Swim Team

Swim team has started for the summer. We are at the pool most every day practicing and learning new strokes. Our first swim meet was a lot of fun and everyone liked getting ribbons.

Build a Bear

Cami's Daisy troop decided to go to Build a Bear for their end of the year party. They really did a good job keeping the kids entertained and the all got to pick their own color bear and make them with love.

Cassi Donates Her Hair.

Before

Getting ready to cut.

The deed is done!

All styled up. How beautiful!

At first she wasn't sure what to think of short hair, now she loves it.

Bridging Up

Cassi and her troop are now officially Junior Girl Scouts. They had their bridging ceremony at the beautiful Ocotillo Golf Course where they were able to walk over an actual bridge to bridge from Brownies to Juniors. The girls had a great time.

Eddie Izzard - Cake or Death?

Things I love...Cake or Death. I love Eddie Izzard. Hilarity at it's best.

The Bangs are Back!! (praise the lord)

As you may or may not be aware, much to my chagrin, Cami was trying to grow out her bangs. She came to me this morning and said she couldn't stand it anymore and didn't like the hair in her eyes. (angels sing 'hallelujah'!) So I ran, yes RAN to get my scissors. Now we can see that cute little face again.

Question for the Tooth Fairy

"Dear Tooth Fairy,

I lost my tooth and think it is in my stomach. Will you still give me a dollar for my tooth?

Love, Calvin"

"Dear Calvin,

My tooth alarm went off in the middle of the night last night to let me know that you lost a tooth. I do believe that you swallowed it. Thank you for the note explaining what happened. I ham happy to pay you a dollar for your tooth. Don't feel bad. A lot of kids swallow their teeth.

Keep brushing your beautiful teeth.

Love, The Tooth Fairy"

That's what happens when you don't take up your mom's offer to remove (not pull) the very loose tooth from your mouth.

Keurig Coffee Heaven

A couple people I know have these awesome little coffee machines. We are pretty much weekend coffee warriors. We don't have the time to make the coffee during the week and when we do make coffee on the weekend, we don't even go through a whole pot. So I decided to get one of these single cup brewers which I think will be perfect for us.

The machine came with lots of different coffees, tea and hot chocolate to sample. It can also just brew hot water for soup or noodles. Yum

"Meat Pie"

No words needed.  A picture is worth it all.

Meaty, cheesy, goodness.

Queen for a day

The kids had a Mother's Day tea at school for all the Moms. It was fun. They made us crowns. Calvin said we could "command" them when we are wearing our crowns. Hmmm...I may not take mine off.

OUCH!!!

As all kids will do, Cami hurt her finger. This isn't a very good picture but her little ring finger was smashed while playing with pool table balls. At first it was flat as a pancake, then it swelled up like a grape. It sure did hurt. 

What would we do without Teachers?

Teacher appreciation. The kids are sooo happy and proud to bring gifts to their teachers for teacher appreciation week. Thanks to Deb for the inspiration.
