This morning, Bruce made eggs and potatoes for breakfast. Max woke up and said "Is Gwamma Debbie here? And Papa Ron too? Dey are? Can I go see dem?" Then he ran out of his bedroom. After breakfast, Hailey and I had to get ready to go to school. Hailey was so excited to have me come help in her class today. They had a few minutes of free play and then the teacher had me take a few kids at a time to make their letter cards. Then we all sat down in a circle around on the floor to do the calendar and the weather. The teacher has one of the kids go to the window and look to see if it's sunny, cloudy, rainy, snowy, or windy. They hang some things on the wall (sun, cloud, rain, snow) to show what the weather in like that day. Then they get to dress the girl or boy hanging on the wall(They can pick shorts, sunglasses, coat, jacket, hat and mittens, shorts, shoes, boots, ect.) The kids love doing this. Then they had "Jesus time" before going to gym class. They do a short Bible story and sing some songs. Hailey loves "Jesus Time" and is always talking about it. She always says "Jesus time is very important. It is the most important thing. For gym class, we split the kids up into two groups. We lined the kids up and the teacher and I bounced basketballs to them. They caught them and bounced them back to us. The kids were funny as they would try to bounce it as high as they could back to me. Before heading back to the classroom, we ran around the gym. Four of the kids including Hailey were chasing me and laughing really hard as I would turn quickly so they couldn't catch me. At snacktime, the teacher had Hailey and another little girl (the one who brought the snack today) help me get everything ready. I asked them to put the placemats on the table. The other girl went and got them. She gave Hailey two to put on and she went to put the rest on. Hailey put her two on one table and the other girl put hers all on the other table. The girl was just about to put her last placemat down and Hailey said "No, we should put five on this table and five on that table cause there is ten kids so that would be the same." (There used to be 12 kids but the twins in her class just moved so now there is 10. This week was the first week that there was only 10 in the class because Friday was their last day.) The girl agreed and they moved a couple of the placemats to the other table to make it even. I sure had fun being the class helper. I enjoyed getting to see what Hailey does at school. She is such a good girl and listens to the teacher so well. At lunchtime, Max asked for yogurt. I told him we didn't have any more. Then he said "Why do we don't?" We had to do a quick run to the store after lunch. It was naptime when we got back. And we all ended up taking a nap. When we all woke up, we got snowsuits on and went outside to play. After some fun playing in the snow, we pulled the kids in sleds around the block. Jack laughed and screamed the whole time. He would copy Hailey and Max and scream when we pulled them fast or along side each other. They liked when we would race each other. When we came back inside, Hailey said "We should clean the toys up in the living room." Then she said "Isn't my good idea such a good idea." Once all the toys were picked up, she turned on some music. Hailey and Max started dancing and had Jack laughing so hard. He just thinks they are the funiest thing. Hailey helped me give Jack a bath. She liked playing with the bath toys with him. After tucking Jack in bed, we gave the kids separate baths. Bruce gave Max a bath first while I read Hailey her books and Bible. Then Hailey had some fun playing in the tub while Bruce read Max his books and Bible and got him tucked in bed. Hailey thought it was great that she was getting to stay up "really late". It wasn't really late. She just thought it was cause Max was already in bed when she was done with her bath.
