Oldies but Goodies

Standard

As I was getting a picture off the camera for something else I realized there were some from quite a while ago… oops.

So as promised, better late than never… here are some Christmas pictures that were stuck in the camera.

XXII Olympics!

The Winter Olympics are in full swing.  That means this household will be watching lots and lots of curling… along with those other sports they show.

I love watching the opening ceremony and I especially love the sappy Olympic commercials they play.

They have talked the Olympics up during the past week at the tall one’s school.  He kept talking about how it was starting soon and he was very excited.  They even did a flag ceremony in the gym.  Everyone got to wave little flags.  I think someone got to carry a big one but the story was hard to follow.

He knew what day they would start and even that he had to wait until 7.  All afternoon he kept asking what time it was.  He would look at the clock and loudly read the numbers.  Even though he knows his numbers, he would still ask if it was time yet.  When it finally turned 7pm, he couldn’t wait.  I turned the channel and on came snowboarding.  He looked over and me and asked what that was.  I said it was snowboarding.  He looked mad, “I wanted Olympics!”  Apparently he didn’t actually know what that meant.  We talked it up and showed him the really cool jumps and twists.  Then he thought it was sort of okay but wasn’t exactly sold.

Poor kid.  Hopefully he’ll appreciate curling as much as his dad.

Uh… Ms. Annie… We need you

It’s both a blessing and a curse to have the short one in the same location as I am all day.

The other day I had survived the lunch sprint in my classroom and was getting nap time going when the side door opened and I was summoned.

“There seems to be a green bean incident and we need your help.”

I was envisioning an epic food fight with green beans plastering the walls and maybe the side of a few kids heads.  At least some green beans in hair and across the tables and floor.

 

 

Instead, this…

He apparently put two green beans in his mouth and then refused to swallow.  So they gave him some bread.  They thought that would help get things moving.  Unfortunately he just ended up with beans and bread in there.  Then the milk was offered to wash everything down.  Nope.  It just made everything nice and soggy.

 

 

That’s when the decided to pull out the big guns and get mom.  I had to look away so I could laugh at how ridiculous he looked.  After everything, he ended up still left with one bean in his mouth that had to be spit out.  At that point everyone else was finished with lunch and things were already cleaned up so, very much with my permission, the rest of his food went in the trash.  He still talks about his food in the garbage.  Every time he brings it up, we review the importance of just eating the food right away.  That had to be disgusting by the end and only shows how stubborn and determined he is.  I can only hope I find a positive outlet for that right quick!

The tall one got his own phone.  Really it’s an old phone that has no actual phone capabilities right now.  It’s solely on wireless.  He thinks he’s hot stuff being able to pick his own games and carry his phone around.  He discovered the camera and the pictures are awesome.  These are just a sampling of the world from his view.

And finally, in honor of the last post- I loved all the T-Rex pictures and had to share more with all of you!  There are lots more but I had to cut myself off.
