A Visit

We had a very special visit from someone furry recently. Camden  has been begging for a cat, so it was our good fortune that the neighborhood cat stopped by to see him. He can't wait for Bentley to kick the bucket so we can get our own cat. He loves cats more than dogs apparently. But for now, we will just love on other people's cats! He even gave him some of Bentley's food! You can just feel the love!

 

Fortune Teller

Remember this little game that you played in elementary school? Camden showed me this one afternoon and I was so surprised. I had completely forgotten about this game. He made me choose the colors and numbers for the rest of the evening. My fortune was always the same....Going to be rich and famous! Hmmm.

Every morning I make Camden's breakfast then I disappear to finish getting ready for work. He has taken up the habit of leaving his unfinished breakfast sitting on the counter along with a little note from him... "These grits are too salty" "You said we were running late so I didn't have time to finish eating."  He is awesome in the excuse department and provides tons of entertainment for my otherwise boring life! Ha!

Party Like A Princess

We gave Stephanie a Princess Party for her birthday because she is our little princess. We all wore our colorful hair extensions and of course we coordinated sparkly jeans because we can!

 She got some really cool gifts!

 So true.....

 A very special birthday cake by Virginia. It has some marshmallow filling, brown sugar icing, sweet potato cake layers and candied pecans on top. What more could you ask for. It was heavenly.

 We didn't get a whole lot of work done that day but we had a great time. We laughed so hard and acted crazy all day. That's what birthdays are for! So when you have to work on your birthday celebration day you make the most of it! 

Things

Camden likes to build Dominos and he is actually very good at designing them. It keeps him busy for hours. This is good for him since we have been experiencing some cold weather and not able to play outside on the weekends.

 Tim won this five pounds of summer sausage at work. I really don't know why they would call it "Yard-O-Beef", it's more like a tree trunk of beef. Oh well, it will take us at least a year to eat it! I need to Google some recipes for summer sausage!  Ha!

So Yummy

This is just some yummy cupcakes from the weekend. They are Hot Chocolate cupcakes and yes that is marshmallow icing on top. You would not believe how great they are until one of them melts in your mouth. So, run out to Walmart right now and get a box. It is Betty Crocker Hot Chocolate cupcake mix. Truly unbelievable and even Camden liked them!  You can thank me later!

Camden asked Daddy and me if we had any skin tags. We told him that we were not aware of any. He said, "Well if you do and you are keeping it a secret from me, then you can call this 800 number. They have something that will take care of them!" Oh, please let him stop watching commercials. I am starting to get a complex!

Camden told us that his New Year's Resolution was to sleep until 7:00 on Saturdays. Well, that didn't happen this past Saturday. I will keep my fingers crossed that he will stick to his Resolution! I really would like to sleep past 6 on Saturday mornings. I mean really, I don't even get up that early for work! 

This And That

On Camden's first day back at school after his Christmas break, the morning announcement stated that it would be a full and busy week. Camden asked Daddy if that meant he would have to go to school on Saturday and Sunday too. Ha Ha.

Camden likes to watch TV in the mornings. He is always finding infomercials and work out shows. I came walking in the kitchen one morning and he was writing down a phone number from TV. He said, "There you go Mommy, you always say you are fat, so here is a work out video that you can order!" Wow, Thanks!!

Last night he was in the kitchen writing down a phone number as fast as he could. He told me it was for an "endless pool". I asked him what that was and he said, "It's for relaxation and lots of fun!" Sounds like something we might need! Ha!  

Happy New Year

Yes we did rock in the New Year with some Twister! Camden won of course. We only made it until 11:00 and it was lights out. We were just too tired to watch a ball drop! In the mean time we got a little crazy with some Connect Four.

Then it was time for some grape juice bubbly and a toast.

Today we celebrated with some traditional New Year's Day food. Those greens just aren't that yummy, but we should have a ton of money this year! Ha!
