Mother's Day card from Christopher

I thought you all would kind of get a kick out of some of his answers to a card that Mrs. Linda had the class make for their moms.
I have the best mom in the whole world!
My mom is as pretty as a flower. She weighs 13 pounds and she's as tall as a flower. My mom loves to eat steak. I think Mom looks funny when she laughs. When my mom is happy, she smiles. I know she's really mad when she yells. My mom is proud of me when I eat. If I chased my Mom with a green bug, she would scream. If I had $100, I would buy my Mom a hairbow. I wish my Mom a Happy Mother's Day!
Is this not funny an that hairbow would have to be one gauddy bow for $100.

Happy Mother's Day!

Just wanted to say Happy Mother's Day to all you women out there. I have had a good one. The kiddos and Barry gave me a couple of storage shelves for scrapbooking stuff and a hand plate. The plate has both the kiddos hand prints on it. It is soo cute.
Friday night me and the kiddos went o ver to Laura's to spend some time and Lori came. The other girls couldn't make it. But we had a great time. The kiddos had fun with each other and the ladies did too. We ate talked and had lots of fun with each other. Thank you Laura, next time come to my house.
Saturday, the Sunshine Girls had a Mother's Day project. We made mini loaves of bread for the mothers at church to pass out to them. Then they made birthday cards for the little chinese girl we help support and her twin brother. Then they went out front to plant a few flowers in the pots. They did great and had fun. That afternoon when Barry got home from the men's retreat, Lauren and I went out. We went to Sumo to have early dinner and they gave me a carnation for being a mother. Then we went to see "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past". It was good other than a few half dressed women. We had a good time.
This morning they gave me my girfts and we went to church. The girls gave out the bread between services. Then we had lunch over at Barry's grandmothers home.
All in all we have had a good day so far. Hope you all have one as well.

ME and the eye doctor

Today I took Mary for her 6 month checkup for her lazy eye. As most of you know when she was 2 1/2 years old she had to have eye surgery to make the eye stay where it should and not trail out to the side, this was done on her left eye. It was a great success. Now he has been watching her eyes for a couple of years now. He told us today that it has gotten worse and that she also is a little bit near sited. He says her right eye needs to have surgery now. She will be having suregery on the right eye on June 1, 2009. He said he wants to do it before it gets bigger, since the bigger it is the more work it takes to repair it. I told him that I would do what he felt was best and he said we could do it after school was out and she would do great. He said she would have outpatient. Surgery would take about 30 minutes, then 30 minutes recovery and then within an hour she would be on her way home. She would see double that day and maybe the next and have blurry vision for up to 3 days. Her eye would be red on the white part for about 2 weeks and then all should be well. I hope so. I have noticed that she has been pulling the eye into place all the time now. Please keep her in your prayers and that all will go well with the surgery. She is not concerned with the surgery itsself, but with the stitches afterward. She has asked me will they hurt, how do they put them in there, how will they just go away(dissolve) and others like this. Maybe she will not worry about it any further.

Kindergarten Registration and Pizza Party Fun day.

Last night we registered Christopher for Kindergarten at Corner. My baby is now going to big boy school this August. They gave him an assement. He was asked to say ABc's, read abc's upper and lower case, colors, shapes and numbers. She asked him to count to 20 for her and he told her it was too hard (mind you he can count all the way to 100). She then asked him to count to 10 then. So he started counting and went past 20 and she stopped him and said I thought 20 was to hard. She thn told him, "I can tell you don't like to be wrong." Since he would not move on to the next one til he got that one right. He was excited.
Today his class at DFBK had their play day at the park and pizza party for winning the $1 drop a few months ago. They got to play in one of those big blow up jumpy things for a while ten went across to the park. While on the bus waiting on Mrs. Beth to come take then across the street they were all chanting "park...park...park...park". They had a great time. I loved sitting over there and watching them and talking with the other moms.

Ladies Day!

This and that.

It has been a while since I have posted. We have been very busy. We had Easter and our annual Lads to Leaders Convention. Our kids did great. Mary was upset, becaue she didn't place n anything. I just told her that not all will place and she will need to work a little harder next time. She was mostly upset, because the judge over her Bible Bowl team told them they made the top 8. We found out later that they did not make the top 8 and it really upset the whole team.
I just found out Sunday that I hurt a friends feelings and totally did not mean to. I am one who absolutely hates to hurt someone's feelings, so when I do it really bothers me. I am this way because I know exactly how it feels and don't want to do that to others. I have friends whoi get together and go do things as a group and I am not invited. This is why I try my best not to leave someone out. I recently had a few girls over to watch Twilight. It ended up being me and one oher lady. I didn't even think to invite someone and ended uo hurting her feelings. This was totally unintentional and I would never try to exclude someone or hurt them. When I saw that I had hurt her feelings I felt really bad. I am almost always left out and know how it hurts, so I try to not do it to anyone. I am not perfect s I mess up sometimes. I can only ask she forgives me and try not to do it again. I am sorry for hurting your feelings, you know who you are. I didn't want to say your name in case you didn't want to be named. I do love you and want to spend time with you and I will remember you next time.

Busy, Busy Weekend to come.

Well starting tomorrow after Christopher's Easter Egg hunt at school, we will be heading to Nashville, the Opryland Hotel, for a weekend full of activities with our church family. We go every year for our Lads to Leaders and Leaderettes Convention. This is an event that teaches our young people how to be leaders in our church. There are actually 5 convention sites, Nashville, TN, Memphis, TN, Indianapolis, IN, Atlanta, GA and Orlando, FL. So there are thousands of children and adults participating in the weekend events. Christopher will be doing song leading. This will be Mary's first year to actually compete in any event. She did know the books and good samaritan at home and will be doing...Black and white photo, color photo, Speech, Bible Bowl and Song leading and Bible reading up there. I want to wish all of our young people luck and hope they all realize the wonderful oportunity they are being handed with this weekend and all the time at home.
Happy Easter everyone.
