I am a Broken Masterpiece: My kids crack me up

My kids crack me up

At our Halloween party, E dressed up like a dinosaur and I would ask him, "E, what does a dinosaur say?" "Dine-saur go RAWR!"
On Tuesday, N was having a chill out in the corner (I don't remember what he was throwing a fit about). The soap guy (who comes EVERY Tuesday at the same time to check our soap dispenser) comes in and N goes, "Daddy!" The only thing similar is that both guys have shaved heads!
On Wednesday, K1 wore her pants with squirrels on them. The first time she wore them in September, I taught her a song I knew from camp called "Grey Squirrel". In said song, the squirrel swishes its bushy tail. K1 does an all-out swishing of her tail that is the darn cutest thing I have seen. She throws her head down so her butt is straight up in the air and she shakes it. I have a video that I would love to post but it shows her face a LOT and I don't know how to edit videos with little black circles or blur out her face. Just trust me -- it's way cute!
Also on Wednesday, during our free play in the AM after breakfast, I over heard H tell his buddies that "Mommy has a baby." I looked at him and said, "H, is mommy going to have a baby?" And he said, "Uh-huh, SOON!" And on soon his eyebrows went up and he stuck his hand in the air, pointing with his finger. (Not soon, though... Mom's due in March.)
On Thursday we had an in service where we watched a video about curriculum and me and E, my new co-teacher, rearranged our room and took a lot of things out of containers and just placed them on the shelves. All day yesterday whenever we were having free play, C would take a purse out of Dramatic play and fill it up with the sensory bottles. What a hoarder!

I wish I could say that my job is good birth control and a good reminder of why J and I need to wait before we have kids.

But that would be a lie.

I leave you with a photo I posted on Facebook, so I apologize if you've seen it already:
