A Little Bit of This and That

Ok, I admit, I cannot stay away any longer...lol! I was trying to wait for some pictures to be developed before I posted. We ordered a memory card for my digital camera and it turned out not to be compatible, so I have had to take all my pictures with a disposable camera. Therefor, some posts will be out of order....I know that the one for CJ's birthday will be late. :( Also a post on CJ's new sport, hockey. Sorry CJ! In the meantime I just wanted to post a few things that have been happening lately.

Last night I asked Miss Kay to put her plate away after dinner and she bowed at the waist and said "Yes, your Highness". Not in a snotty way, just as if she was saying "OK Mom". I had to laugh :)

Drake found a whole box of Cheezits this morning and dumped them out on the carpet. When I got into the room he was backing up (so he could get a running start, something he does while kicking a soccer ball) and running and stomping all over them while laughing. I thought I had my hands full with Kaylee!

CJ got his birthday present, one of those battery powered Jeeps. He has taken both Kay and Drake for a spin. He also proceed to back over his sister by not paying attention. Thankfully, no harm done. Lately he has been very nice to his sister. When picking out his car he had to have one with two seats so that he could drive her around. Then when we were at the grocery store looking at the dollar things he wanted to get her a toy because he has so many and he wanted her to have one that she would really really like. At his kindergarten last week they had a walk for diabetes day and were allowed to wear hats for a donation. He wanted to donate all of his birthday money to the cause. I am glad that we are raising such great kids.....we must be doing something right!


CJ has also become the total little chef. Every week at the grocery store now he goes and picks out a new fillet of fish. My son at six years of age is judging seafood and then he eats it (and likes it :) ). So we have figured out he will either be a pro hockey player or a chef.....both excellent choices.
I hope to have some pictures up for everyone soon!
The positive for today is that CJ starts Spanish class again today. I am so glad that my children are able to learn many different things and try many different things to see what they enjoy.

Happy Birthday CJ and Crandpa!

Happy birthday to my oldest child CJ. I cannot believe that I am the mom of a six year old. He is the brightest, funniest, most caring, silliest, loving, imaginative, wonderful, special little (big) boy in the world. I think that CJ and his dad and I ahve done a lot of growing up together. We have learned many things these past six years and been through many happy and sad times together. CJ had his first school birthday celebration today. He got to share the day with his best friend at school, Curtis. Curtis's birthday is the day after CJ's and since they don't have school tomorrow they both brought in treats today. CJ and I went to Sam's and picked out cupcakes (pirate) for today. Today also happened to e the day of the week that Craig and I go in to help out with his class. So, we got to be there to help him celebrate. Today at his class CJ also had the ticket store which CJ was very excited about. Throughout the month the kids earn tickets for completeing their work and being on good behavior. CJ got an Iron Man activity book and another small toy. To top it all of he won the game of musical chairs and earned another five point ticket :)

After school we all went to the pet store to buy Grandpa (my dad) a fish for his birthday. CJ was born on Grandpa's 50th birthday. I think Grandpa was at the hospital before we even got there that day. We had gotten Grandpa a fish for his birthday a couple of Christmas ago, but it had passed away. Of course CJ picked a green one (green being his favorite color). I think that Granpa was happy with his new friend, so happy he even suggested he would buy CJ one for his birthday so that CJ could be that happy as well. The kids were way acting up at Grandpa's......who knew after feeding them cupcakes that they would be hyper? So, we headed home.

Tomorrow we are taking CJ up to the Mills, which he calls "where the Blues practice" to have some fun in their arcade and play area. Then on Sunday the Mad Scientist is coming for his birthday party. Ever since he saw the TV comercial he could not stop talking about how he wanted a Mad Science party. And what six year old wouldn't be excitged about getting to make his own slime? CJ also invited his class to come, so this is the first year that we will have so many little kids at a party. For this I am glad that we are helping out in CJ's class....we get to know all of his friends and they are all great kids.

I would love to post pictures from today, but I am waiting on a new memory stick for my camera. I will post pictures as soon as possible.


Happy Birthday CJ!!!!!
