All about kids again

After being there today for C's gymnastics and going back tomorrow for Av's gymnastics we were there tonight too. Av had a school event there. It was super fun and she had a great time playing with her friends. I say it all the time but I'm so thankful that she is soooo well liked!!! She was very excited to see a few of her friends. Anyway they have a rope swing the drops into a foam block pit. Super fun. Both C and Av do it all the time. Last night though the small metal part of the swing that you kind of sit on came back and got Av in the eye. I didn't even know it happened until she came up to me to thank me for bring her there. I noticed a small cut above her eye. I asked what happened thinking it happened at school. She told me and it was pretty much then that she broke down. It hurt. Her eye was starting to swell up. So we went and got ice and sat for a bit. She was crying and saying she wanted to go home. Kind of like she did at the roller skating event. I knew she was hurt but she was sitting on my lap calmly and the other 2 were having fun. We paid to get them all in there and I didn't want to teach Av we just leave like that. She was mad and cried for a bit. I just told her we could sit there as long as she wanted and we would leave soon but not yet. I know she was tired and I know it was a long day for her but when she is the one that insists we go to events like that, then when we get there we stay. I am proud of her bc she did finally decided she wanted to go have more fun and that's just what she did. Later we noticed though that a big chunk of her eye lashes were gone. Poor thing. My heart still breaks over that, really must have hurt. She is tough!!

funny Camille

We are kind of bad about locking our back door. I know, I know I don't to hear it. I will try to do better. It is always locked when J is gone though. All day and all night. I read way too many horror books in my younger days and have visions of some scary man knowing J is gone and coming in the house in the day and hiding in the basement until we are asleep and then getting us. Anyways, we were coming home tonight and the door was lock. J said "the door is locked." I went on to tell him my fear but not in a scary way bc the kids were right there. When we got in the first thing C did was go to the basement door, open it and yell, "HELLO, HELLO." She then turned to us and said, "there's nobody down there" and then just walked away. It was said in her cute, sweet little voice. hehehehe I really hadn't put any stake in the fact they were even listening to us. Guess she was at least. She is something else.

We also went to a play place today. She was running around playing. She went up to J and said, "I am wetting (her version of sweating). Too funny.

C's new song

Camille came home singing a new song the other night.

please and thank you

please and thank you

sound so nice

manners are portant (important)

She can be soooo bad but she's soooo cute too.

big progress

C used to be sooooo scared of people dressed up in stuff. Like the mascot at the baseball field or the cow at Chick fil A. We could not even go to dinner at Chick fil A without C sitting hiding in my lap the whole time. When we went places that had people dressed up we would just watch her until she noticed them and we very much enjoyed seeing the reaction on her face. It was priceless. I loved the horror that came over her. hehehe yes its mean but that little girl has been terrorizing me for years so I take my pleasures where I can get them. Tonight we went to Chick fil A and she wanted to see the cow so badly she couldn't wait for him to come to our table. She left our table and went to him and gave him a big hug all by herself. Darn it, now I will have to figure out another way to torment her.

pink applesauce

He likes his pink applesauce. Yes it is a mess but it buys me some time. Haven't yet decided if it's worth it or not yet.

old man

The other day I went in to wake E from his nap and this is what I found. An old man stretched out in his bed with a big belly hanging out and a mouth wide open. Looks like he had had some fun throwing stuff out of his bed before falling asleep. Notice the 3 pacis lined up on the floor and the 2 socks.

100th day of school

Av came home soooo happy yesterday. It was her 100th day of school. She must have had the best day. She had a home made 100th day of school crown on her head and a bag of treats. They got to pick 10 pieces of 1o different treats. She had popcorn, cheese popcorn, goldfish, mini marshmallows, mini choc chips, some sort of cereal and a few other yummy stuff. She was very nice and shared with her brother and sister as soon as she got off the bus. She also had a bag of gummy bears. They had to count out 100 and then color the bears on the paper the same colors as the bears they had. They did that as a group. She told me tomorrow "is groundhogs day" and also "tomorrow we are going to use our left over snacks and take some away." She sure is happy and learning a lot!!!
