Joel and I were called to teach the Sunbeams in our ward a while ago! Of all of the age groups in Primary, the 3-4 year olds are my favorite!!! They are just so little and cute! Well this Sunday Joel took Jaxon AKA grumpy gills home for lunch and a nap and I taught them by myself. Easy Peasy! We have such a good class this year.. especially compared to last year! The things I hear from them crack me up every week... I hear all about them going pee pee in the the potty, their princess teeth, and how they are going to be bestest friends with their daddies forever and ever! They all look forward to coloring a picture every week, so I always make sure I have a picture that somewhat goes with the lesson for them to color at the end. Well this week they were overly excited to color! Getting them to wait till the lesson was over was a challenge! So I finally pulled out the crayons and pictures and literally within SECONDS all of the crayons were all over the floor! Ok, no biggie, "everyone stop coloring and lets pick these up so you can use them". Not even 5 minutes later, they somehow were dumped on the ground again... ugh, ok pick them up again.... Somehow the kids, while trying to find the perfect color, kept pulling the box off of the table. But it was not a big deal cuz they were there to clean them all up! Well when class was over I gave out my valentines to them, and had them line up by the door to wait for their parents... one of the little boys forgot his picture under his chair so I reminded him to go get it while the kids were filing out with parents. He turned around and spotted his mom walking by and went running... and I bet you can guess what he knocked over on his way out! Yep the crayon box, it was closed, but broke open and the crayons went flying! This time I had no kiddos to help clean up! Oh well I am headed home to see my baby and hubby! When I got home I put my bags on the table, and guess what fell ALL OVER THE FLOOR!!! The blasted crayons! Ok seriously?
I hurried to pick them up so I could pick up Jaxon, sat them on the table and started walking away.... YEP THEY FELL AGAIN AND FLEW ACROSS THE FLOOR AND KITCHEN!! By then I was so frustrated I wanted to scream! Joel was about dying with laughter because he had witnessed the last 2 spills, but had no idea about the last 3!!! I stormed into our room to change and those freaking crayons sat on the floor for a while until I had the patience to clean them up AGAIN! Haha Don't ask my why it was such a big deal, and I am laughing about it now.. but it was so aggravating at the time!
On a lighter note, we had a great, relaxing Valentines Day... and I think Jaxon liked his presents!

That's funny! I have had a day like that too. But not just with crayons, although they were one of the culprits.
