Top 5 things my students have said to me this year:
1. Student: Mrs. Ostrom, your hair looks…
Me: different?
Student: No, more like it got struck by lightning.
2. “Dad?
…I mean, Mrs. Ostrom?”
3. “My hero is myself because I’m creative. And I like loft beds.”
4. Student 1: My favorite subject is art, science, and math.
Student 2: My favorite subject is reading.
Student 3: My favorite subject is pugs.
5. “Mrs. Ostrom, why do you have a mustache?”

Top 1 thing I plan on doing for the rest of 2011:
What you can see here is our newly functional fireplace and our high-class “TV”.
What you can’t see is the jumbo cookie tin right in between us. But it’s there. It’s definitely there.
Merry Christmas to all of you crazy Pinch of Yum readers! Here’s to cozy nights by the fire, cookies and hot chocolate, family and friends, and peace, hope, and perfect love.
Kids are hilarious. Thanks for sharing dad…I mean Mrs. Ostrom. Merry Christmas!
That one was my favorite. 🙂 Merry Christmas Joe!
Merry Christmas to you!! Hope you get that pug! LOVE the quotes from the kids. . . precious 🙂
One of my students was dead set on buying me a pug for Christmas, but alas, his mom said no. Darn it.
Merry Christmas!
Enjoy your holiday and stay warm! I grew up in MN and know it can be kinda chilly this time of year!
I didn’t know you grew up in MN! So you can understand my sadness that there’s no snow?! I’m not a fan of the cold, but if it’s going to be so chilly, I feel like we at least deserve some white sparkles to cover the brown grass! Oh, well. Have a Merry Christmas!
Aren’t kids just the greatest?? Thanks for sharing!
Have a terrific Christmas, Lindsay!! Enjoy some well-deserved time off!
Greet the rest of your family from the Krohns!
Yes! I laugh out loud many times during the day. I also want to pull my hair out… but that’s a different story. 🙂 I’ll be sure to greet my family for you! Have a great Christmas!
haha being a teacher sounds hilarious! Happy holidays! I’m going to try some of those treats myself!
Hilarious is an understatement. 🙂 Hope you can enjoy some time off!
Happy HOHOHO Lindsay! Enjoy your fireplace (jealous), your fancy schmancy TV, and your giant tub o’ cookies and thanks for making our year taste better! 🙂
Thanks for reading! And I will definitely enjoy the fireplace. It’s about the only fancy thing about our little house. 🙂
Awww, thank you!
Have a wonderful holiday break! xoxo.
You too, Bev! Keep up the great work on your blog! 🙂
Those are hilarious! I love kids. 🙂
Enjoy your Christmas break Lindsay!
Thanks Emily! Enjoy your time back in MN!
HA. I’m totally LOLing over here. Kids are hilarious. The mustache and dad comments, in particular, really got me!
Haha! We have the best job – most of the time! 🙂
Merry Christmas and ENJOY the break!
Oh – and I think TIED with being called “Dad” is being called “Grandma.”
That is amazing. You should feel honored. 😉
Thank goodness for the break! Rest, recuperate, recharge and enjoy! The school year is half over here and hopefully it will go as fast as the first half. Merry Christmas!
Agreed! Merry Christmas to you, too!
Haha, gotta love the things kids say! Happy holidays!
Brutally honest, I guess. 🙂
I just love the things that come out of kids’ mouths (most of the time!!)!! Thanks for including my gingerbread yum. Merry, Merry Christmas to you!!
Thank YOU for the great recipe! Merry Christmas to you too!
Oh my goodness, kids are too funny! Thanks for sharing these, totally made me laugh 🙂
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU!
They made me laugh, too. And look in the mirror. But mostly laugh. 🙂
These comments are hilarious. The joy of honest children;) Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
Thanks Denise! You, too!
is it bad that, if and when, I have kids, i want to fastforward straight to third grade? I mean, don’t get me wrong, i love little kids, but those third-fifth graders crack me up!
oh the things i hear out of the mouths of my kids!
I know! They are crazy. But I love the craziness. 🙂
