Boy, How things change!

I decided tonight after having dinner with Shon's dad that I needed a little break so I've been looking for a bathing suit and thought I would go to Kmart and Belk's just to take a look. Well, of course ladies you know just how difficult bathing suit shopping is... 1- hard to find the right look and 2- for me, well, I'm CHEAP. Well, I took off sending the kids home with Shon (we had met there). So, it was just me thinking this is great I'm shopping for ME all by myself...well needless to say what did I come home with?! An awesome Cars bathing suit for John and adorable short set for Alex both were 50% off at Kmart so I got a great deal and they were thrilled with Lightening McQueen and Tow Mater on their new clothes. So, even when you think it's all about you for just an hour or so you can't escape this new world...being a Mommy!! And who would want to?!

PS. Thanks to my wonderful husband for allowing me those breaks here and there...Love ya!

Vacation Bible School

This week is Vacation Bible School at church. John has been looking forward to it for a few weeks now. I know how very important Bible School is because this is where I came to accept the Lord as my Savior. Well, John was telling us about his night. He said they had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for supper with too much peanut butter. He said they got to jump on the inflatable for awhile and that was fun. He said they learned about Jesus, when he was born. I asked him if there were any other boys in his class and he said "no I was surrounded by girls." Then he said "well the only other boy in my class was Jesus, yep just me and Jesus." I just thought that was the most awesome comment. He's only 5 I know but obviously he knows who Jesus is and he felt Jesus presence enough to include him in his class last night - how cool is that. Him and Jesus the only two boys in the class. I'm in awe as I usually am by this beautiful blue eyed kid!

GROSS!

John told me yesterday that another child at daycare picks her nose. He said "Mama we tell her stop and she won't, it's grosser than kissing." At least my child does have standards...

First haircut, Cars and lightening bugs

Well, we cut Alex's hair and now he looks like a big boy!!! Sorry no pictures. I will do my best to have a picture of my big boy tomorrow. He looks so grown up now, like a little man. Just too cute. More like his Daddy now than before, if that's possible.

We took John to see Car's this weekend. Very cute movie. Of course he loved it. He told me during the movie "this is one we'll have to buy." He also had a great time catching lightening bugs. I remember how much fun that was when Ashley and I were little. We would do that at Papa and Nanny's and then put them in a jar and watch them glow all night. John caught one on Saturday night - he named him Alex and carried him around all night just like he was his little pet. He was so excited. It was the greatest thing ever. Last night he went to my parents and caught 4-5 more. Of course he has a little bug container, no jar for him. Oh, and they are easier to catch at Gan Gan and Papa's. Everything is always better and easier at the Grandparents.

Needless to say it was a great weekend. Too bad lightening bugs can't be the highlight of all our weekends, huh?!
