well it's 9:00pm and I'm home free..literally at home and the kids are sleeping and Zach is at work (bless his heart ;) so here I am thinking how I can't wait to have my own classroom again as I search for Spring Crafts.. for really no reason other than I have to let Josiah try them and maybe I will bring some to church :D I just can't help myself, I really miss teaching Kindergarten..I still look for ideas and scour the internet for the perfect Springy crafts..
I actually have tears in my eyes right now as I remember all the precious little faces from last year buzzing around the classroom as they painted flowers and made coffee filter butterflies..
just not the same without it.. maybe I could hang butterflies from my ceiling at home
I just can't help but think of apples melting into sauce as we read Apples Apples in the fall or glitter showering the floor as we decorate ornaments for the School Tree as we read When You Take Your Mouse to the Movies and the chocolatey smell of hot cocoa as we await Mrs. Claus' storytelling in the winter or the caterpillars and butterflies that overcrowd my walls as we enter into spring with The Very Hungry Caterpillar and The Very Grouchy Ladybug and the hatching of ducklings that fill our hearts with wonder for Make Way for Ducklings and 10 Little Rubber Ducks or the goofy relay races and tearful goodbyes and picture frames for our summer beginnings.. What I Did on My Summer Vacation.. books like those echo in my heart and their memories flood my mind.....

... it is these memories that causes me to hope that I will be able to return to work next year and still be able to balance my own three at home. I know that it could be a bit topsy-turvy at first, but then again you have to understand the level of commitment I have for each of my loves.. Zach, JoJo, Josh... and teaching..to be continued
