Juice Boxes and Rock Surprises

So the other day one of my girls was walking really funny, kind of like a bowl-legged cowboy. I thought it was a little strange but kindergartners are the epitome of strangeness sometimes so I didn't investigate any further.  Well, school ended and I noticed her pants were now BULGING in the front.  Oh dear.  What in the world could it be??  I am not lying when I say I was totally prepared for ANYTHING because seriously, they really do the most random things!  I walk over to her and bend down to talk to her.  "what do you have in your pants sweetie?" I whispered.  "Oh it's a juice box for my friend." as she pulls out a full on juice box and nonchalantly hands it to her friend.  haha.  It's better than having to carry it around!

Also, this little boy totally made my day.  He colored that picture for me.  That is me, standing next to him.  And yes, that is my badge that I wear everyday, with my picture on it! How cute is that!!  He also said he had a surprise for me.  yeah....it was that rock.  I will add it to my "surprises" collection. The juice box girl gives me surprises every now and then...buttons, cupboard handles, pictures of her sister, stickers...

and that is a normal Kindergarten day.

Fun stuff..."notTAGGED"

LIFE AS I KNOW IT:

Well there ya go.  I officially wasted about 30 minutes and your 5 minutes.  I go back to school on Monday and I am way excited to see my kids!! I miss them.  But staying home has been absolutely amazing.  I definitely noticed how much I ponder things in my head.  I mean, I have no one to talk to!   Also here are some things I decided about 5 year olds:

1- Hands down, cutest school age.  I am not joking when I say every single one of my kids is adorable.  Some of my boys are like mini Abercrombie models, no joke. I love my classes! 

2- Kindergartners are awesome because they don't stink yet!! Even when they come in from recess!  

3-  They don't know what it means to kiss up and they don't know how to really misbehave.  Perfect, really!  Every sweet thing they say is genuine. "Mrs. Peterson, you make my heart happy."  "Mrs. Peterson, you're beautiful."  "I love you teacher!"

4- They make so much progress because it's the first year!!

I think this post is turning out longer than I planned!  But Jake is super busy these days.  He goes to school (majoring in Psych) and work everyday so he doesn't get home until like 6:30 or 7.  He works so hard for us, I love him to death!  He rides his bike A TON as well.  He loves cycling, and his favorite ride at the moment is to the Capitol and back, which is 40 miles. He rides to and from class as well.  He wants to buy me a bike and tells me this everyday.  I am just afraid I will suck and maybe won't use it enough to get the money's worth.  We shall see...it would be fun to bike with my husband.  

I just run.  I love it.  I am hoping to do a 10K with Nick and Ashley soon.  I run 25 miles a week and have found it's a perfect amount for me right now.  It's hard when I am teaching because I have to wake up at 5 to run.  And Holliday Blvd is quite dark that early.  Winter is approaching and running in blizzards on icy roads is always fun too.  Just gotta have the right gear!  PS if you see a runner you know, don't honk, it's startling!  I think I might jump in front of a car one day on accident because they honk.

Ok well I am done blabbing. um Oh yeah I cut my hair.. the pics somehow are at the top. My hair was super fly awayish too for some reason.
