Life in an elementary school

working at the elementary school every day i hear some pretty funny things. this was a conversation i had with a 4th grade boy, who isnt "fat" but a little on the bigger side when standing next to other 4th grade boys.

4th grade boy: Have you ever ran the mile?
Me: Ya i had to do it when i was in elementary school.
4th grade boy: Cool, we ran it today!
Me: Awesome! How did you do?
4th grade boy: *Huge Smile on his face* Well last year when i was in 3rd grade, i ran it in 12 minutes and 11 seconds. This year i ran it in 12 minutes and 35 seconds! My PE teacher told me i SMASHED my record.
Me: AWESOME! *High Five*

HA i tried so hard to keep my laugh back and i didnt want to crush the poor kids heart and tell him he actually ran it slower this year so i just said awesome. you could tell he was so proud.

i cant believe its october next month, time goes by so SO fast. the leaves are starting to change colors, and the mornings are starting to feel like fall mornings do. Halloween is just around the corner and then the holidays can start!

another semester

seems like school just ended and now we are on to another semester. it has only been two days of school and already i have no motivation to do ANY homework. ever. but after this semester is over, we are that much closer to being done! well... i am, jared still has a little ways to go.

my younger sister started school this semester and its been fun to have her up here. its weird though i feel like she is just here for a really long session of EFY. she is a little smarty pants and is my personal math tutor this semester. lucky her.

i started my new job last week and i LOVE it. seriously, its the best job ever. i dont think i have ever had a job that i LOVE and it makes it that much more easier to go to everyday. the kids are absolutely crazy, but they crack me up with the things they say. it really is a lot of fun and i just go hang out with them and try to keep them entertained. im really grateful for it.

jared is still working in idaho falls at the good old USDA. i know he hates it, but im glad he goes and gets that paycheck! he is gonna have a pretty tough semester ahead of him, but he is a smarty pants too so im sure he will be just fine!

life continues to move forward faster than our feet can walk, but we are just chugging along staying busy with school and work and loving every minute of our poor college life chapter.
