I'm Back!!!

Wow!! I can't believe I haven't posted on my blog since the end of March. It isn't for the lack of things to share. During the time I've been "away" the boys celebrated their 5th birthday, we visited Disney World, finished t-ball (yippee), the boys graduated from pre-school, and we visited the Chattanooga Choo-choo. I am quite certain that their have been other events as well, but these were the highlights. I will post a small amount about these events to catch everyone up, and then hopefully I will be better about blogging this summer!!

The fun has begun!!!

Well, Monday night was the Muckdogs t-ball opening game and boy was it fun (or funny I should say!!) and COLD. I wasn't sure Mason was going to make it to play in a game because practices were a bit rough, but he did and I'm glad. He really loves sports!! Nathan likes t-ball and is very compliant (as with anything), but I wouldn't say he loves or even likes sports!!! They both hit the ball good and thought they hit home runs because they were the last two batters so they were able to run the bases!! The funniest story of the night was when Mason was put at the catcher position. He got down on his knees and I could hear him saying "Strike One"... He thought he was the umpire!! I was laughing so hard. I am very excited that the weekend of the boys birthday my family will all be here for the big 5 YEAR celebration and get to see the boys play a game. Always a new adventure!!

Best Party Ever

"That was the best party ever" was all my boys could say after going to a friends party last weekend. It was a Bama football party. The parents painted a field in the backyard and built a goalpost. Big Al even came!! It really was a great party. Now the boys are full speed ahead planning their 6th birthday. The 5th is already planned!! They want one JUST LIKE JAY'S. We'll see what the next year holds!!

Nursery Rhyme Day

Last week at school we had Nursery Rhyme Day at school. Mason went dressed as the spider from Little Miss Muffet, Nathan was Baa, Baa Black Sheep, and I was a bee!!! A bee, you ask??? Rather than asking my parents to come up with a costume for their child I decided to use it as a teaching opportunity. Thru the course of the week my students learned a new nursery rhyme about a swarm of bees and yes, we were the swarm!! They enjoyed making their costumes and reciting their rhyme for the younger children. It was a fun day!!

Snow Day!!

Well, it FINALLY snowed here in Alabama!! It has been years since we have seen any of the white stuff. Now here me, we didn't get much, but it was enough to play in and sled a little. It was funny because as the kids went down the hills the snow would disappear so they had to keep moving spots and yards. The whole street was out!! It was a lot of fun, and it has been a fun, lazy afternoon as well. I just sent David to the store to get the stuff to make chili tonight. What a great day to just stay at home!!!

You Just Never Know!!

The other day when I went to get the boys up for school this is how I found them. Nathan had fallen asleep before Mason (as usual) and Mason decided to sleep with Nathan. He just crawled right in and that is where he stayed all night!! I thought it was so cute I just had to grab my camera before waking them up!!

A New Adventure

At the beginning of the month I signed on to be a product demonstrator for a company called Uppercase Living, and I am SO EXCITED!!! The company sells decorative expressions for your home. The pictures I've posted are from my house. The "W" was a Christmas gift from Stan and Darby and the other two I purchased for myself. For such a small cost your rooms look like they have details that look like they have been handpainted (which would cost a lot!!). I have never had the desire to sell anything, but I am in love with this stuff and I hope many of you will fall in love too. If you are interested in seeing a catalog just let me know!!
