WOW! What a weekend!!

So we had a crazy weekend, lots of fun! On Saturday we started off our day with Cody's 4th Birthday Party, Happy Birthday Buddy!! I was taking pics with Lisa's camera and forgot to get one of Cody with my camera but I have a cute one to share of Wyatt, Maddy and Bailey playing on a raft. They had such a great time! Thanks for the fun Cody!

Then we went to pick up Gabby and Nicky, the cousins! Last year I helped Gabby with her 10 year project and told Nick that if he had to do it I would help him to. Well you guessed it it was his turn. Basically the project is to show off your 10 years of life. They have to do things like a time line of their lives and World events, 10 favorite things, 10 adj., Baby pic, Hero pic, and some other fun stuff. Here's the trick nothing can be handwritten. Thankfully I borrowed the Cricut and the Disney Font Cartridge from Holly and Lisa and we were off! It turned out great! We had a lot of computer research and lots of printing. That brings me to my next...got a new printer a HP Photosmart C5280 All-in-one and it is AWESOME!!! I can't believe the pictures it prints!! So here is Nick with his project.

While I had the whole crew, Uncle Shawn/Daddy decided to make Smores, INSIDE the house. I guess it's a good thing we have a gas stove! They loved it. So of course I had to get a pic of that, duh! Gabby loves smores!

And last but not least... we had a major event happen in our house this weekend. My son decided he wanted to give a hair cut to himself. Yep you read right. Neither one of my kids have ever cut anyone's hair or their own hair. (OK Maddy cut out a rubber band in Lidia's hair cuz it was stuck, but she was trying to help) This was a complete shock! He was helping Nick cut out some things for his project and pretty quick he says... "Mom my hair is falling out" I quickly turned around and said "what are you talking about?" Just then I see the scissors in his hands a little smirk on his face and hair falling off his head. I totally flipped out! I was so mad!! PICTURE DAY IS TOMORROW!!! I said couldn't you have waited til after that?? So once the shock wore off I laughed my butt off!! Needless to say we went to Great Clips to see if they could do something, not really he cut it all the way to the scalp...cuz "mommy it feels like a rats tail". So for his Kindergarten pic he will have a little buzz in front oh and a fat lip. No I didn't give it to him!!! He and Nick were jumping on the trampoline and he hit Nick's shoulder with his mouth and split his lip. Gotta say this will make for a great Scrap Layout! Sometimes you just have to LAUGH!! Told ya crazy weekend! Have a great Monday.

As promised this is what my kids thought about the first day of school...Wyatt says it's totally fun, I have lots of friends, we played all day and I have no homework. Maddy says I have homework on the first day of school, I don't like it! Then she informs me that she'll never have homework on Fridays! I told her that's a bonus!!! She just gave me a dirty look as she was doing her homework. It's incredible how much gets shoved into our kids brains at such an early age!! She did like seeing all of her friends though. We have such a great school and all the kids are awesome! So short blog for now, not feeling all that great...got a cold. YUCK Have a Happy Friday!!

First Day of School

Today was my kiddos first day back to school. They were very excited. Maddy is going into 4th grade and Wyatt is starting Kindergarten...WAHOO!!!! Anyhoot Maddy couldn't wait to meet her new classmates, they got 5 new kids this year in her class, very exciting! Wyatt just couldn't wait to go for everything! He is already so familiar with the school because he has been going there with me and Maddy for the past 4 years but this time he got to stay and mommy got to leave! I didn't even cry! So I will give an update when they get home. What are you favorite school memories? Mine was hanging out with my friends. Where ever we were we had a great time! Most of my great memories were in High School especially my Senior Year. Being Mascot and doing Baseball Stats was soooo much fun!! I even used my Mascot uniform at my cousins wedding. It was FABULOUS!! Her wedding was at The Firehouse in Old Sac and at the reception while everyone was dancing here comes this big ol Eagle. It was hysterical!
