Karma and Mystery Mail

So wouldn't you know, two days after I write a post about wedding shoes - I have a kid take off both his shoes and throw them at my head. Yes, that is correct. A five-year-old. He threw a chair and as I was approaching to discipline the chair throwing, two little shoes came hurling toward me. Just goes to show you never know what you'll get in kindergarten.

Last week we had another shoe-related incident. One of my little girls decided to untie her shoes at rest time. She put her legs straight up in the air at a 90 degree angle, took all four shoelace ends and placed them in her mouth. She then proceeded to play them like a guitar singing loudly (in an otherwise calm, quiet, serene environment) like a banjo. Awesome.

Today we received a surprise package in the mail! ("We" being, of course, my classroom. Poor Christopher isn't my "we" anymore...) My future sister-in-law decided to "adopt" our class and each month will send us a book. The kids were THRILLED to get mail and we spent a good five minutes trying to guess what was in the flat cardboard package. First guess - motorcycle. Then a correction - "no, no - a BLACK motorcycle." Next guess, "your hair looks like my mom's." Needless to say, In the Small Small Pond was not provided as an option. We all LOVED it and it was a fantastic surprise! THANK YOU KATHY, Matt, Maddie and Molly! :-)

I got a super fun piece of mail at home today - MY BRIDAL SHOWER INVITE. I am totally jazzed. I'll have to scan it in and post it in the next few days (sans details of course), but it is too beautiful not to show off. HOORAY! Something non-school-related to look forward to! I'm so glad the girls decided not to wait until February!!

Back to work! :)
