My Quarter Life Crisis

Dear Lindsey:

Thank you for your cooking. I love you. I liked to be with you. Thank you for helping me tie my shoe yesterday.

(What did you like best about preschool?)
I liked to do the computers and paint.

(What is your favorite thing about Lindsey?)
My favorite thing about Lindsey is hugging her.

Hannah: "Mom, I want to give Lindsey this potato because she likes to cook and she like potatoes. She can wash it, smell it, taste it, eat it, and dry it after it is wet. She can cook it but she does not have enough potatoes. She likes kids and she likes me. She does not want makeup Mom because she wants a potato! I love her."

I love you.

Love, Hannah

This was a letter that I received (along with a potato)  from a 4 year old that I taught.  I have been with Alta High Preschool since 2005 and have loved every minute of it.  This year was my last year because I am looking for a "grown up" job that I can get full time and benefits with, thus the reason for my quarter life crisis.  Here are a few things that I am going to miss about my job...

Doing random things like making log cabins out of easy cheese and pretzels

I love these girls!  They were so sweet, they would leave me  post-it notes on my desk everyday saying that I'm perfect...

...and draw pictures on the white board.

 The girls ran out trying to beat each other to hug me and the door shut behind us and locked us all out.

I am going to miss my Preschoolers!

While I am more terrified than ever to find my spot in this world, I am excited for the new adventures that are to come...

Ultimate Dog Tease

So my brother called me up today laughing harder than ever.  The reason?  This video... he made me watch it while still on the phone so he could hear how funny I thought it was...

Human Hamster Ball

Last time Cole and I were in Costco, we weren't even in the store for more than 30 seconds when we saw a giant human hamster ball.  Immediately we grabbed one for each of us and continued on our way.

It wasn't until last week that we actually pulled  them out.  We had tried to a couple months earlier, we thew them in Kevins truck  and took them down to the closest gas station only to discover that we couldn't blow them up because the nozzle wouldn't fit.  We jumped in the bed of Kevs truck and headed home...or so we thought.  Kev had other ideas in mind.  He took us off roading.

After we had the beegeeezes scared right out of us he took us home.  

(Pictures soon to come)

Anyways last week we finally pulled them out.  Spencer had an air compressor so we were set.  So Me Nicole, Spencer, Lauren and Jalise headed out.

We took them to the park by Oak Hollow and next thing ya know we were rolling all over the place.

It was the best $30 I ever spent until mine popped, partially. 

Spence thought it would be fun to jump in...

...and then came Nicole

Surprisingly none of us got hurt (other than Spencer bouncing off the ground and landing on his neck).  After we had had our fun we packed up our Hamster Balls in Nicoles convertible and drove home.  And yes we did get a lot of weird stares.

Happy Birthday to ME!

This Monday was my birthday and a preschooler from last year surprised me by showing up at my work and bringing me this card that she made....

 

I then flipped the card over to find this written on the back...
