Dearest Snow......

Dearest Snow,

We've been together now for awhile and things have been good. However, lately it just doesn't feel right. I think we may have grown apart. Don't get me wrong, I really was excited to see you when you first came, I even had butterflies in my stomach. But now the thrill is gone and well, it's just been really mundane with you in my life. You do have a personality that is light and fluffy. However, you can be way to heavy to handle and sometimes grow icy and cold. You have a way of glittering and sparkling, then there's just this dull side of you as well. We've had some good times. Don't worry about the kids, I know they love you, they love to play with you and are totally fascinated with you. But I'll tell them the truth, that it's just time to move on and go our separate ways. I think it's fair that I stay where I am, I've been here before you, so you must leave. You will be fine without us. We will have our memories and that will be nice to cherish.
So now is the time to come out and tell you; I'm breaking up with you!

Sincerely,
Someone who is incompatible and intolerant of Snow.

Bible Talk

Me, while reading last week's scriptures: "Paul, did you know how John the Baptist died?"

Paul: "I don't know."

C-man interjects: "He got his head cut off, and they served it on a plate and people ate it."

Me: "How did you know that?" surprised.

C-man: "Oh, I was looking at the Bible stories at RE and I saw the picture of it and read about it."

Me: "Wow, that totally amazes me that you remembered that." and then I read the passage from the Bible, and the rest of the Gospel.

C-man: "Mom, read more!"

I Love how he hides that he doesn't "get" anything from RE and then blows us away with that type of information........you are a good man, C-man!

When God gives you snow, make a snowman!

Friday afternoon, after we picked up C-man from school, the snow was ideal for snow-man building and that we did. C and I rolled the balls and then out came O to help decorate the snowman.....FINALLY, the right kind of snow to make a snow-man, we've been waiting!

Daddy-Daughter Dance

Her Prince Charming has arrived and she's receiving her FIRST wrist corsage!
"I've found my Prince Charming, his name is Daddy!"

Admiring her corsage

Posing at the Dance!

Dancing Queen! Twirling her dress!

What a fun night for Daddy and Miss-O. They danced, ate finger foods and got their picture taken professionally (like prom!). Miss-O said she felt like a princess last night!

Energy!

C-man and I had a date since Daddy and Miss-O had a date......the little man gave me some flowers......I love his face! (I wonder if he'll be this excited when he goes on his first real date!)
The "Walk of Fame"! After first quarter, C-man and the other kids walked around the basketball court for acknowledging the camp he participated in. Curtis Stinson was one of the players that volunteered his time to teach the kids.

Half-time performance! Kids ages 5-12 doing all kinds of spinning. Spinning while doing somersaults, while doing one handed push-ups, while hula-hooping...we were quite entertained with this group!

We had awesome seats!

The 99th point was just scored with a free-throw....this is how C was during the game...he was WAY into it!

The score! We won and if Energy hits 100, the fans get free whoppers (in a coupon form)

C-man made sure he got one from the cute cheerleader!

C's highlight was the last point, a 3 pointer shot with 3 seconds left on the clock!

I was impressed with the behind the back passes and slam dunks!

Happy 100!

Happy 100 days of First Grade!

Happy 100 days of reading, math, science, recess, music, P.E., art, social studies, lunch, & guidance.

Happy 100 days with friends.

Happy 100 days with a really cool teacher, Mrs. A.
