So for the past few weeks school has been going on and I have gotten to know my kids pretty well and I have discovered that the minds of third graders are well... interesting ...
1. Mrs. Nelson you are having a BOY bc only GIRLS have BOY babies
2. Mrs. Nelson I couldnt turn in my spelling contract bc my little brother peed on it
3. Mrs. Nelson my THIRD dad moved out this morning because my mom said he didnt make dinner.
4. Mrs. Nelson We all have a boyfriend (4 girls) his name is stuart... .. (one boy four girls... hmmm )... i asked them how that works... they replied... I dont know he just gave us his number
5. Mrs. Nelson if I had a key to the school i would sneak into the cafeteria and eat all the food (completely random comment in the middle of a lesson)
6. Mrs. Nelson, my mom said i CAN only do hw on Mondays and Thursdays
7. Mrs. Nelson, my dad says pregnant women can get ornery easy
8. Mrs. Nelson the reason why I was bad today is bc i forgot my pill this morning
9. Phone call from a concerned mother: Mike (name change) told my daughter to wear something sexy to school ...
10. Mrs Nelson I can't sit in the front (boy who was recently moved to the front of the class because of talking) bc i cant see the board
11. Mrs. Nelson instead of skipping recess, (says the boy who had his recess taken away for not reading) can't I just tell my mom I wasn't reading and she will yell at me?
12. Kenzie ( name change) why are you not reading (they were supposed to be silent reading while i worked with groups)? - her reply- I already read last night for 40 min.. and i only have to read 20 min a day... SO.... I am done...
13. Mrs. Nelson can we line up in Alphabetical order so i can be first (her last name started with the letter N)
14. Boy asking for hw for the week bc his grandpa died and he was going to his funeral... Me: i am sorry he died.. Him: i am happy he died bc now we dont ahve to go there for dinner on sunday anymore OR christmas
I am sure there are more... but my brain hurts from trying to remember them... and i am sure there will be more.. all and all i like my job.. and the kids..... only thing i would change is pee boy and his lack of control of his bladder,.. and transfer cry at anything boy to another state

Stolen thunder--but i am over it
Russell apparently got sick of waiting for me to update my blog... or he was looking for entertainment while we were at my family's house in cedar... so he did an update on his blog about Korbin's birthday and since i am much too lazy to make another one you can go to his site - russiferandfam@blogspot.com to see some obviously cute pic of my kid.
School has now been going on for 4 weeks.. and I am thinking i am getting the hang of things.. and feel like my head is above water for the moment. I am loving it... Most the kids are cute- aside from pee in my pants EVERY day boy and cry if you look at me the wrong way boy. But out of a class of 26 .. only haveing two kids with "issues" is pretty good right? I even have some of my sub plans made for when i pop (which is in less than 8 weeks thank you!)

NOUGH SAID
So since russell went blog crazy i dont have to much to write.. and you will have to go to his blog to see all the pic :)-
But here is the quick update of our lives-- we DID NOT find out what baby number two is.. my bet is now changed to girl... i think.. it is really neat to feel her (it) move now- i forgot how much i loved it with korbin-
We went camping over my birthday with some really good friends.. and russell was a good sport about going again after we had only been home for two hours (we went Friday to Saturday with Bob and Alyse came home unpacked showered and napped and then got a call from Marshall and Lanette and we decided to head back up... for another night.. so repacked and hit the road) it was TONS of fun, and for the first time in three years didnt rain TOO crazy bad ;)
Russell is yet to do the camping pic but has said he woudl..so I will give him a fair chance ( i want to encourage his blogging habits..) so stayed tuned to his site and leave a comment of two and maybe he will become a regular-- next thing he knows poor kid will be on facebook :)
