Taking the Time : 0 )

Yesterday we took a trip to the library to read some books and have some music time that the library was putting on for the kids.  On the way back I stopped and realized that none of them were behind me anymore.  As I panicked, I found them off to the side smelling flowers. It had the most profound impact on me, simply because I realized that with my crazy schedule, I have failed to take the time to do that.  I have my quiet reading and prayer time at night and in the morning, but I realized, sadly, that I don' t really stop and just smell the flowers.  The kids were so cute about it when I asked them why they had stopped.  They said, "Well Miss Taylor, they just smell really good! " 
This is a picture I found among my desk of papers. That is one thing you do not learn in college when studying to become a teacher: How to organize your desk!
Today at lunch we were trying to make up funny words, and one of the kids started talking about the word mustache.  Then they wanted to draw one on their faces, so we did this instead.  It was pretty hilarious, but I guess you had to be there :)
