Written with Poop

I was driving G to school this morning. She was jamming out to her latest fave "So Far Away" by Staind. We stopped next to a car at a red light with a message written on the window in shoe polish. My little smarty pants says, "Look mommy, they wrote with bird poop!".

Funny Girl

The other morning G woke up before I went to get her. I heard her fumbling down the stairs. She sat at the bottom with her arms folded and her bottom lip out. She said, "Oh Barnacles, Mommy, you got up and left me in the bed all by myself". "Oh tarter sauce" is often used in place of "Oh Barnacles". We love Spongebob.

This morning, G was listening to "Feliz Navidad" for the ump-teenth time on You Tube while I was catching my show on the DVR. She asked me, "Mom, what are you watching?". "Grey's Anatomy", I told her. "I'm Grace" she said.

Thankful

Thank You
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why
I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey,
but your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad,
it's not so bad
I want to thank you
for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you
is having the best day of my life

The best days of my life are the days my family is together. Even the days way back when we were growing up with mom, I have so many memories of those days. We always took time to make memories. Those days are scattered now since we are all in different cities. Maybe that's why I love those days so much and look forward to them. We always take time for pictures when we are together. It seems to make those days last a little longer for us.

I am thankful for so much. I'm thankful for friends who know how to save me from a bad day and realize I need something just by the look on my face or the sound of my voice. I am thankful for a stable job and the people there I can count on. I am thankful for my family who can drive me insane but also would drive to the ends of the earth for me. I am thankful for my health and the health of my family. I am thankful for the new addition in our family this year, Baby Jack. I am thankful for Grace and the gift I have been given of being her mommy. She brings me more smiles and joy than anyone or anything. I can't imagine life without her smile and her humor.

Scooby Dooby Doooooo!!!!!!

Halloween was so much fun this year! G was a hit in her Daphne from Scooby Doo costume. She actually wore the wig and loved it :-)

It's Fall Ya'll

On October 22nd, G's 3K class went to the X Maze for a Hayride, Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze. We had a blast :-) I love G's school. They never fail to do something special for the kids during holidays and special times.

Labor Day Weekend

This might have been our last hoo-rah by the pool this summer so we decided to do it up right with some music, dancing and really good food as always :-)

Return of the Jack

Sweet Baby Jack and my sis came back for another visit before she goes back to work. It was so nice to have them here for a few more days for no other reason than just to be here.
