Made my first Classroom Buddies visit today.

Classroom buddies is this program that cbaray was kind enough to get me an in on. Once every other week, Yahoo!s go play with kids over at Bishop Elementary. I’m teamed up with one trubio and we get to play with Ms. Egleston’s second grade class. weeeee . . . !

Today’s activity was gingerbread houses. not sure how are when gingerbread houses became grahm cracker houses, but whatever. grahm crackers were cracked, frosting was frosted, and a whole boatload of candy was . . . . candied(?). in the end, many a four walled confection structure were built, and much fun was had. i feel sorry for whoever got them next. we pumped them so full of sugar . . . . geeez . .. sorry.

i forgot how much kids like attention. as soon as you raise an eye brow, they pounce on you and soak up as much face time as they can. with a bunch of kids, it’s like watching a flock of birds, were they all start swarming around you with smiling faces and outstretched hands. “can i have more m&m’s?” “some more red vines?” “i need more frosting.”

anyway, i’m hoping this entry comes off cheerful, cause, like, that was my intent. i guess i should put my analytic hat down for a second and say i had lots of fun messing with kids today.
