Recently the boys were playing with some blocks during indoor recess. An elaborate robot battle game that has developed over this very cold and snowy New England winter, with each playtime an "episode" that continues from the previous one. Heaven forbid one of the boys is absent, because they spend half of free time catching up on what they missed before they are allowed to resume playing. In our room is a mini-fridge and microwave, which is often the only reason I can eat my lunch at all. Our neighboring teacher was heating up her lunch when I hear the following from the rug...
Kiddo 1: I smell tacos
Kiddo 2: You know what I smell? (in a hushed tone) Victory!
The block battle that ensued was epic.
It's important to remember the ways they make me smile when there are weeks like this past one. Coming back from a week of snow days does not put anyone on their most endearing behavior. Hopefully we won't have a snow day repeat this week.
