First stories...

Hi!
After many hours spent drooling over the creative and beautiful things in other people's blogs I've decided to start my own. At first I'm not sure how much creativity you'll see in it, but it's a goal! I hope to have a little shop with all my little crafty creations...someday.

I'll also like to use my blog to tell the crazy and mostly very funny stories I collect in my job as a Kindergarten teacher.

These little happenings remind me everyday to appreciate the little joys of life. Being with small children helps keep me grounded, forcing me to live in the moment and not always take myself so seriously. Especially in these uncertain times.

Here's one to start...I have a very caring little student in my class this year who is always "checking" on me. She comes over while I'm sitting in a tiny chair about to read a story and she'll pat me on my back and lean over and say, "I'm just checking on you, do you need any cheering up?" So cute! Well the other day she comes in the room and says that she has something for me. After squirming around and digging in her jeans' pocket she pulls out a single Halloween themed, bat shaped fruit snack, "here" she says, "I don't want you to get hungry". My first thought was a scene from Ferris Bueller's Day off when the girl on the bus says, "you want a gummy bear? They're really warm and soft they've been in my pocket." I had to turn around so she couldn't see me cracking up. "Oh, thank you" I said. "I'll save it for later!"

Another gem happened last year when I was asking if anyone has any lunch money, an adorably sweet and cute little guy comes over and hands me some coins (lunch usually cost two dollars) he hands me his two coins that he retrieved from his Spider Man wallet. The two coins were Chuck- e- Cheese tokens. Oh my gosh...so cute!

That's all for now
thanks for reading!
