Halloween '08

I always enjoy halloween because the kids get to dress up and go get candy and other goodies. Sean knows the routine. Dress up, hold out your bucket, get candy, say Thank You. Well Kali understood how to get the treats and say Thank You. She had a little problem with the costume. Mom and Dad picked her out the cutest little witch outfit. We put it on Kali on Wednesday for our Harvest Party. She DID NOT like it. She said it itched. So Friday I left her long sleeve shirt on and Nanny Linda even rolled up her sleeves. Let's just say she won the fight. She would not take off her jeans and tennis shoes. She would not put on her hat. When we took her picture she tried to take it off. She walked around holding up the skirt screaming at the top of her lungs. Somebody probably thought that we were killing her. She is so funny. Ok here are the pics. Enjoy!!!

New Kittens

Well this weekend my two kiddos stayed with my in-laws so that Terence and I could attend a surprise birthday party for one of our best friends. While they were there 2 kittens, whose eyes aren't even open yet, were discovered under Danny's boat. Their mother, poor thing, they found dead. So even though Stephanie does not like cats because she's allergic to them, she is nursing them with bottles and getting up and down with them. Sean is helping so much. His cat is gray with a white patch around it's nose and Kali's is Black with orange and white speckles on it's side. They are so cute. Sean stayed with Danny and Steph again last night so he could help take care of the babies.


Sean has had an amazing week. He is so resilient. Week ago we had the hair fiasco. Thursday night at the pep rally a hot ash from the lighting of the numbers hit him in the eye. Then on Friday, Mom called and said that his horse, Moses, had died. He told us that Moses was old and that he was sick and he's not sick any more. He was a little sad but saw the good side of it all. I had a harder time losing Moses I think. He was such a sweet horse. I think that I loved him that much because of how good he was to Sean. He never once tried to hurt Sean and always looked for him to come visit and feed him.


On a brighter note, the kittens are doing great and when I asked the kids what they named them their responses.....Sean "Just Kitty".....Kali"Cat" So we have two kittens and their names are Kitty and Cat. How cute is that. Well that's all for now.

IN MEMORY OF MOSES

They Know How to Get What They Want!!!

Friday was a crazy day for me. I was at the office working and as usual Sean asked if he could use the scissors and cut some paper into pieces. I have showed him how to use the scissors and he does a really great job. He is really careful not to cut his fingers. Again as usual I forgot one very important detail. Give him instructions on what not to cut. You guessed it!! He gave himself a haircut. Let me take you back two days. We were visiting with Jacob and Kristy and their boy Tyler needed a haircut. Tyler being just like his daddy wants it buzzed off. Sean, being the smaller of the two boys and loving Tyler as much as he does, wants his hair buzzed too. He wants to be like Tyler. I get that. It's great Tyler is a great role model. I tell Sean that he has to discuss the haircut with his dad before we let Jacob buzz it off. Back to Friday, I turn around to find a chunk of Sean's hair missing. There is hair all over the office floor. I am ready to die because I know what's coming. I calmly tell him that he can't cut his own hair with scissors and that now we have to go to see Miss Joy at the Barber Shop. He's excited. We get to Joy's hoping to be able to fix it because on Wednesday he has school pictures. Can't fix it. Have to buzz it all off. When Joy finishes I tell Sean that all his hair is gone. His response, you got it!! "Me told you me wanted a haircut like Tyler's" I cannot keep in the laugh anymore. He figured out how to get exactly what he wanted. Little stinker. Can't help but love him.

Goodness How Fast They Grow Up

It's amazing how fast kids grow. Today when I dropped Sean off at school he told me that he didn't need me to walk him in. He said he was big enough to do it by himself. Broke my heart. He's growing into such a good boy. Before school started he relied on me for everything. And thanks to Ms. Carol, love her to pieces, Sean has gained independence and self-will. I am so grateful for this no matter how much it hurts for him to let go. I love him dearly. And Kali wants to grow up, but she's still too young for school. Bless her heart she cries everytime I take Sean to Ms. Carol's because she can't stay. If only she would stay a baby a little longer. Wishful thinking huh? I just pray that we will keep a close relationship like we do now. God Bless!!
