Friday Rewind.

Well this week started off with Cameron getting ill on Sunday. He started running a fever Sunday morning and laid around all day sleeping and looking pathetic. By Sunday night he was looking better and even got up to eat a little bit of a salad and a Popsicle.

He woke up Monday morning and was feeling OK....BUT then we dropped off Easton at school and as I am standing there signing Easton in Cameron comes over and looks at me to tell me he just sharted...so...I tell him to go wipe up so we can go home and change. Well he was also on the toilet seconds before we were leaving the house for school. So I decided to keep him home from school. I couldn't send him to school if he was sharting himself. He was pretty much normal all day Monday, only in the bathroom a couple times.

So Tuesday morning rolls around and he comes out of his room in the morning and stops in the hallway looks at me as I am cooking pancakes in the kitchen and says....."Mom it happened it again, I sharted, I just farted and poop came out". But Tuesday was field day at school and he wanted to go. I kept asking him if he was sure he felt ok to go to school, he said YES. So off we go.

We had to make a pit stop at the bathroom at Easton's school, then we got to Cameron's school right when the bell rang and of course he straight to the bathroom. In the meantime I am telling his teacher that he may need to use the bathroom without asking. Ryan and I have told him several times he cannot fart. If he feels a fart he just needs to go to the bathroom. So I left him at school with extra underwear in his backpack just in case.
So about 11:20 I am picking up Easton and get back into the car and have a voicemail from the school...yep I need to pick him up. Apparently he was feeling ok BUT had made a few trips to the bathroom and his butt was hurting. He actually told his teacher his butt was hurting. I felt so bad for sending him to school. He complained about his poor butt the whole way home. Then Wednesday comes around and he was pretty much back to normal but tells me when I pick him up he sharted at the end of the school day. And does he throw away the soiled poopie gross underwear like we told him...NO! He keeps them because they are Easton's Tree Rex {skylander} underwear and didn't want Easton to get mad. Sick. Gross. He brought home poopie underwear.

Then on Thursday Ryan started to feel ill. He got some help at work and was home before noon and went straight to bed. He stayed home today and will stay home tomorrow as well. He is feeling better but still not 100% so he's decided to wait until Monday to go back. And then earlier today Bentley passed out at like noon. That's way too early for him to be passing out. He was running a fever BUT then woke up a couple hours later and was normal. So I don't know WTF is going on with him. I am just hoping I don't get whatever it is and hoping my Grandma doesn't get it either. She watched Bentley like 3 days this week.....

On Wednesday I helped out at Cameron's school all freaking morning. I helped his teacher do a few things then the kids got their yearbooks. It's so cute to see all the kids looking through the yearbooks and asking all their friends to sign their name. So so cute! 

We got lots and lots of precious junk sent home this week. Like WTF am I suppose to do with it all?! I guess I will go through it and keep some and recycle the rest then throw it in a huge tote to be shoved in the garage. 

Yesterday was the last day for both Easton and Cameron. Easton had a picnic in the park and Cameron's school goes to the Aquatic Center every year on the last day. I was not able to go with Cameron because I had to take Easton and since it was his last day of Pre-school I opted to spend this special day with him. They played games, ate lunch, and got their little pre-school certificate. Cameron was excited to be going to the Aquatic center with his school buddy and then afterwards he went over to his house to play. The boys love going over there so it was a treat for all of them to go over and play with their friends. 

I finished the teacher book I had been working on for Cameron's teacher. I was happy with how it turned out. I kept it simple and tried to add a picture of every student inside. I was aiming for pictures of the teacher with each student or groups of students but that didn't happen. And I was not able to get all the kids to sign the book. I was missing a handful. 

I did not get a decent picture of Cameron or Easton on the last day of school with their signs. 

It was partly my fault because the sun was blazing right in their eyes. And Easton always has to have this funky ass face. Seriously why can't he have a normal smile. I will have to remember to go in the backyard on the first day of school. 

We have released a butterfly and transferred a chrysalis to the butterfly habitat. Now we are watching and waiting for the butterfly to emerge.

Here are the little notes the boys wrote to their teachers. Easton wrote out 4...one for each of the teachers in his class,  including the teachers that help with the special needs students. Easton really loved helping one of the little blind girls in his class. It was sweet to watch him hold her hand and guide her along and help her with things. 

Today was only Day one.....Its going to be a long 10 weeks!

Friday Rewind.

Things are finally starting to slow down around here. It was a short school week and our first week with no baseball. Next week will be a little hectic but its all good because we can rest after that. 

I will have a busy weekend trying to gather and print pictures to finish Cameron's teachers mini book I am making her for an end of the year gift. I just started the cover tonight and I am super excited the way it looks so far. Although my feelings not hat could change once I start to add embellishments. 

Cameron's school has a Parent Appreciation Day where they invite all the parents to the classrooms and the students usually sing and put on a little performance and serve us little desserts. Cameron's class this year sang a couple songs and then read a book to their parents. It's really sweet to see the kids get super excited to do this for their parents. One thing I forgot to do was to get a picture of Cameron and I:( kinda bummed about that. 

Last night we headed to a pizza party in the park for Cameron's end of the season baseball party. The kids ran around and had blast. Easton and Bentley got down on some cake. 

My seeds in the garden have just started sprouting .....super excited about that! I just got a couple more packets today...carrots and onions, I plan on planting them tomorrow. Now if I could Bentley to stop picking off the leaves and pulling up the plants....UGH...damn kid!!!!



I am obsessing over the Ronald McDonald House Charity stamp set Stampin' Up! has in the new catalog, which will be available to order starting on Tuesday. I couldn't resist playing around with it.....when really I should have been doing something for my teacher book I am making. 

Cameron has always been into mowing the lawn with Ryan since he was a toddler. A couple months Ryan let him have a hand in helping mow the lawn. I think the last time he mowed he was out there for LONG time just mowing away while Ryan sat, watched, and ate some otter-pops. 

Oh and I totally loving this gel nail polish crap. Seriously like the BEST thing ever. I have had painted nails since Sunday and NO chipping whatsoever! So awesome! I think I am hooked now!!

One last thing...whoever came up with the saying...."The Terrible Twos" ...your child must have been a freaking angel because in our household it's more like the "HORRIBLE THREES"!!!! When will it end?!

Make it Monday.

Today's Make it Monday is a sneak peak of some new products offered in the 2015-2016 annual catalog that will be available for order next Tuesday June 2. I am thinking next month's card class we will be working with this set:) 

The Sprinkles of Life stamp set is the Ronald McDonald House stamp set in the new catalog. When you purchase this stamp set Stampin' Up! donates $3 to the Ronald McDonald House Charities. This stamp set coordinates with the new Tree Builder Punch also available starting next Tuesday. I am absolutely loving this set. There are so many possibilities. I have a couple samples in progress that I am working on right now.  I also used the new paper stack Cherry on Top....which is super cute!!! Stay tuned ...only a week left until all the new products are available to order...WHOOOHOOO!!!

This and That.

Well lots of random things happening around our hood. The school year is just about over with {whoohooo} and baseball has officially ended this past Friday. Cameron's team played and won the Championship game Friday night.


Last weekend was Bentley's birthday and his party. Lots of planning and prepping for that {glad that's over with}. 

In between baseball games last weekend we had just enough time to run and get Bentley a haircut before his big party on Sunday and this was his little treat.

Then it was my birthday a couple days after Bentley's. Ryan broke the rules again and surprised me with a gift certificate for a mani and pedi and since Cynthia was in town visiting for a week he got her one too that way I would have to go OR it would take me months to go use it {we went this morning on our mani/pedi date}.

Don't let the white legs blind you!

Cynthia, Beckett, and Rebecca came to visit us at Easton's game earlier in the week and it just happened to be my birthday.

After Easton's game they had their "team party" where the kids get their trophies. All the kids always look forward to that and cannot wait. 

I still have lots to do for the mini book I am making Cameron's teacher for an end of the year gift. I need to sift through the pictures on our class shutter fly account and pick out some pictures then I can really get moving on it. I have no clue what I am going to do for Easton's teachers but feel I need something easy....I will be searching Pinterest for that. 

Have I mentioned that I tracked how long I spend in the car in a week?! Well on average in 7 days I am spending about 16 hours in my car driving....AND I DON'T HAVE A JOB! My job is driving my kids to and from school and to and from baseball. 


I finally got our garden planted today! It feels good to finally have that done. It's been on my to-do list for weeks now. We might be putting a fence up around it. I am little worried about Mattie {the dog} but I think even more worried about Bentley. He was already picking some of the leaves off the plants....damn kid!!!

 Ryan has been itching to take the Jeep out. So since I already had my date planned with Cynthia he said it was just going to be him and  the boys~minus Bentley. So off they went yesterday afternoon. I was a little nervous about it since there is no cell reception where he was going. They made it back this afternoon safe and the Jeep was still in one piece. 

 Last year we had a horrible fire in the sierra that torched acres and acres of land, of forest. Ryan said it was absolutely heart breaking to see it. 

 Ryan managed to snap a few pictures for me:)

Easton had a field trip to the county fair this past week. The kids checked out some cool exhibits....a huge jenga game, bubbles, huge chess and operation. There was lots of things to check out. We watched the pig races {Easton loved those} and checked out the goats. 

Love his sweet little half smile.

Now this is embarrassing.....I took Cameron to school with different colored shoes on. My mommy friend noticed it and pointed it out to me as we were walking back to our cars. I was so embarrassed. And I had errands to run after dropping off Cameron so I wasn't going to back home....I had to go and about like that!!! I guess I will make sure there is a light on in our bedroom next time I get my shoes on. 


Hoping to get a new card made tomorrow for make it Monday using some new products!!!! So excited about the new Ronald McDonald House stamp set!!!!
