MUFFINS WITH MOM

THIS WAS MUFFINS WITH MOM DAY AT SCHOOL AND THE BOYS HAD SO MUCH FUN SHOWING ME THEIR "JOBS". I WAS BY MYSELF SO I HAD TO SPLIT MY TIME BETWEEN THEIR CLASSES, BUT THEY WORKED IT OUT ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL. THEY TOLD ME TO GO TO AUSTIN'S CLASS FIRST, THEN TO AIDEN'S AND THEN WE ALL ENDED UP TOGETHER IN AIDEN'S CLASS FOR MUFFINS:)! THEY WERE SO FUNNY AND CUTE. I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THEM AND HOW FAR THEY HAVE COME IN JUST A FEW SHORT MONTHS WITH THEIR MATH AND READING SKILLS. I WISH THEY WOULD SLOW DOWN A BIT. THEY ARE PRETTY GOOD AT SPEAKING SPANISH TOO, WELL VERY GOOD COMPARED TO ME:)! THEY CAN COUNT TO 20, THEY KNOW ALL THEIR COLORS AND THEY KNOW A LOT MORE THAT I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE SAYING:)!

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD FUN!

THE BOYS HAVE BEEN HELPING ME ORGANIZE ALL THE OCC STUFF TO FILL THE SHOE BOXES WITH AND AS YOU CAN SEE THEY WERE VERY GOOD HELPERS! JAX WANTED TO HELP, SO I LET HIM PUT THE SOAP IN BAGGIES WITH A WASH CLOTH AND AIDEN BAGGED ALL THE CANDY. AUSTIN WAS TO BUSY OUTSIDE, SO HE MISSED OUT AGAIN!

THE NEXT PICTURE IS MY HALLWAY LINED WITH OCC CARTONS. OUR CHURCH IS A DROP OFF LOCATION THIS YEAR FOR THE SHOE BOXES AND I AM THE COORDINATOR, SO I HAVE ALL THE SUPPLIES. AS YOU ALL KNOW WE LIVE IN A SINGLE WIDE TRAILER, SO I HAVE NO ROOM FOR ANYTHING, BUT WE MADE DO. YOU CAN SEE WE ALREADY HAVE 2 OF THE CARTONS FULL! I JUST LOVE THIS MINISTRY, SO HAVING ALL OF THIS AND BEING INVOLVED EVEN MORE THIS YEAR JUST MAKES MY HEART SMILE! I PRAY MY BOYS ALWAYS LOVE THIS AS MUCH AS I DO AND ALWAYS WANT TO HELP OTHERS. IT IS NOT TOO LATE FOR YOUR FAMILY TO FILL A SHOE BOX. JUST VISIT THEIR WEBSITE HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION: WWW.SAMARITANSPURSE.ORG/OCC

UPDATES COMING......

I CANNOT GET MY PICTURES TO UPLOAD HERE AT THE LAKE AND I HAVE A LOT TO CATCH UP ON.

WE HAVE BEEN BUSY GETTING READY FOR OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD. THE BOYS HAVE ALL BEEN HELPING ME ORGANIZE EVERYTHING SO THEY CAN START PACKING BOXES TOMORROW AT CHURCH. JAX EVEN GOT IN ON THE FUN THIS YEAR AND HELPED ME PUT THE SOAP AND WASH CLOTHS IN BAGGIES.

WE HAD MUFFINS WITH MOM DAY AT SCHOOL LAST WEEK AND THE BOYS GOT TO SHOW ME SOME OF THEIR JOBS AND I WAS SO PROUD OF THEM BOTH. AUSTIN SURPRISED ME WHEN I SAT DOWN WITH HIM TO DO ONE OF HIS JOBS. HE HAD TO GO GET HIS MATH BOOK AND THEN HE STARTED DOING ALL THESE ADDING PROBLEMS AND MS. SHELLIE CAME UP TO ME AND SAID IT WAS LIKE A LIGHT BULB WENT OFF ON HIM LAST WEEK AND HE JUST STARTED DOING MATH AND HIS LANGUAGE JOBS LIKE A BIG BOY! I THOUGHT ABOUT IT LATER THAT DAY AND IT DAWNED ON ME THAT I HAD A HEART TO HEART WITH HIM ONE DAY ABOUT GETTING READY FOR KINDERGARDEN AND HE GOT SO EXCITED ABOUT LEARNING:)! LITTLE TERD, HE IS SMART WHEN HE WANTS TO BE!

AIDEN DID SOME OF HIS MATH JOBS FOR ME TOO AND HE IS IN HIS EARLY STAGES OF LEARNING TO READ. HE HAS ALWAYS LOVED TO LEARN BUT MRS. MARCIA DID TELL ME HE WAS IN TO SOCIALIZING MORE THIS YEAR:)! HE HAS THREE GIRLFRIENDS AND TOLD ME HE WAS GOING TO MARRY LAUREN THE OTHER DAY. I TOLD HIM HE BETTER NOT BE KISSING ALL THOSE GIRLS:)!

JAX IS DOING GREAT A GETTING TO BE A BIG BOY HIMSELF. THE BOYS ARE ALREADY EXCITED ABOUT CHIRSTMAS THIS YEAR AND EVERYTIME THEY SEE SOMETHING THEY WANT THE TELL ME. WELL, JAX HAS CAUGHT ON. THE OTHER DAY A COMMERCIAL CAME ON WITH THIS TOY AND HE SAYS, "I WANT THAT." I ABOUT DIED. HE NOW TELLS ME HAS TO PEE PEE AND SOMETIMES HE WILL GO IN THE POTTY AND OTHERS HE WILL JUST PLAY, SO I THINK HE WILL BE READY SOON. HE LIKES TODO WHATEVER THEY DO, SO MAYBE THAT WILL HELP!

WE HAVE HAD A RELAXING DAY AT THE LAKE AND WILL BE BUSY TOMORROW WITH CHURCH AND FEEDING THE HOMELESS,BUT I HOPE TO BE CAUGHT BACK UP SOON!!

TRICK OR TREAT!

THE BOYS HAD A BALL TRICK OR TREATING THIS YEAR AND JAX CAUGHT ON REAL QUICK:)! THEY DID ONE ROW OF MOTORHOMES AT TALLEDEGA FILLED THEIR BUCKETS UP AND THEY WERE DONE. AIDEN SAID, " THAT WAS THE BEST NIGHT EVER!". THEY WERE READY TO GO BACK AND TAKE THEIR COSTUMES OFF AND EAT THEIR CANDY. IT WAS SO FUNNY!

HE WAS NOT HAPPY UNTIL........

HE FOUND OUT YOU GOT CANDY:)! JAX WOULD NOT WHERE IS HAT FOR NOTHING AND WAS UPSET AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE TOP PICTURES,BUT AS SOON AS HE GOT CANDY HE WAS HAPPY! HE GOT INTO THE TRICK OR TREATING OR SHOULD I SAY, EATING:)! EVERY TIME HE GOT SOMETHING HE WOULD START EATING IT,PAPER AND ALL! SILLY BOY, BUT HE WAS CUTE IN HIS LITTLE MONSTER OUTFIT!!

WE WENT TO TALLEDEGA SATURDAY FOR THE TRUCK RACE AND TO DO SOME TRICK OR TREATING WITH GI GI AND PAW PAW. THEY HAD THE MOTOR HOME IN THE INFIELD SO THE BOYS HAD A BALL WATCHING THE CARS QUALIFY AND THEN THEY SAT ON TOP OF THE MOTOR HOME TO WATCH THE TRUCK RACE. THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE BIG BOYS AND THEN OF COURSE WE WATCHED THE AUBURN GAME AND DID SOME TRICK OR TREATING!!
