You asked......

As I was reading an old book to some of the kids in my class the other day called Cat and Dog, I received one of the most literal answers ever. Basically the book is just a simple, funny rhyming book.

Anyways, so the dog in the book told the cat he would turn him into cat pie.

Obviously I asked, "What do you think cat pie tastes like?"
A no nonsense adorable four year old girl in the back stated,

"Blood."

Turning the page and we're moving on......

Our new residence.....

Last Friday we headed to Denver to see if we could quickly find a place to live. We searched all Friday and I was so sad when we got back to our hotel. To put it nicely the nicest place we saw had a lot of cats. Saturday morning wasn't much better, but finally Saturday afternoon we walked through a couple of places we liked.....and ended up going with this cute townhouse.
Now, it's starting to feel real.

Yes.....I have to keep posting this stuff

It may be annoying, however I hear some funny stuff at school. Maybe one day I will write that coffee table book. If you find it annoying....oh, well.

Me: Reading, "So Henny Penny, Cocky Locky, Ducky Lucky, Goosey Loosey, and Turkey Lurkey went to tell the king the sky was falling......They went along and they went along and they went along until they met Foxy Loxy...."

4 year old: "Hey Miss Shawnee, see that chicken."
Me: "Yes."
4 Year old: "It's half whit and half black. I have a chicken like that at my house."

Me: "It's called a plymouth rock chicken....." then I was interrupted.

4 year old: "It's name is Obama."

It took all the strength I had not to bust up laughing.

P.S. I did not have to look at the book to type the excerpt.....I pretty much have the entire book memorized. Now I know how my mom felt with The Cat in the Hat.
Sorry Mom!

Ghost Hunters

So I am a huge nerd for a good ghost hunters or destination truth episode, however I was surprised at recess today when one of the boys in my class said, "Hey Miss Shawnee, we're playing ghost hunters......I saw it on t.v."

Unicorn....really?

Me: "Okay I have a picture here, I am going to tell you some things about the picture in my hand and I want you to see if you can guess what it is. It lives on a farm. It has four legs."

Hands go up.

Me: "It has a short tail, eats anything and everything...."

More hands go up.

Me: "and has two horns."
Girl on front row-hand shoots up. She is freaking out because she knows the answer. I call on her.

"A unicorn."
