It's one of those weeks.....

Yea, it's one of those weeks.  Too long, too loud, too busy, too much bickering, too many "Mrs. Ater, you know what" stories, too many bathroom requests, too much talking, too many stuffy noses, too much rushing, too much of mommying other people's kids, too little time getting to mommy my own kids, too little time with my man, and too little chocolate.

But...tomorrow is Thursday and then it's Friday and then it is finally SATURDAY!  Whoo-hoo!!!  The weekend is a'comin'!

Reading Roundup and My Little Cowgirl

 The week before Spring Break, Ladybug had a Kindergarten Reading Roundup and Ho-Down.  I couldn't
make up it to the ho-down (I was giving a test.), but I got someone to cover me so I could go to the reading part.  The kids were too cute, especially mine (I'm not biased...not at all.)

 



My Cowgirl



Love this pic!  Just too funny.  They had to decorate a little cowgirl/boy for outside their classroom.  This was Z's idea.  I didn't realize how much they matched until I uploaded this picture.  I think I'm going to have to come up with something fun to do with "Little Ladybug" when we get her home.  Maybe send her to my sister-in-law in D.C. and have her take her to some landmarks or something.

Reading one of her leveled readers to me.

Mommy and Ladybug

Thought this was a cute idea.  They sat in their chairs backwards. Taped a head to the back and a yarn tail to the seat, so they could ride their horses while they read.  Because as we all know, every cowgirl needs a horse.

Tron Birthday Party Pics as Promised

Party Favors

I made VIP passes on lanyards for each of the boys.
(I altered the pic and changed his name, incase your wondering who Jomans is.) 

  

The Party Goers (J-man is the one posing).  I think he was trying to instruct them to give some type of serious "Tron" Laser Tag Warrior face.

The Birthday Boy

Stay in this kid's good graces...

Too funny.

Happy Birthday, J-man!

10 years ago today.

Today. 
I love this boy!  He's one of the kindest, sweetest, most loving, most curious, smartest, and  most humorous kids in the world.  His Daddy and I thank God everyday for trusting us with him.  His name means Deliverer of Joy...he's more than met that expectation.  We love him to pieces!  Happy Birthday, J-man!!!  Mommy and Daddy are so proud of the big boy you've grown into.

Did I mention he's also one of the goofiest?
