Phone thief

I love when I let this little one borrow my phone and she takes all these candids.

daddy love

love 'em!

I accidentally stole it.

When James got home from school yesterday I found a rock in his backpack. I thought nothing of it and just put it back. To me it did not look special. It wasn't shiny or sparkly. Just a brown rock.

While I was at work, I believe James explained to his dad that he took the rock from his science center at school because he really wanted to show me. oops. Josh explained that because James did not ask to bring the rock home, that it was stealing. Que the tears and devastation.

James was so afraid of his punishment at school. They have good behavior -green, moderate-yellow, and bad-red.

James has been on green since the first day of school! (Woot) He just knew that he would have to move it to yellow since he did something wrong. Dad explained we didn't care about the yellow, as long as he told the truth.

While walking to school today James held tight to that rock. Explaining to me that he accidentally stole it, and what he was going to tell his teacher. I told him there's no such thing as accidentally stealing something. He should know from now on, if he really likes something he should just ask to bring it home, etc.

We couldn't find his teacher this morning, so I'm not sure if she's even there. I left him with the rock telling him, what he should do.

I'll keep you posted.

pet party

I highly suggest you have one of these parties...the fewer the people, the better.(in my opinion) And maybe 4 is a little to young still. But I do know that this little birthday girl loved it! The bunnies are great, and so fluffy.

Happy birthday to my 4 year old little baby girl!

Oh I love being a girl!

How fun is this? Dress up all day everyday.
This itty bitty bikini top is for an infant she just really wanted to try it on.
She says oh mom I like it!
James calls it a booboo cover.

First day

Just a report on James first day. While waiting to pick him up. I'm feeling more like a mom than usual. I have experienced several stages in my kids lives where I feel more like a mom than other times. One other was when the kids were being rambunctious at bed time and I had to tell them to settle down or else. Just these weird pictures of me doing something that I may or may not remember my mom or dad doing, then bam it's me, I'm a parent, weird.
So I wait. Tell them who I'm picking up. Wait. Make it all the way to the front of the line. Notice a slew of kids standing outside but my child is not. Yikes! I see the principle she asks who I'm picking up. James......then I see James teacher go inside 5 minutes later out comes James with a monster grin.
Hops in the car and away we go.
Mom some kids ate in the cafeteria.
Well where did you eat?
In the cafeteria, butI want the schools lunch!
Really? Well I'll look into that. How was your day?
Good. I have 2 new friends. And a new girlfriend.
Oh boy. That's great.
What did you do after lunch?
So and so was having a hard time listening today. But he was helpful so it was better.
Oh.
I ate all my lunch. But some lady threw my chips away before I was finished. I said hey! I was gonna eat those!
Well make sure if you still want your food to put it back in your lunchbox.
Yeah.

I couldn't get much out of him after that. Just a few things scattered throughout the day. I do know that I heard not a peep from his room as soon as we shut the door. Kindergarten must be tiring.

So helpful

I've got help watering plants and cooking dinner. What more could a girl want?

Halloweenmyface

It's an app. Pretty hilarious!

Nostalgia

We took our baby boy to kindergarten today. Ahhhhhhhhh!
Yes I'm feeling sad about that. I enjoy spending time with him and realize now that 5 years have just blown by.
I am so excited to hear of his first day.
I also made a checklist for him so he would know exactly what to do this morning. He really loves checking things off and making lists. I never had to say go do that, do this. Blah blah. Let's hope he keeps this up! Now little miss wants one too!

Don't go ugh

Lately Scarlett has been waking me up at 3 am asking for cold water. Ice cold water. With ice. Every morning.
When that happens I usually sigh very loudly or growl.
Well last night before bed, I filled up her cup full of ice. She says, I will wake up and have you get me ice cold water. Okay? And don't go ugh.

Don't want to forget.

There are some words my kids say that I don't ever want to forget.
James is five and he calls a blanket I made him, Blanklet. Scarlett does too.
They call adults, radults.
Scarlett has always called French fries, ca-fries. Even after we have explained.
Museum, mu-seum-mum.
Throat-throap.
Thriller, fhiller.

I'll think of more. And update.

Fathers day.

Copied this off my newest obsession. Pinterest.

Free facepainting

At seaworld you have to pay to get your face painted. And then you run the risk of it getting washed away on all the water rides. I say what's the point. Let's do it at home for free. Que the angelic music.
We left it on all day. Trips to target and the grocery store. Even during nap time. Free face paint is way better!

Seaworld

Went to seaworld on Wednesday. What a fun day. We will have to go at least one more time before school starts!

Fun times at breakfast

We love oranges.

Ps. Leaving the restaurant we see a guy get on his motorcycle with his girlfriend. James says "my girlfriend will do that".

James' graduation

Another graduation celebration! James will be heading to kindergarten in August. Wooooo! He's uber excited and so am I!

Happy graduation day bubba!

We loaded up in a 15 Passenger van and it was awesome. Headed out to Big Spring, to see this big guy graduate. He'll be heading to Oklahoma State to play baseball. We are super excited for him.
Loved hanging with the whole family, even aunts, uncles, and cousins from Missouri.

Happy mothers day(late)

These cute little mongrels with Afros. My mom my sister and myself.
