First day of school.

Actually this is the night before. Miss Josie B climbed in bed with Cameron. It was a cute moment til I ruined it with my camera! Way to go Mom. I left soon after.

Hannah and Brittany getting fluffed before heading to their first day of HIGH SCHOOL!!! I know I have had a Freshman for officially one week but it still strikes me as weird. I thought every step along the academic trail was big. But when you send your kid off to their first day of high school you really realize how fast they are growing!


OK this is after school. I didn't get any before cause there was allot of traffic and I just dropped the girls off and went with the flow. When I went to pick her up I was 15 minutes early and I sat in the parking lot. It really hit me then that this school is HUGE. The windows turned into flashing red eyes and the front door had huge teeth and made gnashing sounds. It took everything in me not to storm in there and demand my child back because last time I checked she was only 5 and I needed to put her back into Kindergarten!!

But I promise you I kept all that irrational panic inside! Except for a text or two to Ali and Naomi ;)
In this picture Hannah is looking at her hand and I will tell you why.


She fell. Oh yeah right about where she is standing now. I had my camera out to take pictures of them and she saw me and started running towards me. And she tripped and she fell HARD. But this is where I got to see a glimpse of a pretty rockin' kid. She bounced up and laughed. And kept on laughing. I know she was embarrassed but I know at 14 I would of died!! I would demand I never go back again. But she laughed and teased herself. We talked about if anyone brought it up she was going to tell them it was a part of her Secret Agent training! It didn't get her down. She is so excited about her new school and she has already made friends and relationships with her new teachers. She inspires me.

I just couldn't get far back enough to get the school building. This will have to do for now!

The next morning all three of them were going back to their schools. They each have their own school. Which is really weird to me. Really I didn't plan things out very well cause these schools are nowhere near each other. But we will get through.
The best one at 6 AM of Miss Josie B!
And Mr Cameron who is in afternoon classes now so he is actually well rested. His first day didn't go well. New schedule, new classrooms, and new teachers. That is hard for any kiddo. As I type this he got through his first week like a champ and this week I know he will be a pro at it!

He was so excited he ran to the van and climbed in and tried to buckle himself in. Now he rides the bus.

Cameron also started therapy last week. I hope to get pictures soon of him with his new therapists. And of his new teachers! It was a bit of a whirlwind last week and I did what I could.
I am sorry it took me so long to get back unto the blog train. If anything I did leave you with some perfect pictures of my Baby Bro!!

Adorability Factor

Bigger is Better!!

I have to share this blog with you really quick cause after it is posted my sister Kelly will most likely put a hit out on me!! Thank Buddha she is in Illinois cause as far as I know Guido doesn't travel out of the states!! lol

Oh yeah bay-bay who in this picture is representing some serious Aqua Net love!?!?! 1990 and I just don't think I could of gotten it any bigger!!! I tell you what I think today's teenage girls are just lazy! They don't have the dedication like we did back in the day!! And yes you are looking at bright blue eyeshadow, bright blue eyeliner and bright blue mascara all at once!! How does one go about bringing styles back!?!


OK it is just to easy to make fun of the styles of the late 80's early 90's so I will just stop now. BTW my daughters were not int he least bit amused with this picture. More along the lines of confused. Why in the world would I go out in public looking like this!?!

Prisoners in our own home!

More on that in a minute! First I shall share a few pics from here and there. Here is Cameron and Daddy with new Disney wall murals. 4 huge color pages for $1.40 at Target!! Good heavens I get a rush from those pretty red clearance stickers!!

Cameron and Money's new Play-Doh friend. I had swirled Play-Doh to make kind of like cinnamon bun shaped circles and he stacked them and added the accessories :)

Making a cake for Money!

Now we are on to the aforementioned crisis!! Someone was hypnotized by pretty red stickers and found some killer bargains for a cute little man. This particular toy was $1.50. Attach to the end of a hose and 'voila!!' you have insta-fun. I was finishing dinner and Hannah was with him but she came inside to get something. Next thing I hear is 'Cameron stop!'.
Yep these are all through the window.



The face of Eeeee-vil!

Come on guys I promise not to spray you!!

Thank goodness for Jason's military training! We sent him out with the first wave of troops. He is the only one who made it!

Poor birds.
I also got him 'Lucky Ducks' for $4.00!! Seriously a big ole bag of new toys and I think we spent $10.00. What a good day!


Later that night Hannah, Josie and I went to the Midnight Party for the release of 'Breaking Dawn' by Stephanie Meyer at Books-a-Million. We went with my friend Ali and her daughter. I didn't take my camera but Hannah had her face done as a vampire so we of course took a pic when we got home!

Just some simple stuff to report here from S.C.!! Jason leaves bright and early in the A.M. for school in Florida. He will be gone 6 weeks. Not to long and I always feel a bit of comfort knowing he is just stateside!
Also in case some of you don't know Cameron calls me 'Money' not Mommy. It took him over 3 years to come up with that so I love it!!
