This being my 4th year teaching kindergarten, you would think that I have tons of cute stories to tell. The sad thing is that they are so commonplace that I forget them by the end of the week. (Sad, I know!) Now that I have a blog I have a place to share those fun stories before I forget them.
Earlier this week my class was practicing writing simple sentences. I was working through the sentence "We are at the zoo." and was asking for help from my class to spell the word "we". I called on one of my kids that is pretty smart and thought for sure the would easily be able to spell it. In the most serious face he spelled it "wii". Turns out that Nintendo is actually educational! Wow.
Then yesterday I overheard two of my kids talking about God. This is the conversation:
Girl: God is everywhere.
Boy: God lives above heaven.
Girl: No, he lives in heaven.
Me: You are right, God does live in heaven.
(Then the boy brought over a book with a map of the US, pointed to the word he saw above the US, and asked me what the name of that place is. I told him it is called Canada.)
Boy (to girl): God lives in Canada.

A Hippie Halloween
We had quite a busy Saturday this weekend. My parents were in town so my mom, Kali, and I spend the afternoon running errands and helping her finish getting things for Tanner's nursery. I cant wait for him to be born! :) Brian and I went to the 5 o'clock service at The Village and it was amazing. Matt spoke about the role of men and women in marriage. I highly recommend that you listen to the podcast! Tony Romo was there as well...3rd row center. Brian noticed right when we got there and sat down and I quickly started texting people...haha! After church we headed to a wedding shower and then to our home group Halloween party. We dressed up like hippies and had a fun time hanging out and playing the game "Loaded Questions". Here are some pictures of the fun costumes.

Red Ribbon Week
This week was Red Ribbon Week at the school I teach at. It is always interesting teaching 5 year olds about drugs! My favorite part about the week is that we get to wear fun things. Monday was twin day, Tuesday was Hawaiian day, Wednesday was jean day, Thursday was PJ day, and today was slipper and favorite team t-shirt day. My favorite day was Thursday because my kids had the cutest pj's! I couldnt believe that two of my girls showed up in fleece onesies...haha! There were a lot of Sponge Bob, Transformers, Superman, and Dora outfits. I wish I post pictures of their cute faces but I dont know how their parents would feel about me posting their kids pics on the internet :). The best I can do is to post a picture of their slippers.
We also competed in a door decorating contest. I was so excited that we tied for 2nd place. (Kindergarten never wins stuff like this because the kids dont come up with the theme, I do.) For the contest, our door theme was "I promise to be...DRUG FREE!" and each kid told me how he/she promises to do that. It was so cute because most kids promised to either not smoke cigarettes or not drink beer. Here is a picture of my door and some of their comments.

Dinner and the Drive-In
This past weekend Brian and I had so much fun spending all of Saturday with our friends Travis and Whitney. We started the day off by watching the Texas/OU game while squeezing a trip to the grocery store during half time. When the game was over we decided to enjoy the beautiful weather by heading over to a park near our apartment. We threw the football around and then the boys got out the slack line. Whitney and I attempted it but werent very successful. When the slack line came untied (while the boys were on it) we decided it was time to head back to our apartment. I cooked dinner....lets just say that I have done a better job before :).
After dinner we headed to Ennis to see a double feature of Where the Wild Things Are and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs at the drive in. It was so much fun pilling in the back of Travis' truck while watching the movies. I highly recommend a trip out to the drivein! Thanks Travis and Whitney, come hang out again soon.

It's about time...
I have wanted to start a blog for so long but Brian and I couldn't think of a "catchy" name for our blog. You probably already noticed that we gave up and went with the very original title of taylor and brian. Needless to say, I am super excited to start blogging about all of the fun and exciting things that are going on in our lives. I hope you enjoy!
