Change is good

Hello so i was getting a little bored with my blog so i changed the fonts and stuff around a little....not that you have much of a choice but tough

So this week is fabulous the kids arrived on Tuesday and they are from two different schools, one school is up in the Alps and all of the kids are bused in and they all learn in one classroom that was an old church or something like that so the kids are super sweet, however their english is non-existant, they dont know any of the W words like Who What etc and it makes it really really hard to communicate with them. They are also really little; they are 6-11 but of course in my family( i am a single parent this week) i have all the 6 year olds so i end up basically cutting meat and getting new silverware because the tables are too big for them and the spill EVERYTHING plus they continue to just talk at me in French lol but the plus side is they are extremly cute!!!
The one little girl Madison looks and acts like Gretal from SOM(Allison) and just keeps tapping me at the table to ask questions!! Im teaching ESL again this week and we have Fairy Tale Day which is new for me so it should be interesting, basically its like Hollywood day but they perform a fairy tale.

There is a little boy at my table who constantly asks me May I water please, and my favorte quote to date May I have some toliet please.

Anyway this week is fun today i was a Turkey in this ridiculous skit i got soaked in the bath scene i went to space as a turkey i got married annnd disco danced...as a turkey.....But last night was magic..;our family names this week are POW, Boing, Kablam, Yoink and Clickety Clack and so Blue and I were Batman and Robin for the evening program and we went all out, to the point where my face is still kinda black annnd i had a utility belt with working rope attachment, so we got to fight and use our noises it was hysterical i actually have pictures of batman and robin but they are on Phoebe's camera so they will have to come later!!!

Alright im off to serve snack!!!

I love it. I hope there are pictures of this Gretl look alike. Also, please keep a list of the funny attempts at English. I am far more amused by French people trying to speak English than I should be (particularly because I am likely just as funny speaking French).
