Sometimes, math lessons with Eli can be very frustrating for this Type A teacher. He sees art in EVERYTHING and it can drive me crazy because it takes twice as long as it should. The 1, which became 11 after borrowing, became a house. The 5 became a fishing pole and the 4 was changed into a triangle. The 7, in the sum, became a battle ship. And this simple problem (61-4=57) turned into a 5 minute art project! #artiseverywhere #artinmath #canwepleasejustsolvetheproblemandmoveon #heissoslooooooooooow #patienceisastupidvirtue #iwantpatiencenow

SPIRIT DAY- FLASHBACK TO THE 80’S!!! Neil’s dream come true!!! According to Noah-this is how the dressed in the 80’s. He’s convinced that everyone wore NASA shirts, so he’s wearing one under his denim jacket- with the color flipped up. We were talking about in the car and Noah said, “they sure dressed stupid back then”. I told him it wasn’t that long ago and he said “ mom-it was nearly 40 years ago!” HOW DID THAT HAPPEN???? In my mind-it was only about 20 years ago!!! #feelingold #borninthe80sNOTfromthe80s #stupidspiritday #thisonehurtalittle
