My All Star Student

Sydnie got two awards at school today...All Star Student....thats right yes she did...hold the applause please...okok....you dont have to....go for it...show your appreciation for a job well done!!! :) She also received a reading points award! You go girl Mom is so proud of you!!!

Saylor was all ready for her Easter egg hunt today...they'll be having snacks after lunch and their Easter Egg hunt...woohoooo wont we have lots of fun with all those eggs!!!

Sydnie kept asking before we left for school Easter Party Mom? Not really a party, just some cupcakes and stuff at lunch and then you're Egg Hunt....oh cool!......so off she goes with her basket......

Both the girls were really excited about carrying their baskets to school even though Saylor liked Syds better it was pink....so I told her maybe we could find her one (the little plastic ones at Walmart...didnt want to send the baskets we use at Easter that their great grandmother made for them)

So off I go back to the school for lunch, cupcakes, candy and yes both Easter Egg Hunts! Then...
SPRING BREAK! THANK YOU JESUS!

The things they say.....

Conversation this morning...

Saylor: Mom did God make the cows?
Mom: Yes He did.
Saylor: Horses?
Mom: Yes He made all the animals?
Saylor: Pigs? Ducks?
Mom: Yes....
Saylor: I know what Chickens are made of....
Sydnie: NUGGETS!

At this point I lost it....it was hilarious!

Easter is just around the corner!

Yes Easter is this weekend....do you think Im finished shopping? Umm no..it seems that so many things have come up ...OH MY GOSH....SYDNIE NEEDS WHITE SHOES!!!! Ok I guess I need to think more about this shopping thing than I realized....Ive got some of their things for their baskets but not what I need....ughhhhh This week has been really busy from day to day ...different things every day. Tomorrow is Easter snacks at school and some Easter egg hunts for both the girls....I'll be there all afternoon most likely...eating lunch..hiding eggs...looking for them and taking pics...yay it should be fun!

Some of you are prob wondering how school is going....its going ok...Sydnie is being herself....working hard....and doing things that doesnt necessarily exhibit perfect behavior. We all know how that goes...! I talk to her every day about being good, listening to her teachers, keeping her hands and feet to herself....no matter how minor things are...I just dont want there to be a note when she gets home. She had a good day will be sufficient. Especially with no major incidents. She is disappointed when I talk to her about things that happen at school and I explained to her that it is not entirely her fault and that we just needed to contain her thoughts and actions lol....She tells me she's sorry....God love her soul! I am proud of all she accomplishes!!! YOU GO GIRL!

Well Tball practice is tonight.....yay at least its warm...woohooooo

Last but not least.....Sydnie is officially starting practice on April 21 for the first Special Needs Competition Cheerleading team in the county!!! She has been tumbling for a year and finally have 4 members to start out with and I am confident that it will grow in to an Awesome Team!
Pictures will follow....you know that! :)

Until next time..........

Thank you Jesus the sun is shining! Its a little chilly today but thank goodness the sun is shining...only to be followed by another rainy front...*sigh*
Not a whole lot to say today...we're getting ready to head out to a birthday party...at our friends across the street. Darin is picking up ball equipment for the girls tball team...and we need to call the kids on our team today. I think I will leave that to Darin ...I have quite a bit going on haha
Speaking of bdays I talked to the girls to see if they would like to have their bday parties together and they both said yes....ok...hmm what kind do you want to have.....CAMP ROCK! CINDERELLA! Ooook so Im thinking this will be a hard one....I've got to come up with a way to give them both what they want and stillll have them together ...can I pull this off and still get the pictures I want to have? I guess I'll need to rope some friends in to doing that for me huh?
Alright just wanted to check in...I need to get the girls dressed and get the present ready....woohooo
Hey Kass....we're on our way! Happy Birthday Girl!

Saylor keeps me thinking....

She has been drawing and making cards this evening...one for me and one for daddy. Sweet little cards....her and Sydnie are being so good in the living room being creative....well Saylor walks over to me and asks if when she goes to Heaven could she take Jesus a card...I said sure you can....she said I really wish I could go but you want me to stay here a little longer (past conversation that just about cause me to stroke out). I told her yes I do...and she said but i really want to go to heaven.....mommy how did he get that red stuff in us? Well....Im not sure but he's really smart......yeah mom some of that stuff is ketchup (happen to catch a minute of HOUSE I had to come up with something lol) thats red....and apples are red and blood is red....whew by this time my head is spinning but inside Im giggling that she comes up with this stuff LOL

I am thankful the girls are getting along this evening.

The sun is shining!

Hey folks....the sun is shining today and its suppose to be almost 70. That is awesome! I am so ready for warm weather.

The consignment sale this past weekend was a huge success! The girls got lots of goodies and we made some money while we were at it.....the Childrens Ministry made a lot of money for kids camp....we are so proud! You know those consignment sales are a lot of work but so worth it in the end. People love coming out and getting a deal on their kids clothes and making a little cash!

Sydnie had an awesome day on Friday.....5/5 in all of her classes...You go girl! I dont know if you read where they had changed up things a little but there is a sheet that goes with Syd to each of her classes and the teacher fills it out...'was she respectful to her peers', 'her teacher', 'did she stay on task' (this one is sometimes hard but we all know how that is), 'follows directions' etc.....she had a Perfect day....I was sooo excited when I got her sheet and we made such a big deal out of it.

Spelling words this week are some tough ones....bless her soul...haha....this weekend was sooo busy we didnt get to start on them so we'll drill for the next couple of days to get her ready for her practice test on Wed and then drill some more until Fri....say a prayer for her little brain :)
Her hands are looking a lot better.....they were peeling off.....it was crazy! I started reading up on it and it looks like to me it may have been from her Strep...I have never heard of this....we're keeping them lotioned up and they are looking better......trust me this isnt just dry hands.....Im talking scaling off :)

Saylor is more determined than ever....she is going to be something else....she can be sooo sweet but can back talk like you've never seen a 4 yr old do. haha....we had a little heart to heart yesterday but Im thinking she doesnt much care. Im hoping she'll grow out of this mouthy stage before she hits some teen years.....or better yet by the time she is 5. She's a mess!

One more consignment sale to go ...this one Im just participating in.....but I'll be gone all day on Friday....I'll drop stuff off on Thurs evening, then shop at 2 on Friday.....that'll take a few hrs ...then we'll run and get a bite to eat then be back by 6 to work until 9....the things we do to clothe our kids hahahaaa ok yes consignments are just plain addicting!

Positive Thoughts

I just wanted to check in today....Sydnie and Saylor have had a good week at school.....its been warming up which is always nice.

I just wanted to clarify to anyone that may have read my blog ....
Sydnie's Asst has been a wonderful person to her. My past blogs have been concerning the situation....the notes in her planner etc and my not understanding the meaning of each one or how to handle that with Sydnie and what battles to choose.
Her asst really cares about Sydnie and wants whats best for her. She goes the extra mile to do things FOR Sydnie. She buys things she knows she likes whether it be High School Musical or Hannah Montana. At the end of school last year....she put all these things together ...worksheets and things we could work on over the summer and it was awesome!!! I didnt want any one to think.... which I believe only a handful of out of towners have read this :) ....that it was anything personal with the asst. Ive known her for years and she is a wonderful person and loves Syd very much and that I appreciate!
