Dad picked up and said she said her tummy hurt at bkfst but he thought she probably just needed to poop.

And now you and dcks have been exposed, when you otherwise wouldn’t have, since it’s the first day of the week. 😖

I betcha there was no signs that she wasn't feeling well before arrival.

oh my goodness!

First kiddo arrives this morning and within 20 min throws up all over herself, my couch, and her blankie😫

I had a past parent that did that all the time!!! His mom would pop in once he started kdg just to visit because dcb “missed Ms, C sooooo much”. It stopped when I moved. I’m sure she was shocked when she knocked and it was a new family living there. 😅

A past dcm; the one that lasted only 3 months and demanded a conference because she could not get dcb3 in the car to come here but he came in the door here fine so I told her I could NOT help with his home behavior; ANWAY; she text last night to say dcb3 has been talking alot about me and she would like to stop in and say hi to which I replied we are not allowing anyone but state persons in the daycare at this time.....I was afraid if I didn't reply back to her she would pop in

By Friday, I’m blind to anything other than life threatening situations… lol!

We talked about St Patrick himself and did a couple crafts plus watched the veggie tales story of St Patrick. (10 min video on YouTube)

My DCK and DD have been wild all week 🫠

[GirlMomma]

e.j. It sounds like you had a lot of fun yesterday!

I have heard of parades to celebrate today, but it’s only happening at our state’s capital. Around here, people use it as a drinking holiday, which is why I’ve never gone all out for it. Celebrating the true history of it seems like fun!!!

[e.j.]

Any chance there's a storm heading your way? My mother was a teacher's aid when I was a kid and she swore she could tell a storm was coming based on the kids' behavior. I've noticed the same thing with my daycare kids. Or maybe they just have a case of the "Fridays"? ;-)

[e.j.]

That doesn't seem all that unusual to me. Maybe it's because my mother's side of the family is Irish, I attended church and school in an Irish Catholic parish and live in an area with a relatively high Irish population where towns hold big parades to celebrate the day ...? lol

We did St. Patrick's Day crafts all week, read St Patrick's Day themed books, played Irish music (thank goodness the kids don't really listen to or understand the lyrics!), watched videos of Irish dancers and tried to copy them, ate green foods during our meals and snacks and we all wore green yesterday since I'm closed today. I didn't even request that the kids come in green; they all just did since it was the last day we'd be together before the "holiday". We don't really make a huge deal of any holiday, but we do a little here and there to recognize them. I wouldn't have even blinked an eye if one of the kids showed up with painted shamrocks on their face! It's all part of the fun here on St. Patrick's Day. lol

Is anyone else's kids wild today? Idk what's going on with my group today!

So much energy, not following rules, yelling inside, running inside.

We're having an early lunch so they can lay down TGIF.

[GirlMomma]

Sparkles me too! I have seen parents are making “leprechaun traps” and spreading Lucky Charms all over their house. It’s so weird 😂
