Thank you for letting me be myself

Happy Birthday Connie

Connie,
Is it time for cake yet?
Love, Jack and Vivian

What I did on vacation

I spent my vacation painting and I textured the living room.....never ask the guy at Lowe's painting questions. I wish I could take credit for this corner but that has to go to Dave.

found a new setting on the camera
sorry, forgot to rotate the picture before I posted it and don't know how to now.
Then last night I couldn't wait any longer and had to put up the Christmas tree. We are used to having a huge tree but we just don't have the room for it so we downsized, I hope this one can handle all the ornaments.
I also am in the process of doing the bathroom, I have the paint on the walls but I am waiting for Dave to hang the mirror and new light.

New Pics of the kids

A picture of the kids on Saturday morning. In the morning Jack doesn't care what he wears as long as he has a book to read, just be glad he is wearing clothes in this picture. Do you know the names of Snow White's Dwarfs? Dopey, Doc, Bashful, Grumpy, Sneezy, Happy and Tired.....at least in Jack's version.
Vivian is wearing a halter dress with white capri pants and her fur coat to read to her little brother.
In case you didn't really think Vivian was the shortest in her class.

The snowflakes in the Nine West store in Richland Mall.

Lunch at Jefferson

I ate lunch with Vivian at her school today out in the garden, her kids meal came with a game so we decided to play.

Q 1. Who is your best friend? Brandon
Q 2. Who in your family makes you laugh the most? Uncle Brandon
Q 3. What is your favorite thing about everyone in your family?
I like Jack when he gives me hugs. I like Daddy because he buys me candy and ice cream but I don't like when he spanks me, (like he ever does) and I like Mommy when we cuddle.
Q 4. What do your grandparents do?
Granny is a nurse and a chef, Connie teaches and Grandpa stays home and cooks for Connie and does what she tells him to do.

November and in trouble again

I know this will shock all but V has gotten in trouble for talking. She is normally such a quiet child, this is really not like her at all. If you believe the last sentence YOU DON'T KNOW HER AT ALL. I knew this note would come one day and was actually surprised it didn't come sooner.

Things often heard around my house

M- Jack, clean up
J- I'M READING
M- Jack, clean up
J- NO, I'M READING
M- Jack, I said clean up
J- No, I still reading mommy

V-Can I wear a sweater because I always get hot

J-I wanna watch Scooby Dooo

M- Jack, do you need to go potty
J- I coloring
M- Let's go potty
J- I coloring
M- Go potty now
J- I already did, can I have sticker

Week 10

Quotes from Jefferson

1. Mr. Cruz isn't cool but he is a good teacher
2. The lunch-lady stated V never gets in trouble to her knowledge and all the kids spoke up to say, "she used her bad finger like this" with the exception of Hunter, he said she was his bf and she never does anything bad, that's why he likes her. His daddy told him to only be friends with nice girls.
3. Her new bf told me that if you make a rhino mad it will remember your face for 57 days....that's true cause his daddy told him

I have watched the kids play with her on the playground for the last few days and I know why they all want her to play tag with her, she can never catch them because her legs are soooooo short. She's fast and she has spirit but those little legs were not made for tag.
