Does this fit the Arby's commercial or not

I thought this picture was funny. Matt Kenseth the Nascar driver came to Altec where Barry works the other day and gave them sandwiches. He also gave them these cute little headbands. Barry brought them home to the children. He put one on Maggie and she actually let it stay on.

Botanical Gardens Field Trip - Mary

Mary had her final fieldtrip for 2nd grade yesterday. We went to the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. It was alot of fun and a wonderful day. The weather was perfect and the children were great. When we got there aroung 9:30am we went on a scavenger hunt. I had control of 5 of the children for the scavenger hunt. All the children were split up into small groups to look for about 40 different things throughout the gardens. We found all of our items . We had an hour to find it before we had to meet back a the meeting point to do the second part of the day. At 10:30am we met with two ladies from the gardens to learn the science and animal part of the gardens. The did a little story telling part and then sent the children in small groups on a little area of the gardens to find items they had placed in the park for the children to find that went along with what they told the children. Then we met back with them a few minutes later to talk about what we found and draw a picture of our favorite thing we found. Mary loved this. Then we all had a picnic and explored the gardens for another hou or two. After the picnic I treid to get Mary to leave and go to Brookwood Village for some girl time, but she didn't want to. But altogether the day was great and we had a wonderful time.

Lads to Leaders awards at church

Every year our congregation as its own little awards ceremony after we return home from Lads to Leaders. Last night after evening worship services we had our version of the awards. We recognized all the young people who participated in the event in Nashville whether they placed or not. They are all winners no matter if they got a trophy or not. Christopher went up and he wanted to either speak or lead a song or something. We are not really sure since he stood there and then finally he went to where they wanted him for pictures. He is definitely going to be our clown, but he is also going to be good at whatever he decides to do. I think he is going to have a really outgoing personality. I hope he does, because I never have had one. I am more of a reserved type. He's more like his daddy, they both will pretty much talk to a stump when they want to. Mary Elizabeth got her certificates for Songs of Praise and Bible reading. She also got a medal for Good Samaritan and a ribbon for knowing the books of the Bible. SHe is more like me. I hope she learns to come out of her shell and becomes more outgoing like her daddy and brother. I know from experience it is no fun to be reserved. It may keep you out of more trouble, but you don't make friends or meet people too easily. So for her I hope she becomes more like Barry. We had a lot of fun ith the kids at the awards and look forward to it every year.

Mary Elizabeth

Mary Elizabeth or Mary as she says her name is loves school. She brought home her report card last week and she did great. She made all b's this time and her overall fort he year so far is 2 A's and a B. They only get grades in 3 classes this year, Math, Language Arts and Reading. She is doing great in school. She loves school, her friends and her teacher. She has a wonderful teacher this year as well as every year she has been at Corner. I am so very proud of her. And I would be just as proud of her if she made worse grades just as long as she was doing her very best. She works very hard and it shows.
Mary Elizabeth, I love you and am very proud of you. Keep up the good work.
Mommy and Daddy are very proud and love you very very much and we always will.

Register Christopher for Pre School

We registered Christopher for preschool at Dora First Baptist this past Thursday night. He got the teacher I wanted him to get. He also showed me that he is going to be the social one and the class clown. He went up to everyone and talked to them and ran and played like he was meant to be there. He also told us before we went that he was going to school and he was staying all weekend long. I cannot beleive my baby is going to school this Fall. What am I going to do with myself during the hours he is in school? It was easier for me when Mary went there, because I was working full time and he was coming at the same time. I guess that I will have to find something to occupy my time.
Hope all are having a great weekend and the upcoming week is great.

Hey! Guys. I worked with my old account and could not ever get it to let me back in so I started a new blog. Hope everyone is doing great. We are doing wonderful, a little crazy sometimes, but great. I have a wonderful husband or 12 1/2 years and two wonderful children. I named y blog a wild house divided, because with a husband, a girl 8 1/2 , a boy 4 1/2, a girl 5, a girl 4, and a girl 3 the house can get really wild. For those of you who know me and are saying where did the other 3 girls come from, they are our animals. We have a cat named Boots who is around 5 years old, a dog named Precious about 4 years old, and we just got a full blooded Bassett Hound named Maggie Mae who is 3 years old. So when the husband, children and animals all are in the house and goin the house gets really crazy and wild. As for the divided part I am Auburn all the way and my husband is Alabama, Mary is Auburn and Christopher is for Auburn most of the time, but changes to Alabama every once in a while, He's confused. We will see in a few years where his loyalties really lie.
Mary got her report card this week and she made the A-B honor roll again. She is really doing great and loves school, but we are ready for summer break.
Christopher goes to get signed up for pre-school tomorrow night. He will be in 4 year old kindergarten next year and what am I going to do with my mornings with no kids at home. I guess I wil have a little more time to work out, not that I don't do alot of that now.
Hey girls are we ready for another Girls Night Out? I know I am.
Nashville was fun and wearing. Mary participated in Songs of Praise and Bible Reading. Next year she says she wants to do Songs of Praise, Bible Reading, black and white photo, color photo, collage, scrapbook, and maybe speech. I may get her to do Bible Bowl as well, bet I don't want to overwhelm her.
I better go. Write more next time.
