This past Wednesday I had the opportunity to attend the 3rd grade field trip. It was an interesting experience for me. I loved that I got the chance to go with Hunter and spend time with him. I am just undecided as to whether or not I enjoyed the whole experience!! HAHA I volunteer in his class every other week. So I am familiar with his class of kids. However, after spending quality time with them half of the 3rd grade........ I KNOW I could never teach 3rd grade. (I must also admit that the thought of having four 3rd graders in 2 years causes my heart to race and make me feel like I might need a straight jacket!!) They were very loud, several were extremely rude. I was a little surprised in fact at how some of them chose to behave. It was a good experience for me though because I have wondered about my 3rd grader but really he is an angel in comparison!!! Seriously though, I was glad that I could go and help out and I would never trade the time that I get to spend with my kids and help in their classrooms. As a teacher in my pre-mother life, I know how great it is to have that help. So Hunter my sweat pea, thank you for wanting me to be there. ( I dread the day that it is not longer "cool" to have your mom with you!)Saturday, May 21, 2011

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that feels this way sometimes. Teachers are not and could never be paid enough for what they do.
oh...and he is so handsome!
Jackie, It is great to follow you guys on your blog and see how your family (and you) are surviving all of the trials and joys of 6 kids. My son gave me a kiss in the 9th grade in front of his peers after bring his math book to school. So it never gets old that your kids will want you around.
