Poor Little Leprechaun

St. Patrick's Day! The day that consists of getting pinched, and those wacky little men we call Leprechauns. Have you ever seen let alone caught a leprechaun? This year at school these pesky little men have been making a bit of a mess in the classrooms, even Peeing green pee and NOT flushing the toilet..
I always thought that if you could find the end of the rainbow there would surely be a leprechaun with his pot of gold.. Apparently they would much rather hang out at Sycamore Academy.
Today I learned something new, I had no idea that leprechauns laid eggs, seriously who would have thought..?? Logan came home today carefully holding, yep you guest it, his very own Leprechaun egg. He was SO excited, he placed it gently in a bowl, even gave it a bath. Not long after, the egg cracked, or shall I say "was cracked" What child is not going to try to crack a leprechaun egg to see if there is a leprechaun in it? Not long after Logan was very quiet, I asked him " Logan why are you so sad?" with that, he started crying such a sad cry, saying he Killed the leprechaun.. HOW SAD IS THAT? I decided I should tell him the truth, "Logan buddy there was no leprechaun in there, it was just pretend, he's still crying pretty loud, and say's now I'm sad that it was pretend." So what's worse, thinking you Killed your leprechaun, or that the leprechaun you thought you killed is fake.

Happy 2012

It's been a super duper long time since I've blogged. This one isn't going to be anything fancy just a bit of an update. As we speak my house is full of kids... where did they all come from? we went from being the only kids in the neighborhood to having TONS. Even a couple living right next door.. My kids are in total heaven. I am exhausted!
Holidays have come and gone, Lots of Hanukkah fun! This year we headed up to Northern California to have Christmas with Joe's side of the family. This is the first year his mom is not with us. See I didn't even blog about that.... We lost Joe's mom, Morgan and Logan's grandma in August of 2010. It was a total shock, and totally unexpected. Here we were planning Thanksgiving in August with the exchange students when BAM! we got the call threw the kids in the car and headed to Holister.. Sadly she didn't make it and suffered a massive stroke at the age of 68. SO this year we spent the holidays with the Botto side.
Morgan and Logan are AMAZING of course, Morgan is miss Popular and sassy pants, Still a little peanut but with a MASSIVE tude... Logan is almost 6 now, reading at a 2Nd grade level, knows a lot about everything and shocks the heck out of me on a daily basis..
I actually went back to work. Now don't get to excited, I'm over it. While at the gym I got a call from a preschool I applied at over 3 years ago, They wanted me to start working asap. It is an AMAZING place and I loved it. But it was just too hard, I love being at home, not worrying about what happens if my kids are sick, or missing their events at school. Not to mention when they are on Vacation. And I was not hired as a teacher, I was doing a lot of cleaning up after everyone else, and it just made me sad. So I'm back to being a SHAME and I love it, I may bitch and complain now and then, but I would not change it for the world... I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and fabulous New Year. I hope 2012 bring joy and peace to all of you!!
