Where Did The Snow Go?

Camden drew this little red bird in his Art class. Isn't it so pretty everyone, except Amanda? So, we have been wondering what happened to the snow? We have our snowmen sitting out and snowflakes, but nothing. Is it too late to do a snow dance? Sigh.

Shop Till You Drop

Camden and I decided to stop by The Children's Place the other night. He went crazy shopping like I couldn't believe! I had no idea that he was a professional shopper. He started picking out shorts, sun glasses, flip flops and on and on. All of the pants he picked out he said he needed to try on. After his third trip to the dressing room, I told him that I would be waiting on him out in the store. I kept watching for him to come out. Finally I saw him following a sales clerk and he tapped her on the back. She turned around and I saw her point to me. Here he came furiously rushing at me. He said, "There you are, "Miss Hides From All The Children!" Oh my! He needs an Academy Award!

The best part of Camden's shopping spree was that we spent so much money they gave us a free stuffed bunny! Yes, this mama is so proud!!! On another fashion note....I have had the hardest time this winter getting Camden to wear his coat. He refused to wear it when I picked him up after school yesterday. He yelled at me, "I can't wear this coat, it makes me look fat!! I look like I gained a hundred pounds!!"  I see an Oscar in his future! Yes!

Puppy Bowl 2012

Camden and Bentley watched the Puppy Bowl and then we ate some fabulous Nachos! Yum! Of course, we had to top that off with some Reese's Peanut Buttercup Cookies! We saw some cute little puppies and it made us wish we had one....well maybe not!!

So Proud

Daddy has been very busy winning awards for all of his hard work and dedication! We are very proud of him! Daddy, we know how hard you work and you will always be number one to us with or without awards! Just hurry up and come home!! We miss you and we love you!!

It is a long standing tradition in our family to take turns letting one person pick where we will go out to dinner on Friday nights. Camden told me last night, "Mommy I will pick where we eat tonight and then Daddy can pick where we eat tomorrow night!" I said, "Camden, Daddy isn't here!" He said, "Well, Daddy can pick where he wants to eat and then we will go eat something for him!" Um, OK, sounds like a plan! Ha!

100 Days Of School

Today is the 100th day of school. Camden and I had to decorate this hat with 100 things for his school project. We chose to decorate with 100 stickers! I am glad we made it to day 100, but it feels like 1,000 days to me!!

Camden told me, "Hey Mommy, did you know that a girl with a black cape walks over the playground and we can't play outside on Ground Hog Day or we will be cursed." Someone is just a tiny bit confused about Ground Hogs. Nevertheless, we made it to day 100 of school and that is saying a lot! Can I get two thumbs up?

Ground Hog Day

It's Ground Hog Day!! What have we been doing you ask? We have just been hanging out and waiting for some snow? Susie says it won't snow because of the Global Warming in Alaska! But, us naysayers beg to differ! We will keep waiting for that one little flake to fall from the sky. Maybe the old Ground Hog will tell us!

Camden asked me if babies are born with abs? I asked him if he knew what abs were and he did. Later he wanted to know if babies were born with clothes on. Then he asked when he would be old enough to get a key to our house.  I don't know where these questions are coming from? 

I have been busy working on Daddy's To Do List for when he comes home. Right now it is a mile long! That's all from us, hope you have the very best Ground Hog Day!

For The Birds

My dear work friend, Amanda, has a bird fetish. She absolutely hates birds and is scared to death of them. She celebrates when they accidentally fly into our windows at work. She detests their beady little eyes and thinks they are worthless creatures that just fly randomly around and might on a slight chance happen to fly into her.

The poor little red bird above, with the letter opener sticking out of it's back, has been going back and forth between us for several weeks. I hide it somewhere around or in Amanda's desk and when she would find it she hid it in my area. It all started when Amanda stuck a feather in my purse and I didn't find it until I got home one night. So, I naturally texted her to let her know that this meant WAR.

After the bird passed back and forth between us a few times, you can imagine my horror when the little bird was secretly tucked in her desk drawer and she opened the drawer and saw him and stabbed him right in the back.  I just don't know what to say about that! Now she has her kill proudly stuck in the handle of her cabinet drawers for all to see. I am afraid to carry our little game any further because it could very well send her rage over the edge.

I don't know if she needs therapy at this point, but she does also have a strong aversion to midgets, clowns and anything with feathers. Bless her little heart! I don't know how anyone could hate a cute little birdie!!
