Humor from students

Earlier in the week, I gave my algebra students 2 minutes to get out paper/ pencil.  At the end of the 2 minutes students who didn't have the supplies out were sent to "Time Out".  It's kind of like an during the school day detention.  While students are there, they have to fill out a paper about why they were sent there and what they might do to prevent future "Time Out"s.

This student response is just hilarious.  Tragic, but damn funny.  It's best if you read it out loud.

"What did you do to be sent to Time Out?"
She told us to get paper out and I dont gots none so I ask this Russian kid for some and he like didnt understand me and she sent me for this which is dumb!

Just darn cute.

I was working on getting what may or may not be part of our Christmas cards.  Here a sneak peak.

Connect Four

Kate pulled out this box the other day, so now among the other toys we have under foot, there is Connect Four.  She really enjoys putting the checkers in.  And I haven't showed her about them dumping out of the bottom, so we still have room for growth with this toy. 

18 Month stats

Kate's well-baby check went wonderfully.  She's about 25 pounds and 32 inches (I think I'm remembering the height correctly).  She was about in the 70th percentile for each.

Playing with daddy.

The laughter was just too great to not capture on video.

18-month self-portrait

Hey. Kate is 1 1/2 years old today! This is my cheeful girl after getting up from her nap. And here she's reaching for the camera because someone showed her how you can see people when you look at the back.

So after taking our pictures, we looked at the photos in the camera from last weekend's trip to Oregon. It was the cutest thing - she would say, "Awwww" and then hug the camera to her face when she saw people. She is such a bundle of love and joy. What a blessing!
