Life has settled down a little this week...The boys started upward basketball last night. Robby had the fun job of trying to "coach" 10 5/6 year old boys. Mary Taylor and I watched for a little while and it was fun!! I can't imagine what a game is going to be like.

On another note...we took our new kitten to the vet today to have her "surgery". Mary Taylor cried bucket tears all the way to school worrying about Tiger Lily!! I tried to explain to her why she had to have the operation without too much detail but I'm sure the entire K-4 class will get a "play by play" of the surgery.

Hope everyone has a great day!!!

Karate belt testing

The boys had a wild birthday with all their school friends last weekend. It was complete with jumping lots of pizza and two different cakes. We went with a Transformer and Pirate theme this year. They are really two completely different children. The sweaty faces in these pictures say it all....we had a great time. I can't believe they are six years old!!!
And the birthday was complete with a cool tent from Aunt Kelly!!

MTs patriotic play!!

The week before school got out for Thanksgiving, we had MT's play at school. Each class dressed up like a character(George Washington, ABe Lincoln, Statue of Liberty, etc...) and they sang patriotic songs.

Lots of Posts Lots of Pictures

Today we spent the day with MT for her special snack day. They are studying the letter J so we had a Happy Birthday Party for Jesus complete with cupcakes and apple juice. Grandaddy showed them how to read the word Jesus and taught them how special it was. Grandmama read a book about the true meaning of Christmas. What a special day!!!

LOTS OF CATCHING UP TO DO:

I have lost my camera cord...so I'm going to SAMS today and get my pictures put on CDs...and then I will post the thousands of things that we have done lately.

We have had:
1-MTs play
2-Karate belt testing(we are now yellow belts)
3-Thanksgiving feast
4-Family day at daddy's work
5-lots of fun football!!!(GO REBELS)
6-Daddy's new cabin in the woods(This mom has mixed feelings but after I saw it yesterday I got really excited)

We are going to have a great week at home....we went to see daddy's new cabin yesterday and today I'm going to finish up Christmas shopping(minus the Toy shopping I'll do on Friday) We will have a low key day on Thursday and make the trip to Oxford Friday. Some in my house will be happy and others will be unhappy(let's just leave it at that..you never can predict the Egg Bowl..and I don't want to jinx it...but with a Bulldog husband and a Rebel for a wife and children who are mostly Rebels...it makes for exciting times!!!

And the best part is Saturday MY BOYS WILL BE SIX YEARS OLD!!!! I stand in awe as I watch the young men that they are becoming. I know how special they are and as I sat in church Sunday praising God for all my gifts I just cried and looked at them..They are what Thanksgiving is about.

THANK YOU GOD FOR MY BEAUTIFUL BOYS!!! I WILL POST MORE ON THEIR BIRTHDAY!!!

We have been really active lately..and I'm behind on my postings. I'm going to catch up right now!!

1st I'm thankful for the privilege to stay home with my children. There is no greater honor than this and I don't thank God enough for this blessing....

2nd I'm thankful for my precious family...As I picked the boys up from school today(MT had to stay late for kindertots)I sat and talked to them while we waited and just listened to every word they said and just looked in their beautiful faces and remembered how luck I am to have them

3rd I'm thankful for a mom and dad who live around the corner...I take that for granted too often
