Funny Karis-isms from today..

You know my love of a hilarious preschool conversation...so here are a few from just today!

Conversation 1:
Karis: JILL-LI-LAN!!!
Me: what?!
Karis: It's about to get CRAAAAZY in here.
Me (laughing at this very random comment...we were simply having a snack): oh really, why is that?
Karis: Because it's about to be PARTY TIME! We're going to have a party!

HAHA!!

Conversation 2:
Scene: I hear Karis scolding her beloved stuffed animal (Honey Izza Bunny) and I walk in the dining room to see what the commotion is about. She has bunny in a corner and is talking very loudly to him..

Karis: Bunny! That was very bad! You are in TIME-OUT.
(She walks a away for a second and then casually walks back to the corner)
Now Bunny, why were you in time-out?
(in a high-pitched voice...speaking as Bunny of course)- Because I spilled oatmeal all over the floor.
(back in her normal voice) Thank you for telling me what you did. I love you. If you didn't tell me what you did I would have to leave you in time-out because that was VERY BAD (very firm voice).
Me (I've been watching this and I look over in the den and see several packets of oatmeal sprawled across the floor): Karis, I don't think it was Bunny who put the oatmeal on the floor, I think it might have been you.
Karis: Nope. Bunny did it. But don't worry Jill-li-lan, I already put him in time-out and he said he was sorry.

SOO funny! (she did pick up the oatmeal)

Conversation #3:
Scene: Playing outside, Karis is pushing Laurel in her swing.
Me: You are such a great big sister! Do you like having a sister?
Karis: Yes I do.
Me: Do you still want a brother?
Karis (with a very contemplative look on her face): No, I've been thinking about it and I changed my mind. I want a dog instead.

LoL...so funny!!



Needless to say....I am SO happy to be back with these two crazy girls =)

Surprise...

Tonight when I got home from babysitting, I walked in to the office and saw a cute pink gift bag sitting on my desk. I opened it to find tickets to see Paramore (my favorite band) and Tegan and Sara (another favorite) on Sept 1st. I am SOOOO excited and I was SOOO surprised! Greg was too sweet to get these for me and I can't wait to go see this concert! He is the absolute sweetest!!

Mother's Day at the Zoo...

Yesterday we had a fun day out at the Zoo for Mother's Day with Cindy and Thomas and the Joneses. It was such a beautiful day to go and when we got there, a nice lady gave us FREE tickets...sweeeet! We spent a couple of hours walking around looking at all the animals and then we all packed up and went to lunch. to our dismay, Chow baby (the original plan) was closed on Sunday for lunch, so we ended up eating at IHOP which was still good...we joked about being so hungry that it really wouldn't have mattered where we ate, we would've cleaned out plates anywhere we went! We had such a fun time with everyone and I hope that Cindy and Katie both had a wonderful Mother's Day out!!

Before and After...

Hair Before...

Hair After...

It's all gone! It was so unhealthy and I got to the point where I couldn't do anything with it and even straightening it made it look stringy...so, I went this morning to get it all chopped off and guess what? I donated FOUR PONYTAILS (!) to Locks of Love...That's a lot of hair gone! I hope it makes a few good wigs for people that need them =)

What do you think?

Best. Book. Ever...

Ok, so my Collaborating Teacher gave me this book the week I left, but I waited to start reading it until this week. Oh. My. Gosh. I LOVE it! It is based on the Book of Hosea which I have never really studied, but in a nutshell it is about a strong Christian man being called to marry a prostitute. The unconditional love that is shown in this book that the husband shows for his wife and that God shows for her is awe inspiring. Anyone can relate to this book because we have all strayed or questioned God at some point in our lives, whether we are a Christian or not. Anyway....you should read it. It's awesome (well, at least I thought so haha).

Last day in 3rd grade...

Today was my last day of 3rd grade TOSS. It was SO sad leaving, but since I know I am going back for Field Day, it wasn't too bad. This is such an AWESOME group of kids and I am going to miss them tons! My teacher was fantastic and I know I will keep in touch with her because we have become such good friends! This experience has really shown me where my heart truly is, and that it is in the classroom!
