Date night

Spencer is at a friend's sleepover party and Hailey had a last minute invitation to spend the night at Grama's house.   Trent didn't feel like going to a movie, so that gave me an excuse to take out my favorite eight year old boy for a night at the cinema.  We saw Madagascar 3, he liked it - I am still partial to the first one - but the movie really didn't matter to me as much as who was sitting next to me.

Cat scratch fever

I tell her all the time if she gets right in Dickens' face and bothers him, he will let her know it bothers him.  Of course it happens on the day of soccer pictures.

You might be a redneck if...

You throw your son's bike and your son in the back of your truck and drive home.

Number eight is super great!

That is the cheer that I used to try to get Hailey fired up for soccer. She ran around the field, but she isn't very motivated to get to the ball. This may be her last soccer season. She has fun out there with her friends, but if she is not that into it should we continue to pursue it? I don't know - she is only five, she could grow more into it. It just seems these days that you have to get your kids into their sports so early or they don't stand a chance later on. Something just seems wrong with that.

Cuppa Joe

I started drinking coffee in the morning. I thought maybe the caffeine in the coffee would help me cut out my pop habit. So far it hasn't .

Tin Grin

Spencer had his braces put on this morning. He was actually more excited about it than anything else. He looks so cute and old!
