Photo Shoots

These pics are from a photo shoot that we did a few years ago in the Fall. There were a few tears shed that day but overall it went smoothly and I got some great shots. This year is going to be a hot mess trying to get Christmas pics without Daddy to help. It is hard enough to get Camden to cooperate but throw in a big Dog and I've got extra trouble! I already have Camden's clothes picked out for Christmas pics and I tried desperately to get him to do a shoot last Sunday while it was nice outside. He said, "We can't make Christmas pictures until it snows!! I am not interested!" I so hate to tell him that it usually doesn't snow until January around here! Oh well, we will see how it goes. I will have to be very patient!

Fall Decorating

Here are some of our decorations for the Fall season. We haven't done much decorating without Daddy, but we needed to get into the spirit of the season!

 Camden told me the other night that he wished Daddy was here so they could eat a deer. I asked him what he meant by that. He said, "You know, we could go out in the woods and shoot a deer and eat it!" Oh yes, of course, he wants to be a hunter now! Hurry home Daddy!!

Getting Twisted

This is what happens at our house on a cold, rainy Friday night. Camden decided to play Twister and thought that Mommy should join him. I told him that wasn't going to happen, but I would be happy to spin the dial for him. He lasted a few rounds and then this happened:

A few days ago we were at the grocery store and Camden took off with the cart. I was busy picking out bread and looked down the aisle for him. There he was looking back over his shoulder saying, "Come on Mommy, run. You can do it!" I took off after him and passed a man that told me I had better get to stepping. I said "Thanks a lot!" to the stranger man and finally caught up to Camden. I guess he really is trying to whip me into shape, but jogging thru a grocery store or playing Twister is not my idea of a work out! Ha.

I turned our clocks Saturday night for Daylight Savings Time. Thank goodness the next morning when I thought I had slept until 9:00 and was late making breakfast for Camden, I got on Skype with Daddy and he pointed out to me that I had turned the clock forward instead of back! Daddy saved the day!! 

If You Build It

We spent last Saturday building a castle. Camden became very proficient in his engineering skills.

He even made a castle that had a train driving thru it. He likes to build things and be creative.

This morning Camden climbed into bed with me at 5:00. He said "Mommy, if you look at your ceiling fan, it looks like a chipmunk flying a helicopter!" You know, I just wasn't feeling that at 5:00 in the morning. Instead of trying to see a chipmunk all I really wanted to see was the back of my eyelids!

No Soup For You

Since it finally turned cold this past weekend enough to want some warm soup, I put this Hamburger Noodle soup together. It has some vegetables and Au Jus Mix in it. However, Camden just couldn't eat it. He told me that the smell made his nose hurt!

So, then it was on to Plan B which was the ever fabulous Taco Soup! We love this stuff, but unfortunately Camden couldn't eat this either. He used to love this! Oh well, don't know what we are going to do with him. He doesn't know what he is missing!!! Poor baby, I can't even talk about all the great food we will have at Thanksgiving. He still thinks that he is allergic to Stuffing!

Some Camden

Elton John perhaps? We are busy just moving right along with life and everything else. Now all we need is to throw in some Holiday stress and Mommy will be well on her way to some rehab! Ha. This morning we were running late and I came running out of the bedroom and told Camden to get his coat on. He said, "Don't judge me! I already have my coat on!"

The other night Camden had another bad dream about the longest RV in the world. I told him that there wasn't anything bad about that. He said that he was trapped inside of it and that was almost as scary as his dream about the burping Giraffe. Maybe we should get these crazy dreams interpreted!

Speaking of crazy...in the back of Camden's Agenda Book for school there is a page about your family. He wrote beside Father: (Air Forc Gon). That would make sense to me. But beside of Mother he wrote: (Crase). Did he mean Mommy is crazy? Don't know what to say about that.

One day on the play ground a little girl told Camden that he didn't know who he was messing with. He told her, "No, you don't know who you are messing with. I've got the Army on my side!" He told her!!

Finally, leaving the day care one day, Camden asked me if he could pick me a sunflower. He proceeded to bend down and pick a ragweed. Yeah for Mommy! I am so allergic to those.  And we wonder why Mommy is Crase!!!

All Work and Little Play

For now Camden is excited about raking leaves, just like he did with Daddy! We will see how long that excitement will last since we don't really have that many leaves at this time! Ha! He asked me if he could go outside and rake.

 However he did manage to have time to find a four leaf clover! I think it was more like a weed, but who cares. He was so excited to find a weed with four leaves!

 Tennis anyone?

Just for the record, Halloween was a bust last night. Camden only went to the houses of people that he knew. I guess if I was seven years old I wouldn't want to go to a strangers house either. Besides, it was cold and rainy and the wind was blowing. Not an indication of a good time coming!
