G1- Yes

So Ronda I hope you got the message this morning!

The Winds Of Change

We all know that I have long hair.  We also know I love long hair.  Some of us know that I stress the idea of cutting my hair.  Some of us know that I often “get really sad” after cutting my hair.  However winter is coming.  I hate winter.  I wish I liked autumn.  But I don’t.  Sure it is pretty with all the colorful leaves and the white snow that blankets the earth.  But it is cold, and often wet, and generally the wet is cold.  This leaves me with migraines.  And I do not enjoy them.  My hair (I bet you are all wondering how this relates?) does not cause the problem, but when I am suffering, my hair is heavy and hurts me more.  So, after the last couple weeks of unpleasantness, and almost chopping off my hair, myself, I have decided to get a cute cut.  I am not quite sure how I want to cut it exactly.  So I did some research and found some hair-styles.  I put them on my head, and I want to know what y’all think.

Preschool Talk

So, I have a few gems from today’s trip.  Then I have a few gems from the spring, when I was in a bad blogging funk and just had the quotes on slips of paper.  I have had them hiding on my desk waiting for me to get in the blogging mood again, and I recently found them.  So here it goes (today’s only, I will try to get the past ones with tomorrow’s quotes, I will be at the preschool again) :

I was on the floor playing puzzles with Girl M (2 y 11 m, and is often being told to “walk away” because we don’t hit our friends, take from our fiends, throw rocks/sand at our friends, push our friends, but she is super smart and very energetic, so I was happy to give her one-on-one positive time), when Girl A (3 y 9.5 m) walked through, who also is often told to “walk away” for being bossy and not listening.

Girl A:  Excuse me M.

Me:  That was very nice of you A.

Girl M: Excuse me, too! (with that tone of “please compliment me too!”)

During free play Girl J (3 y) and Girl EM (3 y 6 m) made it a point to come up to me:  Me and EM are going to the store to buy dishes for the party.

Me:  Sounds fun. (But I don’t know if that was my invitation, or if they wanted to make sure I knew there was a party I was not invited to…. Knowing them, I think it was my invitation.)

Boy M (3 y 5 m) came running past us then:  The bus is here!  Choo! Choo!

Morning meeting:

A couple weeks ago Mr S was telling the kids about the ants in his yard moving to another part of the yard, and how there were ants carrying eggs.  Today Mr S was having them answer questions or do research on the list of questions they had come up with.  One of the questions was about if insects take care of their babies.  Some of the kids remembered Mr S’s ants

Boy A (4 y 6 m):  We should take a trip to your house and see the baby ants.

Mr S:  We don’t need to go to my house, we have ants here on the playground.

Outside in the sandbox:

Boy MM (3 y 5 m) and his baby sister  Baby E (1 y 2 m) were playing quietly in separate corners of the sand box (this boy is also very often told to “walk away” for many of the same reasons Girl M is told to).  MM walked up to Baby E and kissed her on the forehead, and then just looked at her and talked to her for a few min.  It was heart warming.

Then Girl M:  Where is my mom and dad?

Me:  At work?

Girl M:  My mommy plays in the garden

Me:  What does she do in the garden?

Girl M:  I don’t know

At the of nap time I was holding Baby J (6 m) and Girl T (4 y 7 m) wanted to talk to the baby

Girl T:  I am going to spell my name for you, * * * * * *. (Then she proceeded to tell her about the good places to visit when she is older.)  Something something something, Myrtle Beach.  My family went there when I was 2, almost 3.  

Me:  (I know  she wasn’t talking to me, but I asked her a question anyhow)  Did you like Myrtle Beach?

Girl T:  Yes, it was fun.  We played on the Beach until I got a bad sun burn.  Ouch!

After the kids all woke up Girl T and Girl EH (5 y 1 m) were cutting pieces of paper asking everyone if we wanted tickets.

EH:  Do you want a ticket?

T:   Get your free tickets here

Me: Are  they traffic tickets?

T:  No, they are train tickets

Miss A:  Oh, I can’t  ride the train I get sick

T:  Do you want a ticket to go on the log ride?

Miss A:  Is there water?

T:  No, it just feels like a log

Who You Gonna Write

We do not subscribe to cable or dish.  We do our TV watching at other people’s houses or online.  One of the shows that we have come to love is The Big Bang Theory.  However, I (we) am upset with CBS at the moment.  All last season (and we waited patiently through the writers’ strike) CBS would post the full episodes about 2 hours after the show aired on TV.  This Monday was the premiere of the season.  They still have not put the episode online.  I am mad, I love the show, and I can’t watch it!  They taunt me by telling me I can watch the highlights of the show, as if that will quench my thirst for laughter.  WRONG!  I want to watch the episode and decide for myself what my favorite part of the show is/was.  So here I sit, frantically refreshing my browser window hoping that there just was some kind of technical failure and that any second now, they will allow me my humorous geek fix (since they certainly have not posted any news about not providing the episodes online-that I have seen, and if they do, I am sure I will cry).  Hopefully it will happen before I throw the computer out the window.

Quiz 59

This is a piece of a bigger picture. I welcome one and all to guess at what it is. In one week I’ll give the answer, and post a new one. Good luck and may the guessing begin.

Esta es una parte de la foto grande. Hay que adivinar lo que es. En una semana regreso con la respuesta y otra foto. ¡Suerte!
