Chinese, Albanian... TOTALLY the same!

Hi Internet,

Have I mentioned I LOVE my job? The kids started coming on Wednesday and it's been a BLAST! I love those little guys!

So, here's a picture of the classroom. Pretty cute eh? If you couldn't tell we're going for the Barn theme. And the kiddos made the chickens yesterday and today. ADORABLE!




So, here's the funny for the day...

So, there is a student in the class who only speaks Albanian (that's going to be a bit of a challenge) and she was playing LEGOS during centers with another little girl, and the English speaking girl was making conversation with the Albanian speaking girl, and the Albanian speaking girl would speak and she couldn't understand, and I heard the following and BUSTED UP LAUGHING!

English speaking student to Albanian Student (like you would a toddler): Can you say LEGO in Chinese??????

Hahahahaha! I love how her little brain automatically decided since she couldn't understand her she must be speaking Chinese!

Precious.

It's Hard Not to Laugh Sometimes....

Hey Internet,

Sorry I haven't been posting as often as I should, I've been working again this week at my sweet new job as a Kindergarten Aid! SO FUN! We've been testing the kiddos one at a time, so it's been fun to meet all the parents and kids. Kinda precious. But one funny thing that happened....

So, in the testing we're trying to see where the students are at and we do some picture-word recognition, well first little girl comes in and sees a picture like this:



Teacher: Can you tell me what this is a picture of?

Girl: Yes, that is a picture of a lamp, but in MY house, WE have Chandeliers.


BUWAHAHAHAHA!
Where do kids think of this stuff? I can't wait to hear more this year!

"A Fair is a Veritable Smorgasbord!"

Oh hey internet,

So, as promised, I have pics from my visit to the Tanana Valley Fair!

The oh, so delicious Bear Claw with Toe Jam. YUM!



Monday was Family night and so we went for some Family Fun, but the little one decided that us old people were boring and was calling it "family dumb night." I can't believe my baby brother is getting to the age when it's no longer cool to be seen with your family! haha

Baby Brother had NEVER been on a carnival ride! Can you believe it???? So, we all rode the ferris wheel with him.



As you can tell he LOVED it. Actually, he did. We were stopped at the very top and he was like "Oh look at the view!" and then middle brother started rocking and the moment was ruined. Hahaha!




Well, by then he had mustered up enough courage to go on the big purple slide. He even cheated and beat his big brother to the end.



Thanks for the memories fair! Can't wait til next year!

Yes, I am a snob. So, sue me.

Hey internet,

So, I went to the fair yesterday, but I'll post more about that later in the week. Today, I have a confession to make.

I like Macaroni and Cheese. The BOX kind.

BUT, not just any box will do. Nope.

It has to be the blue box, Kraft.

AND.

It has to be the shape kind. Scooby, Sponge Bob, Toy Story, you name it. But I like me some cartoon pasta.



It just tastes better. I think it's something about the cheese being in all the nooks and crannies of the noodle.

Truly, shaped Macaroni and Cheese is a better way to live. Not just for kids. Give it a try if you haven't for awhile, you won't be sorry.

I'm SOOOOOO excited!

Happy Monday Internet!

So, big news! I got a job! Well, kinda a job. 6 hours a week, haha. BUT, I get to work in a Kindergarten class at my elementary school! SO my jam! I can't wait! Teacher Krystal.



Bring it 5 year olds!

Twins Seperated at Birth... No???

Hey Internet.

Just thought you'd like to know that I'm FREEZING! I could so go for a snuggle buddy right now! Speaking of.... Um, is it just me, or does anyone else, who knows the boy who took me to haunted house that didn't exist think that Andrew from the Real World DC could be his identical twin???



I thought so too. WEIRD!

Stay Warm!

Lucy! I'm Ho-ome!

Hey Internet,

So, I'm dog sitting. This is Lucy. We're besties.



She thinks it's ok to lick my face to wake me up in the morning. It's not. We're working on that. But, she does like when we watch Jersey Shore. Haha!
