Getting through it all.......

.....with the help of hilarity.

quotes from my three year olds:

1. After showing them a picture of a walnut:
Me: "Ready, Read."
My class: "The Chicken McNugget."

2. Me: "Andrew, what did you tell Tripp?"
Andrew: "I told him to 'shit up!' "
Me: "Oh. O.K. And what do you think that means?"
Andrew: "Be QUIET!"

3. Ella: "Miss Erin, can I have some hanitizer?"

4. Me: "Andrew, we're going to go to the mirror, and you're going to tell me what's wrong."
Andrew, after looking in the mirror: " Miss Erin, I have marker all over my face. It's blue! (thoughtful pause)........I didn't want to."

5. During circle time:
Me: "I'm going to hold up a color and I want you to tell me what color you see."
Harrison: "Seven!"
Carson: "Circle!"
Anna Ryan: "Thirty-eight!"
Me: "Wow. The COLOR, not a shape or number."

These may give you a taste of what three days in my week look like. Even though it's difficult to make it to one o'clock sometimes, I truly do love all of my children.
