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! 

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!!
