'Tis all

Colorful Earphones
I turned on America's Next Top Model reruns. sat down at my computer to write, and this is what happened:Oh, hey Thor. He's a big baby. Shortly after this picture was taken, he proceeded to try to climb up on my shoulder and curl up to sleep. He found he was too big for that anymore and hopped off. How embarrassing!
Anyways, this here is my latest crafting endeavor!
I had about enough of my earphones tying themselves in hopeless knots in my bag. I got the idea from picture I found posted in Pinterest of other people doing the exact same thing. I couldn't find a tutorial, but it is pretty obvious it's just a simple "friendship bracelet knot", which I'm sure any girl who has been to summer camp or has been 12 years old before would know. It turned out to be a little more time consuming that I thought, but they turned out really cute! And they do NOT get tangles no matter how far to the bottom of my bag they go. Best ever!
I'm working on some awesome and eco-friendly wall art right. It's a process, but hopefully I will be able to finish it soon! It's comprised of only papertowel tubes. Sometimes toilet paper tubes work, but only if the paper comes off cleanly, which rarely happens with toilet paper. I'll post some pictures when it's farther along. I'm getting anxious for it to be done; it's going to be SO cute!

TOTALLY CHANGING EVERYTHING
Well, hello. I dug up my old blog, read all 12 of my posts, and decided to start again. I'm no longer living in Orlando, so I'm not working at the lovely preschool I always wrote about. Sad! I still miss those kids. Since then, I've moved back to Orange Park, got married (love you Brennan), and went back to school for court reporting (super fun). I also am currently working at my church as the assistant to the Children's Ministries director; or as I like to call it, assistant to the assistant regional manager (Office fan alert).
All that to say, I no longer have access to silly stories from silly four year olds. "But you just said you worked in Chidren's Ministries?" Yes. Yes I did. But I do office work during the week and check them in on Sunday morning and then herd them to their rooms. Not much interaction. Occaisionally I'll get something blog worthy, but not often.
So where is this blog going? I don't know. Probably a lot of rambling about school / work...epic crafternoons I embark on...styles I'm wearing...cat videos...hard to say. This post is the awkward transition between the two so don't judge me yet. I talk as if I have 394709235156 followers who have been waiting with bated breath for me to return and at last resurrect this blog from the dead. I'm sure that's probably the case. No fears! I have returned!

Jesus spells God
yesterday at summer camp, we were in the middle of eating snack when one of the boys pointed to a picture of Jesus with the name "Jesus" written in giant letters above it. and this is the question he asked me:
"does that say God?"
-"no not quite....but youre close! what letter does it start with?"
"J-E-S-U-S!"
-"yes! and that spells....?"
"God."
-"well no actually it spells Jesus, but thats close."
"well....Jesus is God right?"
-"yess......"
"so...then it can also spell God."
i love theological discussions with 4 year olds.

"The Foolish Man"
i dont know how i didnt make this the top of my priority list the other day. it may be one of the funniest stories this year. (remember all names have been changed to protect the innocent.)
"ms. c! johnny is being a foolish man."
"a what?"
"a foolish man."
(obviously this isnt normaly in a 4yr olds vocabulary so we were having trouble figuring out what she was saying and if she even knew what it meant.)
"and how is johnny being a foolish man?"
"well, he wasnt sharing the ball and i wanted to play with it and the bible says if you arent being nice then youre being a foolish man."
how are you supposed to react to that. what is the proper response besides an open mouth stare. after we overcame the initial shock factor we told her yes, that is correct, he is not being very nice. but rather than complaining about wanting the ball or whatever johnny had, she just smiled and walked away. ah kids. and their wisdom.

This is How I Argue
i get to be the receptionist all day today. all day. do you know what kind of power i have? i get to write tardy slips! our administrative assistant isnt here today, so they called me in to work for her. WOOOOOOO!!!! this also means i get fill in things that happened on all those days when i didnt write anything. and write little things that happen right when they happen which is what im about to do right now. just listen to this great little convo i overheard between two little boys:
"hey look at my shirt. im going to water day at my school. thats why im wearing this shirt. its water day."
"haaaaaaahh....no its not."
"yes it is!"
"hahaha no."
"YES!"
"haha no. this is how i argue at my house. no"
if thats not the greatest argument you have ever heard, i dont know what is.
ps - the time is now 9:12am.
cuurent tardy slip count: 8
pps - time: 11:32am.
current tardy slip count: 12

2 things...
1.) today is the third to the last day of school, so the kids have been drawing us more pictures than normal. and by "more than normal", i mean 87 as opposed to 12. so today, one of the girls brought me a card she had made me (super cute).
"oh i love it! i'm going to hang it on my refrigerator when i get home so i can see it every day."
"ok! but make sure you put it up high so your little sister wont get it."
i would have definately taken this into consideration 14 years ago, but seeing as how my little sister is now 18 and about 4inches taller than me that would just be silly.
2.) two of the boys were doing a puzzle together, when one of them ran over to us in tears.
"what's wrong?"
"well i was doing that puzzle and i didnt want him to help me, but he did and i wanted to do it by myself!"
"well did you tell him that?"
"no..."
"well why dont you tell him right now why you're upset." - (by this time the other boy had come over to tell his side of the story and make sure he wasnt going to get into any trouble.)
"well....well....i cant remember why i was upset right now because i was just telling my mom how i'm a forgetter and i forget why i'm upset sometimes!"
oh kids.
