I had to spend all afternoon with little kids! It was the South School (1st and 2nd graders) Field Day today, so Audri and I were in charge of the underhand throw. Some kids were snotty, some were rude, and some actually followed the directions. This one girl, I told to back up nicely. I said."Can you back up? We need room for the throwers." all she did was stomp her feet and do one of those,"UUGGGGH!" things. I talked tothe kids, and and everytime that we had a new looking group, or things got to oout of hand, we would get their attention by doing this:
"Are you guys having fun?"
"Yea."
"I can't hear you!"
"YEA!"
"K, would you rather be doing homework, or this?"
"This!"
"Well, then let's have some hardcore fun!!!!"
"WOOOO!"
That made things better, but now, I'M EXHAUSTED! They keep you busy! I wonder how their teachers can deal with that every-single-day!

Having kids is just as hard - if not harder than teaching them!!!
