tidbits

1. Today in class, a student totally called my bluff by memorizing this song and singing it for the entire class. His reward was a bottle of Dr. Pepper that I keep under my desk. After winning, another student knocked his Dr. Pepper off the steps.
Me: Don't mess with the Pep!
Student: Uh oh, do you love Dr. Pepper?
Me: You disrespect the Doctor, you disrespect me.
Student: You want to be Mrs. Pepper, don't you?
Me: Yes. Yes, I do.

2. Picked up the boys, got in the car, and the Black Crowe's "She Talks to Angels" was playing on the radio. We listened for a minute then Owen said, "Hey Mommy! Is that Raffi?"

3. Todd brought home a Twix bar from the grocery store. He gave each of us a bite and Owen said, "This my favorite snack." Henry said, "Mm, delicious."

Brought the kids to work this past weekend while we painted the staff lounge. The boys loved playing the instruments. I wish I could paint my classroom....then maybe I wouldnt feel so depressed about working.

A before and after shot of the lounge - isn't it nice?
