Fun Fun Fun Fun Kids....

These past couple of days the kids have been a lot of fun. Don't get me wrong, they are still a hand full and fight like crazy, but they have been equally fun. Some of the things they have done this week are worth documenting...

Wednesday morning, I was in my closet getting dressed for work and Cameron walked in.

Cameron: What you doing mom?

Me: Getting dressed so I can take you and Gracie to school and then go to work.

Cameron: Why?

Me: Because I have to wear clothes so people don't see my business.

Cameron: Because why mommy?

Me: If I don't put my pants on, people are going to see my chones (undies) and my business.

Cameron: Can I spank your business mommy?

Yes, I fell down to the floor laughing. I really have no idea what he was thinking when he said but he said it.

This morning, Dad took Gracie to school to partake in the Rogers Breakfast with Dad so Cameron & I loaded up alone. Cameron has been carrying this racing teddy key chain Kenny bought me years ago. This is our conversation from today.

Cameron: Mommy, where his fiend?

Me: Whose friend Cameron?

Cameron: My little bear.

Me: I don't know Cameron, I'm sure he's at home or somewhere.

Cameron (talking to his bear): It's ok little bear, we buy you a fiend at Target.

Cameron: Mommy, can we buy him fiend at Target?

Me (wiping the tears from my eyes): Yes Cameron, we can buy him a friend at Target.

Cameron: Yay, tank you mommy!

Tonight...both kids requested Daddy tuck them in. As we are rounding up the kids for bed, both Kenny & I look over towards the refrigerator and Gracie is drinking milk from the jug! I am shocked! Gracie has never done anything like this. We asked her what she was doing and she said, "I just needed a drink".

Love love love love my kids.

I had no idea what had happened today until Kenny got home. He asked if I had watched the news and heard about what happened at Ft. Hood. It's surreal. After watching a little of news, I am thankful for my wonderful husband, children, family & friends.

Happy Halloween!

It was an extremely busy week. We had lots of things to do before Halloween! Thursday night, we made cupcakes for Cameron's class. Getting two kids to work together is nearly impossible. They fought the entire time and made a huge mess. I think the only time Cameron was not saying "Mom, Gracie not sharing with me" was when he was licking the bowl, spoon or bowl. Stayed up way to late decorating the cupcakes and finishing his costume.
Friday morning was NOT a good morning. I won't go into all of the details other than we were running late, Gracie lost her first top tooth, it was raining, Gracie and I fell down while running into the school and got wet, had to go home to change clothes and then arrived tardy! Whew, I was glad when the morning was over...When I picked Gracie up after school, Ms. Fowler, her teacher, told me Gracie had to visit the nurse because she was having trouble eating her cookie at snack time. She said she looked over and Gracie had these huge alligator tears rolling down her cheeks. My heart broke into a million pieces. Saturday morning, Gracie came downstairs to show us what the tooth fairy left her, $5 and a mini muskateer Barbie. Her other top tooth is hanging, barely, but she refuses to let us pull it out. It has been drama with this tooth all weekend! In her defense though, she is afraid the kids will tease her about not having any front teeth. Kids are mean! I think for now, we'll let the tooth be.
After arriving late to work I turned around and left early. After the crazy morning we had it was nice to have fun with a bunch of little kids.

My little scarecrow! I have been going to Bent Tree for 4 years to celebrate Halloween, I was really sad my Gracie was no longer there.
