Randomness

So I know it has been a totally long time since I have posted anything new. Not that nothing new has been going on, actually to the contrary. There has been so much going on that I don't have the time to post. So I thought I would just share a few pictures and update you on a few of the happenings in the Coombs household.

Hannah really enjoyed watching the Olympics. Her favorite of course was the gymnastics. I can't say that I blame her. Anyway she came downstairs one day with her leotard on and her metal that she got from swimming lessons on. She then informed me that she was a gymnastics winner.


Hannah has started preschool and she absolutely loves it. She can't wait to get there and she fights Chad everyday when it's time to go home. Her favorite thing to talk about is her school friends and Miss. Clarissa. The other day she informed me that she has bones in her face and hands. When I asked her if she has bones in her feet as well. She put her foot right in her face and then said "I totally do mom." I later realized that they were learning about their bodies at school.

Because I am at a brand new school this year, we went about three weeks without a playground. For weeks my students would write in their journals about the new playground and how excited they were for it to be finished. When it was finally ready for them to play on it looked like a million little ants on a crumb of bread. I was actually really impressed with how well behaved they were and how they all just waited their turn. It was really fun.

What a difference a day makes

I don't know really what to say with this post, except that I am so excited! Just take a look for yourselves.

Chances Are?

So I was going to post this to my Hannah says section of the blog, but it is too long of a story, so here goes. Hannah's new favorite thing to do is read stories to herself. As a first grade teacher, (and a biased mother) I would have to say that she is really good at looking at the pictures and telling an accurate story based on what is going on in the picture. Anyway, her favorite books right now are the "If you give a mouse a cookie" series. Recently her story telling has sounded something like this... Once upon a time there was a princess, and "Chances are" she didn't like her stepmother. It really cracks me up that she inserts the "Chances are" line from her favorite books into each story. Anyway yesterday she was reading a book she has about turkeys and this is what she says... "If you give a turkey a waddle, chances are, she'll want a neck!"
Isn't she the most clever girl ever. I have to say that I couldn't stop laughing at her. I hope this gives you at least one thing to laugh about today!
