I know it’s December. December 1st. I KNOW. Calm down.
I was going to write this yesterday but I didn’t get home while it was still yesterday. Lefse making went late last night [and was awesome.] More on that to come. [Three batches, four friends, two griddles, and no catastrophes! There is a movie title in there somewhere.]
But before the lefse making began, I went to my Friday afternoon gig – helping first graders with sight words. It’s super fun because we’re starting to get to know each other. I walk in the rooms and they wave. Before I leave the room, they yell in unison, Bye Ms. Stolen. They tell me stories about their elves on the shelves and show me their candy cane picture proudly. It’s fun.
My favorite part is when they have to make up sentences with their sight words. For some reason, I think I would struggle with the exercise. I don’t know why but I’m always amazed at how fast they are. And how fun the sentences are. And how they smirk when they say them. My favorite? The word: old. The sentence: you’re old. smirk
there's no place like gnome.
