Why you can't help but love kids
Well first of all they are so dang cute, but second they say the funniest things. As most of you probably know I spend Mondays-Wednesdays in a first grade classroom this semester and I have enjoyed coming home and telling Jason all the funny things they say or do. One little boy who I think it the cutest thing in the world we actually quote all the time. We were learning about Mexican rugs (patterns and what not) and he gets all excited, pops up and gasps, "I am a Mexican!!!" It was so cute. He also loves to come over and give me bunny ears. It's quite amusing. I would love to take him home with me.
Anyways, one time my mentor teacher asked a little girl named Melissa to bring her a little piece of paper towel and she comes back with a piece the size of her fingertip. Me and the teacher couldn't do anything but look at each other and laugh. You get what you ask for with kids. lol. Basically I have come to the consensus that teachers become teachers to be amused all day. Okay maybe it just makes up for the terrible pay.
Besides spending my days with first graders (which by the way, makes it really hard to switch back my brain back into "adult mode" ie. not saying, "okay friends lets. . ." etc.) we have mostly been doing school and working (what's new?) We have manage to have some time to relax too. I really want to take off somewhere for the weekend. Provo has this tendency to make people feel the need to escape for awhile, not sure why exactly. I think we would probably do it but there is just two problems (not including the need for justifying the money we would spend) 1- my car has been smelling like something is burning when I drive it- that can't be good! and 2- I haven't learned how to drive Jason's car yet (it's stick) so he would have to do ALL the driving. I decided maybe we will just find something to do outside here in Provo since it is SO nice! And maybe this will motivate me to learn stick this weekend!
This is random, but speaking of Jason doing all the driving, can you believe he did ALL the driving of our Uhaul from WA to here last year? I was really nervous to drive that huge thing so he did all the driving. He's such a sweetie :) And speaking of Jason, he is still thinking about accounting. He is worried about whether or not he will get into the program (even though he is getting all a's and b's, it's very competitive). I keep telling him we can always go to a school in WA if he doesn't get here. It would be fun to move by our family anyways. Speaking of family I just realized that Jason's sister and hubby (and of course sweet little baby) are coming down soon and he used to be a mechanic so maybe my car can just hold on until he can take a look.
I realize my thoughts have been very random, but hopefully it makes it a little more interesting than my other blogs (which I realize are pretty boring, what do I say I do not have a gift for blogging). Well basically it is a beautiful day and while is hard to stay inside right now, I can go out and enjoy it in just 49 minutes! Hopefully we can find something fun to do this weekend and I can remember to take some pics. We shall see. And. . . only 3 weeks left of classes. YAY!!!
We are still waiting to get our background check back so we can continue the process of becoming foster parents. Jason randomly got really excited for it one evening, so that was sweet but it's such a slow process!
