Cullen's Cuteness

 Cullen ADORES Pre-K in Nauvoo with Mrs. McConnell.  She had Tristan years ago and then her and Mrs. Fink (the real Mrs. Fink not the new one that used to be Mrs. White, lol) had Cedric too.  But, since then none of my kids have lucked out in having her.  I knew Cullen needed to have Mrs. McConnell.  She is the BEST!! Cullen made this Indian headdress and a Pilgrim hat around Thanksgiving.  That same day they also had a Thanksgiving dinner at school in the cafeteria.  He wore this hat for two or three days straight and even wore it back to school the next day!

Mrs. McConnell sent me this note on facebook:

"Too funny Colista. I have a funny story to tell you about Cullen, it has nothing to do with the creepy elf, but I just remembered and wanted to share. We made Pilgrim hats & Native American Indian headdresses for our Thanksgiving feast at school. We wore them to the cafeteria and someone said, "I like your hats" Cullen replied, "We are idiots" (He meant Indians LOL) This cracked us all up!!!"

He is so funny!!  And he always talks about Mrs. McConnell and Mrs. Reinhardt (the teacher's aide) and how much he loves them!  It makes me so happy that he loves his teachers!  

Mrs. McConnell and I message back and forth on facebook and this is the message I had this morning:

"LOL! He's such a shy guy until he gets to know you, so not sure he will sing at program, but he does when we practice. I bribe them with M&M's and Skittles. It's amazing what they will do for 1 M&M LOL! We weren't successful in getting him to a try a bagel for breakfast or chili for lunch today though. Cullen is the sweetest boy, Michele and I just love him. Randomly, someone will come up behind me and give me a hug, when I turn around it's usually Cullen! The other day he gave me a hug and said I love you! It melted my heart He is the sweetest boy and so happy that I got the chance to be another one of your children's first teachers!"

We are trying to decide just how far we want to go with the remodel.  I change my mind everyday.  Some days I want to go all out and other days I just want to remodel the existing garage and sell immediately so that we can get to Nauvoo.  The problem we face when we sell is finding a house that is big enough for us or nice enough.  I will not get into another fixer-upper.  Ever.  Ugh, another problem is, I LOVE the Nauvoo elementary but, really dislike the Nauvoo Jr. High.  And I don't know what to think about shipping the kids to Warsaw. Anyway, this was supposed to be about Cullen's cuteness....he is so stinking cute and sweet!! Don't know what we would do without him!!
