Pictures

Looks like someone got a hold of my camera again. I found this while downloading pictures. I am sure this happened while I was in the shower the other night. There were also some not so flattering pictures of the dog. So maybe it is time to skip showers all together and just start doing sponge baths! Sure, why not!

Camden asked me, "Is there a Baby Fairy that comes and takes away all of your baby stuff and gives you big boy stuff?" I asked him what the Fairy was going to take and he said, "Bear." Oh my, are we ready for Bear to leave our family?

Camden told me, "Mommy I can make my head spin around and around!"  Now I thought I was the only one that could do that!! Please hurry up and come home Daddy!!

Tattoos

Camden just loves tattoos. These tattoos were fine for him to play with and I thought they came off pretty easily. I, however, was somewhat alarmed when we got home from church the other day and he had these tattoos up and down the sides of his body and his arms. I sure hope he didn't show them off at church! Oh my! I would find out at bath time that these tattoos do not come off at ALL, they have to wear off. We have scrubbed with everything you can think of and almost a week later he is still sporting some very fine ink! He told me that the one on his side means "God".

Last night the phone rang and Camden wanted to get it. I saw that it was the school calling with their weekly update on PTA meetings, book sales, etc, so I told him to answer it. He stood there listening for several moments. Finally I told him to hang up. He said, "I am not hanging up! I will get thrown out of school for good if I hang up on my Principal!" I told him it wasn't really his principal on the phone, it was a recorded message from her! He said, "Well it sure does sound just like her!"

Hart Braker

I don't want to forget the notes from Camden. Recently Camden got into some serious trouble for running thru a parking lot. When we got home I made him go to his room. Then the notes started coming. He always slides notes out from under his door to me. Usually he writes that I am mean or he doesn't love me and the notes always have math problems on the inside. I can understand him trying to express his feelings in the only way he knows how to, but I am slightly confused by the math problems. Maybe it helps to tamp down his anger! He has been doing this for about two years! Just something else for the memory bank! Ha!

Camden's prayer the other night:"Lord please bless the people with only one leg and bless all the people with zero legs!" When he was finished I just looked at him. He said, "What, it could happen!"

Happy Valentine's Day

I hope everyone has a very special Valentine's Day!! Ours will not be too grand because Daddy isn't here to celebrate it with us! But for the day to be just a teeny bit awesome, I ran out and bought myself the new Breaking Dawn DVD. It put a smile in my heart!

Daddy did call us this morning to wish us a Happy Day! And he sent these...Big Smile!

Craft Time

Last week our sweet boss went on his Annual Ski Trip, so us girls decided to get busy with some craft time! We made these adorable hearts to hang on our front doors.

First you cut out a heart from burlap.

Then you paint and decorate.

It helps if you act silly while painting!!

And here is the fabulous finished project! So cute and very easy to make. I love craft time at work (Note: this project took several days to make because we only worked on it during breaks!)

Another PSA

This is another Public Service Announcement. While Emily and Madeline were visiting with us we found out something we didn't know. If you see a dried up earthworm and then pour some water on it, the little earthworm will come back to life!! Who knew? Amazing! Kids, you can try this at home!

And now a PSA from Camden: "Did you know that every time you eat your dessert before you eat your vegetables, a fairy dies?"

Camden came to find me one morning and he was combing his hair. He pulled some of his hair up in the comb and asked, "Does this kind of look like a bumble bee color?"

He asked the other day, "Mommy do you think I should be in a band?" Why, sure I do!!! "What should I call the band, Shiny Money or Mouth on Fire?" My child so sweet, so innocent!

Crazy

Camden told me one morning that his eye was hurting. He looked at me with one eye closed and told me that he needed Laser Eye surgery and there was a doctor he saw on TV that could do it. (Supervise children and TV at all times!)

One night at dinner Camden grabbed his chest and had a look of pain on his face. He told me, "Mommy some food is stuck in my heart!" My friend Stephanie would have flipped out at this point! I, however, remained calm and told him to drink his milk. He asked, "Doesn't food get stuck in your heart before it goes in your stomach?" Not unless you are eating a Krispy Kreme donut!! Ha! I have explained the digestive process to this child at least 100 times and he still doesn't get it. 

The other night Camden said that he didn't like school because it was boring. I then gave the lecture of how important school is and if he didn't get a good education he would end up working at McDonald's. Camden said, "I would rather work at Wendy's!" Get ready Craig, Camden is on his way to Hamburger University!

Also, Camden and I sang "Smelly Cat" this morning while eating breakfast! So fun!
