November 2011

I have been trying to keep track of things that these kids say,some of them are sooooooooooooooooo funny,or at least cute. i of course,think of them during something where I cant do anything about it. I told you all that Zak had lost a tooth the other day,an official lost tooth. he was so excited that he could hardley wait to go to bed so the tooth fairy could come. Now you know the rule,if you are NOT asleep,the tooth fairy,as well as Santa and the Easter bunny DONT show up. So zak is sitting on my lap reading and he is yawning,loud,throwing his head back,finally i said "its bed time,your so tired,he went pee and leaped into bed,closing his eyes very tight. Laurel climbs up into her top bunk and while they are laying there doing there pre sleep visiting,he says to laurel "ok,now laurel,go to sleep,im expecting the tooth fairy". I was sitting in the next room and heard this,laughed right out loud.  Yes the tooth fairy did come.

The kids go to a wonderful Charter shool here in Vallejo and it is a "expeditionary learning" setting,lots of outdoor study,ecology etc etc. So the first graders,Zaks class this year their first expedition is "weather" and i am going to tell you he has learned some really interesting things and can explain each thing to you,clouds,the types and what they each do,thunder,lightning and tornados. Earthquakes are big talk right now as well. Soo I am having Zak explain a tornado to me,he explains the hot and the cold air,they get togehter and start switching it up,using his hands to show me and discribe,and then it becomes a summin summin nimbus cloud(im not half  as bright as he is,or perhaps i forgot all this or wasnt paying nearly the attention when i was in first grade as he does. Finally he explains that when it all gets going and is twisting around that you have a tornado and stuff starts flying around,like cows. LOL LOL obviously some kid had seen the movie twister.(not my kids). Stan and I laughed right out lous. lol
Kids do say the darndest things.
