The good, the fun, and the funny

I just heard that my brother-in-law Elvin had a much better day today - sitting up, walking a bit, some tubes removed, and moving out of intensive care. Thank you, Lord!

Yesterday one of the kindergarten teachers took her little ones outside for a project. They were going to "splatter paint" a little table and chair set to sell at our school's benefit auction later this month. She had them decked out in her husband's old work shirts, his old sox pulled over their shoes, and shower caps on their heads. If that didn't make quite a picture as they walked out across the parking lot! Of course I didn't have my camera, but I grabbed my cell phone and headed out for a picture. They were just too cute!

I just realized that I haven't posted a picture of Sophie for a while. I can't let Lisa have all the fun, can I? So here's one she posted lately that I just love. Sophie was riding a pony at a birthday party. Does she look delighted, or what?? I can just about hear her giggling all they way up here in PA!

And here's a joke: Question: How can you tell that you are a preschool teacher? Answer: When you reach into your pocket to get your chapstick for your dry lips, and after applying it, wonder why it tastes and feels so strange. You look and discover that you have just applied Elmer's Glue Stick to your dry lips!! (This is not a joke, it's a true story. Just ask Wendy Harley, our Pre-K teacher!!)
