New Cow

This is just to cute to share...at least for me.

I picked up Haden from preschool a couple of weeks ago. We were talking about his day and we got on the subject of milk. He now has the option between white, chocolate and strawberry milk. I asked him what he picks and he told me he really only likes chocolate milk. He thinks that my strawberry milk is much better. I asked him why he never gets white milk, because he drinks it like crazy at home. He responded with the typical "I just don't like it at school." We were quiet for a bit and then he pipes back up with how he likes his milk to come from a cow...

I explain to him that the milk does come from a cow just like at home. He then tells me that no, the kitchen makes it at school because that is where he gets it from....

(he has a good talent about making himself sound like he has it all figured out)

I then explain to him that it does come from a cow. Again, he says that it does come from the kitchen. (which it does)

I have realized at this point he has it in his head that I am wrong, so I am not going to win this conversation. He gets quiet again and I assume the conversation is done and then he tells me....

"Mom, I think that the school just needs to get a new cow because the one that they have is very bad." Apparently he thinks that they must keep a cow at school and milk it in the morning!!!

All in the eyes of a five year old!!!!

Closet Challenge

It has taken a little longer than expected due to illnesses and a project for my master's class, but I did it!!! I completed my first challenge. I cleaned out the coat closet by my front door. I had a lot of junk that I threw out and I have started a donation box because there are a lot of items in my closet that is just not worn, so why not give it to someone that will!! To start out the project I labeled three containers so that I would not have my junk sorted all throughout the house. It kind of kept things contained...hence the CONTAINERS!!!






Before:




After:




I had plastic drawers that I bought a few years ago for my classroom and do not use anymore, so I brought them home. They were setting in the basement, so I cleaned them up and used them to sort the boys hats. This should help with deciding which hat belongs to which boy!

Now that I am done with this project. I am thinking about working in the kitchen cabinets.

So.... what is YOUR project???
