Not Me Monday

 

Holy Canoly! I can’t believe it’s Monday and almost September! Seriously did I just write that word September? Time flies(it never fails to amaze me like that) and once again it’s time for Not Me Monday where you get to air all your dirty laundry and well my family knows I’ve got a ton of that!

I did not keep PJ home from school today because he may or may not have chicken pox. I mean if I had kept him home surely I would know exactly what is going on! He’s not acting grand and playing the video game! And of  course if I was going to keep him home it wouldn’t have been on picture day (cause geez they can’t have that already) and the first day for his AGP classes! Nope I wouldn’t have him miss all that for a few spots!

I’ve not been way behind in blogging because of this whole back to school schedule! I’m not excited that I’m going to start carpooling with a friend for Curly’s mid-day pick up soon! That won’t help out at all! I’m also not contemplating an afternoon bus ride for my Sissy & PJ, nope why would a stay at home mom put her kids on the bus? Poor PJ didn’t get a ton of homework sent home with his sister for him, while all his sister had to do was read (her favorite thing  in the whole world).

And speaking of Sissy, in case you don’t remember her hamster died a few weeks ago (and she only had it a few weeks), well our sweet dog Lily, DID NOT dig up the hamsters grave this week! Sissy was not upset and mad one tiny bit when she saw the hole and the shredded box and bag!  Sissy has not decided she wants a guinea pig instead of a hamster, since they are harder to kill and all!  We’ve not read that they should have a friend, which means we’d need  a bigger cage and more food, I’m not thinking twice about these guinea pigs!

And on a final note, my camera did not die this week after I dropped it in the water! It has not come back to life as I was hoping. I’ve not been wanting to check if my memory card  still has the pictures on it We don’t luckily have another digital camera, so I’m not totally without! 

Happy NMM and though MckMama isn’t doing NMM today, I’m now off to read her latest news before I make some dinner!

What Happened to Monday?

Does anybody know what happened to Monday? Where did it go? Oh right it was filled with laughter and screams and chaos, I remember now! Another day in the life of us! Of course today is a new day all together as it’s the day school starts!

But lets get back to yesterday…….

My Curly is just barely curly anymore as he got his hair chopped, a bit shorter than I really wanted it! And he met his teachers on Monday for his very first school experience. Oh how I wish I was blogging when my others started, I’m sure I’d have more info recorded. But anyways, Curly managed to find the one action figure type guy in the classroom. He didn’t care about building blocks, hermit crabs or his name on the wall, nope he was excited they had a cool ‘power ranger’ ! He showed one of his new teacher’s the cool toy and came home and told his Daddy about it! When asked by the teacher if he knew how to spell his name he promptly said ‘NO’.  So glad we worked on that! So I’m sure he’s going to love his new playroom, I mean classroom! And I’m going to love dropping off two kids at 8, then another at 9, picking him back up at 12 and the other two at 2:15 and trying to squeeze in a nap for Baby Boy somewhere in between! 

So back to Monday……. I love those little dots…………… I decided the kids needed one last fun thing to do before going back to school! So I was going to take them to the beach on the bay that is 20 minutes away! So we got ready, finally got going and headed over. PJ was being miserable complaining that he’d rather go to the pool! But Sissy really was excited to go to the beach! So we pull up all excited that it’s not crowded at all, until we notice the big huge signs that say “Swimming Area Closed”! Ugh, so I reach into my purse to call someone to try and figure the next closest beach, no phone, I went off and left it at home! So I decided I’d just go where I knew, so off we went another 40 minutes through traffic and all! Finally we arrived! The kids had a blast, even PJ, I took a ton of pictures and we were getting ready to leave when Baby Boy decided to wiggle out of my hand into the 2 inch deep water, so naturally I reached down for him! And bam, my camera slipped of my wrist and into the water! At that point I pretty sure I cursed, I mean wouldn’t you? So then I did my best not to get frustrated with the kids and we trudged through the sand, stroller and all (I’m sure people were laughing at us) and back to the car that was thankfully ticket free and stuck our sandy bums in the seat and came home! I’ll stop there cause I’m sure your eyes are getting tired, but let’s just say my day didn’t end there! And geez I can’t even show you my pictures!

Anybody know if there is any hope for my camera? I still have the box and haven’t had it a year yet.  Anybody?

A Walk Down Memory Lane

Come for a walk with me down Memory Lane!
And if you have a "Memory Lane" post, head on over to Scottsville to join in on the fun! 

 

Well I decided that I’d do one more week of little Sissy and then move on to PJ! So this week I’ve got pictures of Sissy when she was in ballet and tap and a picture of her on her 4th birthday! In case you can’t tell she seems to be thinking she was the most special princess in the world!  And of course she was and still is to her Daddy and me!   In case you didn’t know she is completely Daddy’s girl, but we’ve actually become closer as she’s gotten older so that is one plus to the whole growing up thing!

 

  

This is Sissy holding her rose afterward!

Don’t you love the HUGE bow on her head! She still has this outfit and still fits in it (it was baggy then, tight now)!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry this is so grainy, but I figured I didn’t need to blur anyone out because of it! She is the second from the left! See how they are all doing different things =)!

 

 

Ah, and here is Princess Sissy on her 4th birthday looking at Bitty Baby’s book of course! And thanks to a trip to the doll hospital (literally) she still has Bitty Baby!

Thanks for stopping by, go visit the other Erica for more Walks down Memory Lane!

Not Me Monday

  

 

 

 

 

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

I am not so lazy that I grabbed MckMama’s premade intro!

I was not late to a birthday party on Saturday and late to church on Sunday, not me (I know everyone I know is LOL right?)!

I then did not precede to ‘get on’ to my hubby today when he was running  late to take PJ to his friend’s party today!

Uh, that’s right we didn’t have two parties this weekend and you wouldn’t already know about how I climbed through the bounce house tunnels and slides if you followed me on twitter!

I’ve not actually been uploading some new things over at my other blog that you need to go check out!  You shouldn’t look around and click on some buttons over there and tell me what else you’d like to see!

We did not have a bunch of easy meals this week, like grilled cheese and fries and totino’s pizza. Not a chance because I love to cook big huge exotic meals that my family won’t touch!

And I’m not going to put some strange photo on here, that isn’t even of my kids because I’m weird like that!  When noticing the horseshoe prints on our nearby sidewalk, I wasn’t slightly surprised enough to take a picture (since the camera wasn’t already around my neck )!  Please don’t notice my chipped toe nail polish!
