, best one I've heard yet!" -me

So, as you can see, Herbie probably feels right at home, even though I thought I had killed him when I first transferred him into his bowl. Traumatizing I suppose.

Well Herbie, we're glad you're here! You have some friends in the class, Duncan the paper dragon hangs on our wall, our room 19 mascot, and Bananas, the monkey that hangs (with a staple) from the paper tree in our room.
