Numero Uno With The Rugrats

About 30 4 to five year old kids, which soulds bad but really was not.

I am volunteering for a week where I did my grad project last year--Beltzville State Park. Some other very smart kids are doing the same thing. Doing community service is the way to go. Not only is it really baltently simple, but you get the satisfaction of helping others.

Even though I tell you that its not that bad. 930 to 12 o'clock is plenty. If you think I have a short attention just imagine one that is about 10 times shorter.

But they are so cute. And I love them all to pieces. I know your not supposed to have favorites but I do.

Maddie and Jesse are my kids.

Maddie is 4 and she is just adorable. She caught a grashopper today and she was so happy. I love it. the simple things in life make young ones so happy. I only wish it were still that easy.

Jesse is amazing. He too is 4 and is so rediculously smart. You give him a craft that it takes most kids forever to do and hes done really fast, completing it and doing a good job i might add. At first impression you think hes all shy and gonna want his mommy in like 5. But he doesn't and he is such a cute, polie and well mannored kid.

Of course after the kids left at noon we had a wrap session. We all talked about the kids. Who was troublesome and who was cute. Who had fun and who complained. Who had ADD and who was shy to the point of tears.

Then we went down to the covered bridge to catch bats for tomorrows lesson. We only wanted one but we got two instead. I never saw a bat up close like that. It was amazing. Carissa(the EES) asked me if I wanted to stroke its back. She said if I touched it back far enough it would not bite. BITE! what!? Umm no thanks I'll pass. Its cute and I'll sit there and look at it and talk to it for an hour before I would ever touch it.

J, that is really tough. I get you like no one else seems to want to.
