dreams do come true...

because we now own a Dyson vacuum!

well and the part where I married the man of my dreams, have the cutest puppy, and am going to Africa in 3 weeks....this post is SO seriously so blessed!

already..?

I am going to assume that the three wrinkles on my forehead are due to celiac disease; because I wear sunscreen daily, a hat at the beach, use organic paraben free products and my mother doesn't have one crack! ....and it couldn't be that I have been working at a place with horrible management for almost a year where 3 year olds tell me to kill myself when I ask them to open their workbook and today when I told a boy he would get a new workbook tomorrow he said "and then I will punch you in the face..."

no words..

in the older 2's class at snack time

Me"who is our new president?"

2.5 year old boy " BLACK OBAMA" 

2.5 year old girl then says "Obama is my present!"   

different 2.5 yr boy "NO Obama is my present!"

girl "No Obama is my present"

I told them he is our new President and offered them more crackers and they moved on to somethng else!

minutes later in the 3's class at snack time

me " childs name do you know who our new President is?"

3 yr old girl " Barack Obama.... he is going to take all of our money away and give it to other people."

me..........

different 3.5 yr old girl " he is going to take all of mommy and daddys money away and then they can't pay the man at church"

her twin sister "the man at church with the basket that you put money in, mommy and daddy won"t have any money to put in it is cause Obama is going to take it and give it to all the other people and then i will be sad"

me.........."girls name where are your socks?"

2nd twin nervously "Obama is going to take our socks"

I am pretty close with the twin's parents and doubted that they said all of this so I told the Dad what they said at the end of the day; he had to sit down.  We figure the girls took what they heard from the first girl and the last time they saw money being putting it in the collection basket at church on Sunday and put it all together...oy vey!  

relapse

Forgive me every system of my body for I have sinned and thus harmed you! **I didn't eat the crusts and Nick did have 3 pieces!** And like any addict I have excuses I didn't feel like making dinner...something that I have been upset about and praying about for months came to some sort of head and not a favorable one.... and i miss Quartino pizza! I pinky promised Nick and myself and now the blogosphere that I will not mess up again before Africa, I want to feel the best I can!

p.s. some preschool children may not have a phonics, math or spanish teacher tomorrow

finally we are as cool as our parents

today is the day we joined the wii world! come over for mario kart madness!

said to a 4 yr old boy from south africa "i am going to south africa soon" .. "i am going to the bathroom"

3 yr old girl while falling asleep for nap " kristin i pooped today"
me "thats great, i am so glad"
3 yr old "it was a school of fish poop"
me, nervously "what is a school of fish poop?"
3 yr old "when all the poops are wittle but close together and there are lots of them in the water, like a school of fish on planet earth"
me "of course"

at the end of 2 yr old math class "would you like a stamp....which one?"
2 1/2 yr old boy "OBAMA stamp"
"i don't have an Obama stamp, how about the star stamp?"
"OBAMA like it?"
"i think so"
"on tv they say OBAMA!"
ok...that one i guess you had to be there but every time he said OBAMA he did so in a low and loud voice with his eyebrows down and fists over his head

after that flop i'll stop now the rest is mostly had to be there or 2, 3, and 4 yr olds swearing

Chicago, Sunday 4:32 pm

I love Kristin

Did any of you know how lucky I am? I have the best wife. I could write a million reasons here, but looking at a few pictures made me remember even more. (Plus I have a ton of Nyquil running through my veins and I can't see straight enough to type the words).

our future (like in 2 years) baby wants this!
