Camden is really starting to shine in Art Class. This is a long stretch from his potato head people he used to draw! He likes drawing castles now and designing each one differently! I love the mountains in the background on this one!
We were on our way out the door for church one morning and Camden goes running back in the house. He said, "I have to get the charts for church!" I was thinking what kind of charts, do we really need charts in church, etc. He came running back and said, "Charts make your breath smell good for church!" In his hand was in fact a roll of "Certs." Note: Must teach that boy how to read!
I walked past Camden's bathroom one night and he had a comb stuck in front of his face. I asked him what in the world he was doing. He said, "I'm combing my eyebrows because I want them to look nice too!" Oh my word!
We went to Maddox and Katie's birthday party and we had a blast! Katie had her own cake but I didn't get a picture. They have been best friends forever, well nine years, and they share the same birthday date. Amanda and I decided that we needed to get the party started in the bouncy castle for Princesses.
It was kind of rough on us because, you know, we are not really princesses anymore. More like Queens! Any who, we were not doing all of this sweating and getting static hair for nothing. It was for this little bit...
This little bunny baby was getting some serious attention from all of the kids.
Camden decided to get his face painted at the very end of the party. He told Mimi The Clown that it was a school night and he had to be in bed by 8:30. Way to get her to hustle, Camden! (It was a Saturday night by the way!). He said he wanted scars on his face. We thought he said "Stars".
Mimi said,"This is what you look like when you don't wear your bike helmet!" His reaction to her talented work!
When we got home he wanted more pictures! My baby does so have a sense of humor! He is so full of drama! We had a lovely time as always!
Since our boss was on his annual Ski Trip, we decided that we should have pajama day at work! Scott tried on Amanda's pajamas and they fit him! We laughed until it hurt and then started snapping pictures. I can just see Tim putting on women pajamas. That would never happen! Scott is after all just one of the girls! It was just too funny! Next we all took a little nappy nap!
Stephanie emailed pictures to our boss. He said we were all fired including Scott. He called a little later to make sure that we were appropriately dressed! Of course, we would never come to work dressed that way! What?!? We like to have fun on the job that is for sure! We will do anything for laughs! And why not, life is short!
We topped it all off at the end of the day with some of this from Olive Garden....
Whew, just another tough day at the office! Glad that is over!
This is a coat that Camden wore when he was a baby. He wanted to try it on. He thought it was funny, but I am kind of amazed that it still fits except for the very short sleeves. It is a size 12 months! I didn't know if I wanted to laugh or cry!
Camden was looking out the window one morning and he asked, "Mommy do you like little birds with brown on their belly and some blue on their back?" I told him I was sure that I did like those kinds of birds. He said, "Well then you won't like me very much!" I was guessing that he was going to be hunting those birds in the near future with his BB gun. Oh just why couldn't he pick a more gentle, milder hobby!
Tim told he had a skin tag on his neck. I started looking at his neck and Camden said, "I think you are beautiful just the way you are!" Good thing Camden found that 800 number for skin tags!
I was brushing my hair one night and Camden came in and told me, "You need a Michelle Mercier hair brush. It won't pull out your hair!" Guess where he heard about that? Yep, it is only $19.99!
The Pinewood Derby was held on Saturday and Camden was too excited. Tim went up early to help set up and when he came back he said there were some really awesome cars up there. I was worried about how the "48" car would do. I told Camden to remember that it wasn't about if his car won, but that he had fun. That was all that mattered. He did all of the painting and decorating of his car. Daddy just put the wheels on it. He was more than ready to go!!
The track set up...
The cars resting before the race....wheels up. Wow, they don't do that in Nascar?!?
Needless to say, number "48" did a wonderful job! Camden came in fourth place. His car also won Second Best In Show! They took his car to be put on display with the rest of Best In Show. We will get it back at a later date! He really had the best weekend ever! It all started with the sprinkle of sleet that turned in to lots of ice which he has played with for the past two days. Who knew he liked icicles so much!?!? He also made Honor Roll at school and he did pretty awesome for his first Pinewood Derby! Ok, I am bragging a lot, but you know how it is!
It was supposed to be a SNOW day, but instead all we could manage was a dusting of sleet. School was in session for half a day and when Camden got off the bus he came running. He said, "Look at all of this snow!" He wanted to play and went straight to the back door. I went out to snap a picture of his sleet ball and he asked if he could get on the deck and make a snow angel. Ha! He wanted to know if this was our eight inches of snow that he has been praying for. Well, no, it is not! Winter isn't over yet though. We might just have to go visit some snow! Poor child. He has a sled and everything!!! He just needs some fluffy white stuff and lots of it!!
This has to be every boy's dream. Just look at that concentration! Camden is so excited about the upcoming Boy Scout Derby. He has been working very hard with Daddy to make his car extra special. The Derby will be this weekend so we need to hurry and finish his super fast race car!!
