end of the week thankfulness...



we are home.
we didn't lose anybody
except for one hermit crab
who is probably thanking
it's lucky stars
that it escaped
the fate of becoming
an urban crab.

i can barely complete
whole sentences.
so i will write more
later.

my favorite question of the week:
"ms. k., if my hermit crab dies, can i eat it?"

  1. Yay! You made it!
    I am glad you are back and from what I have seen of the pictures it looks like it was an amazing time!
    Have a great night's sleep and I can't wait to hear the details once you are rested enough to share.

  5. Kathleen -

    I just have to say that your photos are simply amazing. You capture each one of your shorties so well, they all look beautiful and eager and so sincere. The fact that you take such lovely portraits of these kids speaks volumes to the relationship you must have. I don't think these shorties would let just anyone capture these images.

  9. ms.k ,,,you are a truly inspiring educator:)

    When I think back through my 13 years of PS...there are only two teachers that really touched me in the way that I think you have touched the lives of your shorties. That's a big deal.

    On a lighter note...isn't it crazy how being with children all the time can somehow eliminate your ability to think in complete thoughts or spit out whole sentences? Sometimes I mutter, "calgon....." and my kids wonder what gibberish I'm speaking.

    you rock.
