1st Grader

Today was Hunter's first day of school. He has been waiting for weeks for this day to come. Yesterday around noon he told me that when we get home he was going to jump in bed and go to sleep. That's how excited he was.

This morning started off a little different than the past 2 months. I'm usually dragging Hunter out of bed around 9:00. Not Today.

Hunter was up bright and early. He ran so fast into the tub as if a LION was chasing him. He was all ready before 8:00. I'm so excited for him. I've never seen him so HAPPY!!!





I realized today to cherish every moment with your kids. It seems like just yesterday I was holding him in my arms. Wow, time flies!!!!

WHEN YOUR KIDS ARE QUIET....

DO YOU EVER GET SCARED OF WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO FIND WHEN YOUR 3 YEAR OLD HAS BEEN QUIET FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES?

SOMETIMES I'M AFRAID TO SEE WHAT DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE..



WHAT IS HE THINKING AS HE'S DRAWING WITH A PERMANENT BLUE SHARPIE ALL OVER HIS FACE NOT TO MENTION ON 2 BIG BATHROOM MIRRORS?









-EITHER HE IS TRYING TO SAVE US MONEY BY NOT WASTING PAPER
-HE SEES HIS GIRL COUSINS PUTTING ON MAKE UP AND THINKS A SHARPIE WILL DO
-WANTED TO LOOK LIKE A SCARY MONSTER
-OR, JUST WANTED TO MAKE A MESS

I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE MOTIVE WAS TODAY....

KIAN.... I STILL LOVE YA!!!!

Is it more work than its worth

Whether or not to attend the Family Reunion? That was the BIG question... Getting ready for a trip is always a lot of work, especially when your on your own.

-Catching up on the laundry so you have clean clothes to wear
-Making sure the house is clean
-Packing for 4
-and a 2 and a 1/2 hour drive with the kids and no DVD player

Sounded like more work than its worth....

Even though it seemed like a lot of work I went anyway and Im so glad I did. The kids and I had a BLAST! Games for the kids, movies under the stars, visiting with family, and great food

.. that's what made this trip FUN!!!

Grandpa Bob would be proud.....
