Updates

This weekend we went to Dinoland. It was SOOOO hot and humid and crowded, but we did have a great time! Even AJ was happy snuggled in her backpack carrier. Lil S picked out this dinosaur visor that he wore for about an hour and I haven't seen it since.

Lil S loves cafeteria food! The first few days of school I would send him with his lunch, and he'd come home with a full lunchbox.

"Why didn't you eat your lunch" I asked him

"I did!" he replied.

"How?" I asked him

"The lunch lady fed me."

They have an account system at school and all the kid does is tell the lunch lady his last name and she pays for his lunch out of an account. The first day he had a negative balance because obviously, I had planned on packing his lunch everyday! So now he eats cafeteria food everyday with his friends. It's not that bad, in fact its one less thing I have to do in the morning. AND you wouldn't BELIEVE the amazing food they feed these kids! Here's tomorrow's menu: Chicken Nuggets with a whole grain roll, chicken fried steak on a bun, bean and cheese burrito, sliced turkey sandwich, fresh veggie and cheese plate, black eyed peas, cucumber circles, fresh broccoli, fruit wedges, and chilled pears. That's ONE LUNCH! That's WAY better than any lunch I could ever pack him!!!

Old Home Movie

I was digging through some old pictures of Lil S and found this video from when he was 5 months old. He was already sitting up, which AJ hasn't quite mastered yet and she's almost 6 months old. Excuse the camera tilt halfway through, don't really know what that was all about :)

She's up!

AJ figured out to get it in gear, now she just has to find the gas peddle. Translation: AJ got up on all fours today and is fixin to crawl!

The Screecher

Drumroll please....

This is AJ doing that horrible screeching sound I wrote about earlier. Its terrible, but I've managed to block it out most of the time. Except tonight she was doing it just because she was tired and it was only 6pm so I was trying to keep her up a little longer. Unfortunately she ended up waking Daddy so that was the end of that! Off to bed she went :)

First Day of School

Well we survived! Lil S was not happy having to wake up so early, or about getting dressed, or having his picture taken, or driving to school... But once we got there and into his classroom he was ok with me leaving him. Afterwards a few of us moms got together and had coffee which was WAY therapeutic!

Last night Stephen was eating these Vanilla Cream cookies and AJ was watching him so he gave her one. She took to it like a rabid dog!!!

Open House

Tonight was Open House for Lil S. We got to meet his teacher, Ms. Duhon. She seems nice yet not so nice that Lil S will walk all over her. PERFECT! I love my boy, but he needs a strong hand to guide him. We visited his classroom and found his locker and sorted through all his millions of school supplies. If you haven't been to school in the last 10 years let me tell ya how they do things now! Each student is responsible for a HUGE LIST of school supplies. It's ridiculous! Luckily our school gave us the option of paying the school to buy them for us so they were there waiting for us to sort through. A VERY convenient feature :) There are 17 kids in his class, 10 girls and 7 boys. He doesn't want to admit it but I think he's looking forward to Monday now :)
