Cacciatore A Tiger

Today I was reminded why I would never survive being a pre-school teacher.  I had a great morning helping in Mikayla's class but I cannot imagine maintaining the patience to do it EVERY day.  Don't get me wrong, the kiddos were very good.  And I enjoyed helping them, listening to what they had to say and watching them do things for themselves and figure it all out.  But I don't think I could do it day in and day out.  I have nothing but mad respect and a thankful heart to Kayla's teachers (and all other teachers out there!) after my trip to school this morning.  I'm already signed up to help in a few more week and both the Bean and I are looking forward to it.

In other news, due to another goofy start time (Dear MLB, 4pm is not a good time for a play-off game.  Just saying) we had a Tigers dinner party here tonight.  We celebrated National Chicken Caciatore Day and it was an overwhelming success.  Mom, used your '20 minute' recipe and everyone here loved it - including the chef who so appreciates a dish that comes together in less time than it takes to walk to the bus stop and back :)

You'll have to excuse the short post again tonight - the game is on, we're trying to get kiddos bathed and the next two weeks are just crazy busy in general.  So until tomorrow...

Last night after I posted the kiddos decided we needed to try out our new Halloween jello molds

 After school we got out the play-doh for awhile

 Happy National Chicken Cacciatore Day!

 Tiger Dinner Party!
