Art

I have been waiting all year to get something home from art at Devins school and finally I got it. Dev came home today and told me that they did a very special project. He had to draw something special for his parents that reminded us of him. They sent home a sheet to order this design to be put on mugs, tshirts, etc... Looking at it I said, "this is neat, what is it?" " A piece of Bacon mom." Devin says. "Um, why bacon honey?" Trying not to sound confused and supressing the giggle. " You know I like bacon mom." SO, when you come to my house and see mugs and plates with bacon on it. Or me wearing a tshirt with bacon, you will know-
I love my bacon loving kid! I am taking orders :-)

blue and gold banquet

Tonight was our Blue and Gold Banquet for Cub Scouts. The boys were to make a cake with their dads that represented a state. Devin did Indiana- The Indy 500 cake. He won 1st prize in his Bear den. WAHOO! Even better, we didn't bring any home. It was sugar upon sugar. Fun night and the kids enjoyed having bites of everyones cake.

Valentines Party

Devins Valentines party was so fun I just had to post. It is a good thing that we are out in the portables or I think we might have been in trouble. The whole building was shaking. We put on some music and we did the chicken dance and a congo line. We did not even get to any games because the kids were having so much fun. I think I caught some of the parents doing the chicken dance, you know- it's contagious! Well, sugar, music, food and fun make for a great party. Way to go 3rd Grade!

Valentines

We had a wonderful Valentines, we decided to spend it with the family and just chill this year. What girl would not want to spend it with 3 handsome boys?

Death By Chocolate

We had so much fun tonight. My friend Angie hosted a murder mystery, Death by Chocolate. Dressing up and laughing at each others characters was a blast. A real who done it!

I will help you mommy

Today I am home with the stomach flu. Braeden had it last night so he knows how yucky it feels. My little sweetheart says "mommy, I will be your helper all day and get you whatever you want." I really didn't need anything but his cute smile and willingness to help made me order. "I will just have a drink buddy." He came back and handed me a drink. I took a large gulp and ...... "what exactly is in this drink?" " I put milk, candy, not the soft kind 'cause that would be too yucky, orange juice, seeds, not from oranges (ok, don't even want to know where he got those), and ice." He is rubbing my head saying, does it make it all better mom? Yes sweetie it does, thank you. :-)

snow day!!!

Every year our community brings in loads of snow for all of those in Texas that never get to play in it. This is Devin sledding down the hill. What you don't see in this picture is the line to get to that point. It goes all of the way down the back side. Most of the parents waited in line while their kids ran and made snowballs and then came to pelt them. The kids had so much fun. Who knew that so many people had sleds on hand. I did see a lot of boogie boards and water sport "sleds" though. There were a TON of people there. I remember last year they actually postponed the snow day due to cold weather. I wish I had a picture of the sign. I laughed forever about that. It was pretty chilly this year which made it seem like winter for a day. Braeden could not get enough of the snowball fights. I actually had to carry him kicking and screaming to the car. He could have stayed there all day.

I had to take a picture of this for all of those up north. This is a sign at our park. We have an alligator down the street from us that we visit regularly by the school. I will make it my mission to take a photo of him this week.
