kid and play

i dont recall the last time i saw riverside at 7 in the morning. it was refreshing.
the combination of the warm sun with the freezing breeze and the just-fallen rain.. if the moment were a mixed drink, it would be my new favorite.

my sister, adm, grace, and i volunteered to help joanna in her classroom this morning because today equaled the 100th day her 1stgraders have survived being institutionalized in this great america! i guess they celebrate that nowadays?

:] it was tight.

..and fun, and extremely rewarding. as soon as we walked in (late, of course) we began our activities which consisted of:
-100 snacks
-100 smiley face stickers
-100 fruit loops as a necklace
-100 tally marks as a bracelet
-100 fun excercises on the blacktop
-100 seconds of quietness
-and 100 more things!

those darn kids are so freakin cute. maybe i'll want one of my own someday. they can call me 'ms. jo'

[thanks for the name tag, ms. molo :) ]
