Camden has been praying so hard for snow for the past few months. He really wanted eight inches of it! His prayer on the night before was: "Lord just give us whatever you can, or we will take maybe two feet of snow!" On Saturday afternoon his prayer was answered! It snowed like crazy but never stayed on the ground. No matter, he had the time of his life. He didn't get to wear his snow boots last year because we didn't see a snow flake all year. When it started snowing I grabbed his boots and we discovered they were two sizes too small! Oh well, that wasn't going to stop him! He played for a few hours and rode his bike around the yard. We even took his new sled out, but it wasn't going to be useful we soon realized. Then Daddy and Camden went out that night to ride four wheelers and got stuck in a ditch!
It certainly wasn't a blizzard but Camden didn't mind at all. He only knew that snow was falling from the sky. It was a beautiful sight! Also, I got this little happy book in the mail! Makes my heart smile!
Happy Valentine's Day to everyone! We are so excited about this big day. I got a gift for each of my three favorite boys! I hope they like their little surprises!
Camden put his Valentine's cards together for his classmates today. We didn't get too crafty this year, just some Pixy Stix. He thought that he was going to make cards for everyone in his class. I had to set him straight and let him know that we had these handy little cards all ready made from Target! Ha! So precious that he even wrote one to me!
Of course, I made some yummy goodness to help us get ready for "Love Day"!
Camden insisted on making us a special treat one night for dessert. Yes, that is Pop Tarts with ice cream on top and some Cheerios and M&Ms for good measure! It was so sweet for him to come up with this on his own. He has taken an interest in the kitchen and has even started writing our family cookbook! One of his recipes for pancakes and bacon in case you want to try: Ster relly good. Leave the pancakes on for 30 sen. Put the baycan in for 3:30. He also wrote a recipe for Choclate & Vnillu cake. Big Smile!
Camden let me know on Friday morning..."I'm about to have a record Mommy, wearing my old socks for a whole week!" Don't know what to say about that!
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!
