Desperate Much?

Unfortunately, there will be no pictures with this post... Yesterday, my computer started acting weird. When it was restarted, it acted even weirder. Immediately, I called my mom who is a computer tech and knows more about computers than anyone I know. She told me it sounded like I had a virus, to turn (and leave) it off, and bring it to her this weekend. What?? You mean to tell me that I'm going to be without a computer for 4 days?! I debated on whether or not to listen to her. But, she's my mama and I do what she says. I called my best friend here where I live, who is a teacher and doesn't use her computer during the day. "Suzanne, my computer has a virus, can I borrow yours?" Without question, she said yes- because that's just the kind of friend she is. Thanks, Suzy! Pretty pathetic, you say? I know, I know. But, I had this really cute post that I wanted to write today! (And, I promised my Sunday School teacher to fix her blog font. You can't break a promise to your Sunday School teacher!!) Good thing I don't have four boys to take care of and teach today... Oh, wait- I do!! Before you think what a slacker or bad teacher I am, I want to clarify that none of my boys will suffer. We'll still practice our calendar, complete with ordinal numbers, days of the week, months of the year, counting to 50, counting backwards, and "Who's Here Today." We'll still practice our word wall, complete with letter names, letter sounds, color words, names, words we've learned this year and our letter-of-the-week song. And, we'll still have our "center" activity. Zayde will still get his daily lesson in facial features (eyes, ears, mouth, tongue, nose.) We'll still review his colors (red, yellow, blue, green.) And, we'll still learn more farm animals and sounds. I say that they are my boys, but really other than Zayde, they are not technically mine. But for the nine hours a day, five days a week that I have them, I call them mine. This post is really about them... (Man, I wish I had pictures!)

Kids really do say the cutest things! Here are a few of the funnies that I get to hear daily:

"We're just playing fortend." (pretend)
While playing dinosaurs: "Hurry, we have to rescape!" (escape)
"Cough, cough, cough. I have a sore in my throat." (a sore throat)
"Can we have a garnella bar for snack?" (granola bar)
While pointing to the highest number on our number chart: "I love you 50." (trying to measure his love)
"Ms. Amy, I can take care of Zayde for you today. I can feed him, put him in his crib and watch him by myself all day." (Aww!)

Soooo sweet! Although sometimes I like to complain, I really do have it good.
