Just in case you were wondering...

I hit the jackpot this month.
My 'snack day helper' fell on the day of the pumpkin patch field trip.
How exciting!
Right?

Right?

Let's just say that it is NO fun getting on a bus to drive over 30 minutes with 40 4-5 yr olds.
"You're Lola"
"No, YOU'RE Lola"
"uh-ah-YOU are Lola"
over and over and over. Who the hell is Lola. Apparently you are!

It is even LESS fun getting OFF of the school bus when the wind is so hard that you feel as if you will fall over. It is like 35 degrees out with not a speck of sun.
Everyone jumps off the bus to grab the closest pumpkin they could find. That is except the 5 lovely kids I was in charge of. Every pumpkin was the wrong pumpkin.
It got to the point where I happily said,
"Oh, this one is perfect for you! Let's pick it. Oh, you don't like it? Well, sorry, it's picked and in your bag. I know you'll love it later. LET'S GO!?!"
Then, even less fun is having 40 children wash their hands in a ONE SINK BATHROOM before snack...which I had to buy. Which, because it had to be portable just about broke the bank. OK, not really, but is snack day really supposed to cost over $30? I didn't think so!

I've been off the bus for more than an hour, and my feet are still cold.
