oh mylanta

Oh gracious. Where have I been? Hopefully you have missed me! All last week, Dad had the laptop down at camp at Roaring River and so I didn't have anything to blog on...
I am in much better spirits this week.

I LOOOOOOVE MY JOB ya'll.....

I am one of the teachers at Bright Haven CLC in Springdale. I'm a floater and right now I am in the 18 month- 2 year old class. I have 11 kiddos usually. They are just so fun. When I get there at 9, they are having their power snack. They are just so cute and sooo smart and so fun.
My little ladies are: Lily, Lexi, Nylah, Alice, and Bailey.
My boys are: Chase, Khristian, Braxton, Kyler, Braeden, Reece, and Evan.
So sometimes we have 12.
Lily is so smart and already forming tons of sentences together. She is such a little momma. She feeds her babies at play time and hugs and kisses anyone who falls down. She also knows all her numbers, colors, shapes, and letters, and she will repeat any big word you ask her to. "Disappointed" and "Caterpillar" are some of my favorite this week. She also says "turt-el" and "wadder" soooo sweetly. She's already a little bit of a control freak- like me.
Lexi is a sweeeetheart. She's very shy and timid and for most of the day she is on my hip or in my lap. When she gets excited, her mouth stretches so wide and she starts shaking. So cute.
Nylah is so sweet and a little bit of a mischief maker.
Alice is new to our class. She's actually supposed to be in the class below us, but she's bigger than the rest of them and she bites! So she's in our class so she won't be such a bully. She's been very sweet this week and she's got pink eye :(
I haven't gotten to know Bailey much yet. She's very tall and very athletic.
Oh my boys.
Chase is soo sweet and so well behaved and so smart. He is going to be class president some day I can already tell. He sleeps with a monkey, and he snores sooooo loud.
Khristian has bright red hair and pulls this hair when it's time to nap. He's very independent and sweet and well behaved.
Kyler will not wear his right shoe and he's very smart and very mischievous. He's a stinker.
Braxton does what he wants when he wants. He's very sweet when he's by himself, but for the most part, if Braxton is happy, he's doing something wrong. Such a sweet face. Watch out lil ladies!
Braeden doesn't participate in our group things a lot, he does what he wants and does it quietly and he is veryy smart. He says "triangle" sooo cute. I love it.
Reece is sooo stinkin smart and very tall! He is such a sweetheart! I love lil reeces pieces! He knows all his colors, shapes, and letters, and can count to ten in English, Spanish, AND French. Can you do that!? He can count to 20 in English. He is very independent but loves the attention too.
Now Evan, I would take a bullet for. He spends all his time in my lap. This little boy just has my heart. He has blonde hair, BIG blue eyes, and he's a chunk. Alll boy. He is just the sweetest boy- with some big tantrums :)

They nap for 2 hours during the day, and I'm learning all the songs and little tricks along the way. 12 kiddos in 9 hours is a LOT! When I finally get off work, Im so hungry and I take the backroads home, shaving some minutes off my commute. However, I have the energy of a dead squirrel. :S

I'll try not to make my posts all about my kiddos, but I don't really do anything else. I come home, eat something, and shower, and crawl into bed. I'm uber lamo.

I do have a funny story about my Dad though,

Yesterday when I came home from work, I was juuuust beat. I had ran errands on my lunch and after I got off work, I went to Sam's AND wal-mart. I was dragging. Saying goodbye to all my kids and meeting their parents and visiting took a lot out of me too. Anywho, dad said he had bought me some microwave dinners for either dinner or to take to lunch and they were Fretto something or other....I was like, Ok....he really pushed for me to eat one so he made one, and said they were pasta. I was like, do you mean Fettuccine Alfredo?
Ya! That's it.
It wasn't bad.
Good ole Dad.


Night ya'll.
I know it's 8pm, but 7 am comes way faster than it used to....
Thanks for reading.
