One of my favorite parts of living in Alaska is being able to text a friend saying how warm it is where she lives because it’s warmed up to -11 instead of being 30-40 below zero. #alaskathings
My mother has hit ultimate mom status and while we are sitting in a restaurant waiting for our food, she pulls out snacks asking if we’re hungry and want a one. #HomeForChristmas
Over heard this conversation between a first grader and an adult today
Adult”Alright let’s wash your hands”
Boy”ok”
Adult”Now, no more biting when you get back to class, ok? They can’t taste as good as a burger. We bite burgers not people”

Reading new story in class.

Me”wow, that’s deep. Good idea.” #thirdgradeadventures
At lunch I convinced the table of boys to eat canned spinach that had no flavor because I said if they ate it with the mashed potatoes it was better. They weren’t better but I got some kids to eat their greens so I’d say it’s a win. #thirdgradeadventures
