I am the mother of a 9 yr old!

Sunday was my baby's birthday! My first baby that is and the one that taught me the meaning of a mother's love. I can't believe it has been 9 years and then again that day seems so long ago. I sometimes still look at my kids and marvel that they are mine. Does anyone else do that? I can't believe sometimes that three kids depend on me hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly for just about everything. How lucky am I do be given that responsibility. My Cameron is still a mommas boy in private and loves to cuddle when given the chance. He is handsome and polite and smart ( Can I actually take credit for any of that). I hope that I can remember more often that I was given a gift when I became a mother and try to never take that for granted.

When I have more time I will put a post up dedicated to Cameron and his birthday, unfortunately he was sick on his birthday so we had to cancel the party. And I will try not to be so philosophical next time , I don't want to freak you all out and make you think I am not always the sarcastic , witty brat that you are all used to.

Twilight

So of course me and the girls ventured out for the midnight showing of twilight. With all the hype before the movie I should of realized it would not live up to the actual book. For one there is not enough time to put it all in there, I wish they had shown more of the development of the love story. In the movie it doesn't seem as probable as the book. I do admit that their Edward did grow on me eventually. Don't get me wrong the movie was not horrible, but I do think I need to see it again. I am also looking forward to the sequels and am now tempted to reread the book so I can relive the movie in the long version in my head. If you just see the movie and don't read the book you really miss out.

Halloween

So this week at Cam and Ava's school they had red ribbon week , so they got to wear red on Mon, crazy feet on Tues. , PJ day on Wed., Hawaiian day on Thurs. and got to wear costumes on Fri. Ava only goes MWF so she dressed on those days and Cameron only chose to participate on certain days. I also got to go help out in Ava's class on Friday. You may notice that she has a ballerina costume on in her class, but Sleeping beauty for trick or treating, that's because we had issues with getting her costume on time after they sent the wrong one so we received it at about 4 P.M. on friday. Brody was a lion and was the cutest thing ever.

We have a sitter and an honor student!

It has been awhile since I have added a post, so I am going to try to catch up on some stuff today. First off Brody started sitting up about 2 weeks ago. He is getting so big and is such a happy boy that he brings smiles to everyone he sees.

I also want to recognize Cameron for his awesome work at school. He was on

the principals honor roll once again and was also student of the month. We are so proud of how well he does in school and of his behavior at school. I am still wondering how to get him to behavior better at home, but I guess I shouldn't complain.
