Summa' Time!

I'm still thinking about my dilemma, and I'll be praying about it but I think my tentative decision (I say this like a whole nation is waiting on my decision) is that I'm keeping the blog. I like it. I will have to remind myself with every entry to write as if the Mothers and Fathers of my class all have access (which technically they do seeing as how it's the Internets and all). I'll tell the truth but probably keep the dirties out of it, ya know? So that's my decision... for now. Decisive I am not.

So, I don't know about your neck of the woods but here where I am it's pretty nice and sunny these days. Finally. We have long winters, like winters until the middle of May. Re-dic-u-lous if you ask me. My husband and I have been enjoying the sun and heat. On Sunday, after church, we went to his cousin's house for a BBQ with some other families. We were the youngest and the only childless ones but that's okay, we know all the kids anyways (11 from 3 families, woo they know how to have kids) and I pretend they're mine. So yah, there we are BBQing away and "Happy Birthday *Cousin*!" Uhh? Oh crud, it's totally cousin's birthday and we didn't know, we felt kinda awkward but hey, that's what family is for, right? To feel awkward when you forget each others birthdays. Luckily he didn't care/notice so all was well. A good time was had by all, there was much laughing, it's a funny funny group. And, of the 11 children at this BBQ 2 will be in my class next year... they too are interesting girls. One got stuck in a tree... or should I say "stuck"... I went out to rescue her and she was free by the time I got out there (have to admit, I didn't hurry). She informed me "you'd better stay 'cause I'm going to do it again and then you'll really have to save me"... I went inside, haha.

Growing up an only child, I live for big family gatherings. I love having kids everywhere and adults spread out throughout the house talking and laughing, that's exactly what I want our house to be like when we have kids. I have to admit, I kinda envy the Duggars... 18 kids may be a few too many for me but, a girl can dream (and a husband can pray it never happens!). I suppose I should just be content with my class full of hooligans rather than a home full... for now at least.

School today was Quiet (notice the capital Q). Both Tommy and his counterpart Joe were away... the energy level was down yet productivity was not up. It is totally time for summer vacation, the kids are spent, done, finito. The biggest excitement today was a wiggly tooth (which thankfully fell out so I know I won't have to listen to the whining about it tomorrow!) and making paper mache bowls- oooooooohhhhhhh the mess! I had wallpaper paste all over my hands and arms... that's a sign of a good day. I'm still picking it off my elbow.

The funniest moment of today was the cackling contest (evil villain laughs from 7year olds are pretty stinkin' funny) at lunch. I have no idea what started it but amusing none the less.

And, I suppose that's it. For now. Mwahahahah. Just kidding.
