A letter makes all the difference

As I said before we were practicing for school. One of the things we did was practice spelling words when we would drive around town. Today Josh decided to do some by himself. I asked him what he was spelling he said, "S-E-X! That's how you spell six." I quickly and calmly explained it was not an "E" but an "I". A letter makes all the difference!

A Zooful of pictures

We Went to the Zoo with our friends Zoe and Elizabeth. We had a GREAT time! They have two great play areas.

Josh looking through the "Tel-a-slope". Josh's own words.

Play area number one.

Play area number two.

UGHHHH!!!

Okay, so today after we picked up Josh from school I tried to put Holly down for a nap. She was not a happy camper. She wanted Josh to be in there for the nap. I decided that once he started school no more naps during the week. Well, I left her to cry for a bit and filmed Josh talking about his first day at school. I started to show him the recording and decided to let him finish it while I calmed Holly down. 12 minutes later I came out. In that time Josh recorded several nothing videos, changed the setting to Chinese and DELETED ALL MY PHOTOS. Now who's fault is this. I blame the mother 99 percent. She should not have left the camera. But now all of Christmas gone! Trip to Texas, gone! Fourth of July, gone! Swimming, gone! First day of school, gone! Pictures from preschool, gone! And who knows what else. Why had I not download sooner!!! I. AM. DISTRAUGHT!

The recap

Here is the recap of Josh's kinda first day of school. The kids are going in small groups this week and only one day. This is the second take the first one was deleted.

First Day of School-No Kisses, Just tears!

Notice No picture-reason in a few blogs.
Today was Josh's kinda first day of school. There were only five kids in his class. On Monday it will be the real deal. Josh was so excited. I took a picture outside of his classroom and we went on in. He just went on in the assistant teacher showed him where to put his backpack and lunchbox and sign in while Mrs. T talked to me. I was kinda sad to see him go. I called bye Josh love you. He just waved. I teared up, I didn't ball but there were a tear or two. The teacher gave me a tissue. As we (Holly and I) were walking down the hall, to go to our car, she kept rubbing her eyes. I asked her if she was alright and she turned to cling to my leg and cried "Joshie!". It was such a sweet moment.

Shake it!

Usually when there is music on Holly loves to sway with the music. Her favorite move is shaking her booty. Of course once the camera was on she was shy, but her brother was not!

Proud of myself

I know it isn't really good to brag about being cheap, but I am! Sometimes I just get excited about these things.


When going to baby showers I always want to get something cute and fun, but my budget doesn't tend to allow that. I thought I would have to get my friend Crystal diapers (there is nothing wrong with that) because it would be the thing I could afford. I went to Wal Mart and saw these cute little dresses for $3 dollars each, except the pink on was a buck. I thought it would be so cute if I made little bows for her baby girl to go with the dresses. I went over to the fabric area in Wal Mart and got some ribbon you can buy off the spool so each cost me like 30 cents. I added pink and white pok-a-dot ribbon to the pink dress where it and its ruffle meet and added a little bow on the chest area. (Hard to see here wish I took a closer picture). So while I watched a movie last night I made and tacked bows then stapled them to an index card and hung it on the hanger. $12 dollars and a little time and I was pretty proud of my gift. Not only that for the most part they are not all pink. Yeah!
