Cub Scouts Pinewood Derby Winner

Spencer was the 2nd place winner at the Cub Scouts Pinewood Derby recently. You would have thought he won an Academy Award. He was SO excited.

He accepted his trophy with a big THANK YOU....



And posed for pictures.


An exciting end to the morning.


Considering Dad had to do most of the work....he was pretty pleased too. The look on Spencer's face was worth every minute. One of those moments of pure joy!

Our Little George Washington

Spencer had a school project to research a famous American. He also had to dress up like his character and present it at school. He was George Washington and a very cute one too! Unfortunately I didn't get to be there but thanks to his grandparents he was represented and spoiled and loved. Thanks to Pop for the pictures.

My handsome boy looking somewhat colonial....



George and Abe.....good friends


With his best pal at school who was Jackie Robinson. Great Job Guys!


It was a full day and quite an exciting weekend. The next morning was the Cub Scout Pinewood Derby. I'll share some pictures on that next time. His car was fast so he had a blast!

Adios!

Fun Friday Photos

Lauren picked her own outfit recently. I'm not sure what look she was going for but she chose a Hannah Montana purse, bedroom slippers, a shawl and pink skirt and shirt.




Of course there's chapstick inside the purse. Every princess needs soft lips, right.




Here's my little Cub Scout getting ready. So proud of his badges and beads.




These two had a great Valentines day this year. Since I was trying to avoid SO much candy and junk, I went for practical items. They loved them. Lauren finally got a girly booster seat for the car and Spencer got a scooter. Even the cat had to check out the scene.













Have a great weekend. TGIF!!
Love,

SNOW in Alabama

It happens only about once a year or less but yesterday we had a beautiful, snowy day. The kids had a blast playing outside. Problem is we just really aren't prepared for this kind of weather. We had to bundle in layers and change their gloves often but they didn't mind. Their little red faces tell a different story.










It all melted with the afternoon sun and this morning only traces can be seen. It leaves as fast as it comes in. But, the timing couldn't have been better since it was the weekend. Later this week 70's are expected. Crazy southern weather.
Enjoy your Monday.

Friday Funnies

Why We Love Children

1) NUDITY
I was driving with my three young children one warm summer evening when a woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She was stark naked! As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my 5-year-old shout from the back seat, 'Mom, that lady isn't wearing a seat belt!'

2) OPINIONS
On the first day of school, a first-grader handed his teacher a note from his mother. The note read, 'The opinions expressed by this child are not necessarily those of his parents.'

3) POLICE
It was the end of the day when I parked my police van in front of the station. As I gathered my equipment, my K-9 partner, Jake, was barking, and I saw a little boy staring in at me. 'Is that a dog you got back there?' he asked.
'It sure is,' I replied. Puzzled, the boy looked at me and then towards the back of the van. Finally he said, 'What'd he do?'

4) ELDERLY
While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly shut-ins, I used to take my 4-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds. She was unfailingly intrigued by the various appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers and wheelchairs. One day I found her staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself for the inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered, 'The tooth fairy will never believe this!'

5) SCHOOL
A little girl had just finished her first week of school. 'I'm just wasting my time,' she said to her mother. 'I can't read, I can't write, and they won't let me talk!'

6) BIBLE
A little boy opened the big family Bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages. 'Mama, look what I found,' the boy called out...
'What have you got there, dear?' With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered, 'I think it's Adam's underwear!'

I can't end without a few pictures.

Rock On Dude


Spence and Sissy. Check out that scowl. Guess he really didn't want to get out! ha.

A Blast From The Past

I just love looking back at pictures of my children but oh how I miss them being little. Here's a blast from the past.












What sweet babies they were (and still are) though they don't appreciate mom calling them babies so much anymore. But the sleepless nights, crying, diapers, and bottles are all behind us. We've moved on to school projects, matching outfits, cub scouts and ballet so these are good times too. And time moves on....

Happy Monday.
Love,
Heather
