Good Morning!

I have come to find that every morning reveals a surprise these days. Each day seems to have new adventures and challenges along the way. I have tried to tell many people over e-mail or phone conversations...but for those of you who don't know yet I want you to know too...so here it goes... Andy and I will be welcoming a new member to our family come this January. We are so excited, and feel like the adventure has already started. We found out quite early and quickly after I started joining into the wonderful world of morning sickness. God gives me the strength each day and each morning I awake to another dose of His grace. With that said I thought I would share some of the discoveries I've made while being pregnant.

-everything has a smell...yes even ice tea or Gatorade
-chicken is one of the most disgusting foods I have ever heard of
-if you don't do laundry you run out of clothes
-three naps a day can be done and you can still get a good nights sleep
-throwing up is a natural part of a day...no worries
-daily food changes its taste..hmmmmm or at least its appeal changes
-telling people you don't feel well inspires people to tell you horror stories about their best friend who was sicker than you...not comforting
-you can be hungry anytime of day even right after a meal
-Canadian doctors are in no rush to meet their patients
-throwing up is a great sign of health ...hmmm for baby I guess...but I may need this one explained again
-whoever came up with preggo pops should be kissed
-coffee never sounded so good
-if you don't cook its hard to have dinner
-teaching your husband to cook can be fun and entertaining


I hope none of these sound like I'm complaining...I simply wanted to share my discoveries....like I said it has been an adventure...one I am very happy to be on! I will continue to keep you all posted....so stay tuned!

Canada's Funniest Kindergarten Story

Ok, so I know I haven't written in a while. We have had quite an exciting month with so much going on it will take me quite a while to update you all. So I promise to do so soon...very soon. Yesterday was my last day of kindergarten with the kids and I only have three more days at the school, so hopefully I will be able to find some time to blog. As for now I just had to share a quick story that had me rolling on the floor laughing when I retold Andy at dinner. At the moment it happened I had to keep a straight face.

So for those of you who aren't aware I am a paraprofessional in a kindergarten classroom here in Calgary. Yesterday was our last day of class and I was quickly trying to mark papers that needed to go home while Lynda, the lead teacher, taught our Bible lesson. She was just about finished when one of our little girls asked to teach the class a song. She informed us that her older sister learned it at camp and that it was a Christian song. Lynda, graciously said yes and allowed her to teach us the song and the actions. As soon as I heard the first words I looked up hoping Lynda knew the song. She didn't. I have been involved in many summer camps and knew the song well....I never knew there was a Christian version...but then again I guess I didn't know the last three verses. I'll put in parenthesis where I thought the song ended. If you can imagine the entire kindergarten class singing along as our little ieader sang out the words and showed all the motions. Even Lynda was participating...and really how can you stop the song once you've started....I just sat in the back and laughed watching Lynda sing and act out the song. She didn't see what was coming.

the song goes:

Momma shark ba ba bababa
Momma shark ba ba bababa
Daddy shark ba ba bababa
Daddy shark ba ba bababa
Baby shark ba ba bababa
Baby shark ba ba bababa
Grandma shark ba ba bababa
Grandma shark ba ba bababa

Here's a swimmer ba ba bababa
Here's a swimmer ba ba bababa
Lose an arm ba ba bababa
Lose an arm ba ba bababa

( I thought it ended 'happy shark ba ba babab' or 'got away ba ba bababa'...i guess I was wrong)

Lose a leg ba ba bababa
Lose a leg ba ba bababa
Hearts a pumping ba ba bababa
Hearts a pumping ba ba bababa
Hearts slowing ba ba bababa
Hearts slowing ba ba bababa

(here is the Christian part..which is why it is appropriate for Bible time)

Go to heaven ba ba bababa
Go to heaven ba ba bababa
Meet Jesus ba ba bababa
Meet Jesus ba ba bababa

She smiled and then sat down. Lynda just looked at me and said "Well I guess we did talk about Jesus in the song."
I don't think we'll be allowing anymore teaching of songs during Bible time.
