The cutest little dog ever!

I've already fallen in love with her :)
Welcome to the family

Some call it chilldish, I call it having fun

I saw this on a t-shirt selling website. When I saw it I knew it was perfect for me and I just had to have it!

Through out my life I have been called "childish" because of how I act or do things. I was always told that I should grow up and act my age. Well I did listen to what I was told but I feel their should be a time and place where I can just go crazy and let my inner child out. Well luckily I work at a job where I'm not looked down upon when I act like a child

Everyday I get the chance to be kid. I dig for bugs, ride bikes, (well try to at least haha) slpash in puddles, color, make bubbles, paint, make stuff with play-doh, and play in the sensory bin. The kids either find it silly, or they will join. It's a perfect way to get the kids engaged in a certain activity. I will admit though, there have times when I'm having more fun then the kids and pretty soon I'm the only one playing at an activity. I just get carried away sometimes!

I'm happy to know that I have a boyfriend who supports my "childish acts" and in fact will join me in the fun sometimes. I really don't think I would make a very fun preschool teacher if I didn't have fun playing. But if you want to judge me fine, at least I know how to have fun!

Wordless Wednesday: Love is love, no matter what

Cheers!

I snapped this picture when we were at my grandmothers retirement party. And even though he is not smiling, this picture is perfect. It shows Tyrel's true personality and the reason why I love him. Who could not love a face like that? :)

Anyway the retirement party we did my for my Grandma went very well. I would like to type more, but I am exhausted. I didn't sleep well last night, and I have so much Vicodin pumped into my system I can hardly think straight. In the mean time enjoy some pictures from the party

Happy retirement Nana! Congratulations on 40 years of service

On the road again

I'm currently on my way to La Grande for the weekend. Off to celebrate my grandmother's retirement. It was kind of a last minute thing and didn't think I would even be able to go considering I just had my wisdom teeth out yesterday. Luckily I have an awesome boyfriend willing to drive me.

Aside from being really sore, my recovery has been going well. I was given pain pills to take through out the day. Tyrel made some delicious ice cream, that I've been eating like crazy. As well as jello and pudding. I was able to eat spaghettiOs. Everything else isn't soft often for to eat, requiring too much chewing. Everything seems to be going fine with my recovery.

I'm looking forward to spending some time with the family. But now it's time for a nap

Wordless Wednesday: One happy family!

Colorful bird nest

This week we are learning about birds and the craft we did yesterday was make bird nest: with noodles!
To do this craft you will need:

Spaghetti noodles
Paint
Glue
Bowl
Wax paper

The first thing you do is cook the noodles. Next you take a bowl and layer it with wax paper. (I didn't use wax paper and instead used to paper bowls for every child.) Pour out about a tablespoon of paint and a tablespoon of glue. Mix it together. You then take the noodles and mix it in with the paint and glue. Once it's all mixed in, leave it out to dry. As something extra I gave the kids their own plastic egg to put inside their bird nest.

Once it dries, take the nest out of the bowl and remove the nest from the wax paper, and that's it. Your child now has a fun bird nest of their own!

Again, mine look a little different because I just used paper bowls. Either way, the kids had lots of fun making them and it's super easy
