Doctor??

Jamie walked out wearing a scrubs top. Gavin asked, “Daddy, are you a doctor?” Jamie said he was. I said, “Of course he’s a doctor, what did you think he was?” Gavin: “A Zookeeper.”

Grace

Sweet Angel.  Actually I call her my Angel of Darkness.  Drives her crazy   She is adorable.  She loves people.  All people.  She takes after her daddy.  She makes friends instantly.  She loves food.  Like her momma.  She is slow to learn her ABC’s and site words…but she’s great at math.  And she still likes to line things up.  She is very sensitive.   She’s a hard worker.  She’s a daisy girl scout but attends brownie meetings since the other daisy troops meet while she is in cheer practice.  She’s in cheer and dance and loves it.  She likes to read and doesn’t get frustrated that she can’t do it well.  Gracie dances to beat of her own drum…always thinking outside the box.  Love her.

Lucy

2nd grade already.

Her teachers seem to really love her. 

She struggles with math and reading.  But excels in so many other areas.  She’s a very athletic little girl. 

I was sick Sat, Sun and Mon.  And she went to Isabel’s for a birthday slumber party Saturday.  Sunday she came into my room and just started crying because she didn’t get to spend much time with me over the weekend.  So I let her crawl into my germ infested bed and we held each other all night.  Before school Monday, I said that I just wish my tummy felt better.  So she ran to the bathroom and came back with a tums.  Cherry.  My favorite. 

She is a tender-hearted little momma. 

I told Lucy today that she was the best helper and with the biggest smile on her face she said, “Mrs. Lawhead says that I’m the best helper, too.” 

I can’t believe Lucy is 8 years old.  Such a big girl.  Halfway to her drivers license and only 10 more years until she leaves home.  I know they will go much faster than the first 8 years…so it really makes me sad.

Lincoln

Lincoln said, “Mommy, when we go to heaven, will you carry me?”

Of course I will!

Cute Quotes from Today.

I wish I would blog quotes every single day because there are so many cute ones every day.

Gavin:  “God, Thank you for lucy and grace cuz they are my best friends.  and Lincoln and Vaughn cuz they are my best friends.  And Daddy cuz he is my best friend.”

Lucy:  “God thank you for a really good day today.  But please don’t let the fire alarms go off all day tomorrow.”

Grace:  “I love my whole family.  When they die, I die.”  Me: Grace, don’t talk about dying.  Gavin:  Yeah!  Talk about heaven.

Vaughn:  I’m going poop very quiet so I don’t wake anyone up.

Gracie’s “Teacher Visit”

Last night we found out that Gracie’s Kindergarten Teacher would be Mrs. Schnedler.  We are so excited because Lucy had Mrs. Schnedler and LOVED her. 

Tonight Mrs. Schedler came for a home visit.  Gracie got to show off her line-making and pattern-making skills. 

I was telling Mrs. Schnedler about Grace and explaining that Grace gets embarrassed VERY easily if she’s called on in class.  Grace said, “Yeah, and cry.”  So cute. 

Gracie really liked her.  She’s ready for Kindergarten.

First Day of Second Grade

Today was the only first day of second grade Lucy will ever know.  It was definitely a memorable one!  As Jamie was walking her into school, about 15 feet before they got to the doors the fire alarm went off.  Apparently dust set off a fire alarm. 

And then it happened again today at lunch. 

When I asked her what she learned – she said she didn’t really have time to learn anything because they kept having fire drills.

She had been hoping all summer to get Mrs. Lawhead for a teacher.  At back to school night last night she found out that Mrs. Lawhead was her teacher and she was so excited.  She had several folders waiting for her on her desk – one for every subject.  She had an official textbook on her desk waiting for her.  It was so cute.  Just like I remember school. 

Why is my heart aching?

Uncle Bob

Found out tonight that Uncle Bob will have heart surgery on Monday.

Zumba

Jamie forced me to go to Zumba today.  Been exhausted and not feeling well.  Glad I went.  Felt good.  I got home Lucy got me a towel to dry off all my sweat and my pajamas.   What a sweetie

Happy Golden (Star) Birthday Sebastian :)
