Jacob needs his mouth washed out with soap!

I know Easter is long gone, but I wanted to post a couple of pictures and explain why this was an Easter never to forget. When Jacob went to his Sunday School class, his teacher was reviewing the Easter story with all of the children. She was explaining about the things that happened to Jesus the days leading up to His crucifiction. She told about how Jesus had a crown of thorns placed on his head and how he was beat and spat on. The teacher got very quiet and asked the children how they would feel if they were there or what they would say. At that point, Jacob stood up and raised his hand in the air and said, "What the Hell!" Although that could have really been what he could have said had he been there, the teacher quietly excused the comment and explained to Jacob that we use those kinds of words at home, not at church!!! I'm sure in her mind, she was thinking that she must offer prayers in our behalf for the salvation of our children. Who knows where Jacob hears such things, but we don't use that kind of languae in our home...at least not out loud!

How Many More Days Until School is Out?!!

I can honestly say I have done more school projects this year than any other year in my entire life. I have written more research papers and glued more papers on boards than I even ever attempted in college. But I must admit, my grades have never been better! Thank goodness for the internet and google! Why do these teachers assign so many projects? Don't they know they become my projects? I try to get my kids involved but it becomes painstaking and takes a whole lot of patience and time that I don't have a lot of! I think I have to finish up a pioneer covered wagon and a paper on monarch butterflies and then I'm on the downward slide. And on top of that they expect amazing teacher appreciation gifts and end of year gifts. Sarah's teacher even called me tonight and wants me to chaperone her class on a field trip so that she can attend her daughter's cheerleading tryouts! What do they do for me? Nothing, but assign projects. I am not touching one poster board this whole summer!
