What the kid's are saying...

Josh: Mom, I like to have odor (B.O)
Me: You do...why?
Josh: Because it means I'm turning into a man.

My baby is Eight!

I knew that my children would grow up, but I didn't know that it would be so fast.
I feel as though this is the beginning of the end; in a short time Josh will be grown and won't need me.

That is all I can say about this right now, I will revisit it when I am a little more emotionally stable.

WHAT!?!?

I am going to preface this post by saying that Josh has been sick with a fever and rash, his actions may have something to do with that.

This morning Josh came to me and said "Mom, look how many eyelashes I've pulled out!" I looked down at his hand and was surprised to see 50 or more little brown eyelash hairs covering his palm. In complete shock I said "Son, didn't that hurt?"

"A little" he replied. I then looked at his eye and saw that my son (bless his heart) pulled out almost half of his eyelashes on the upper lid and half his eyelashes on the lower lid.

I didn't know whether I should get angry or cry, what was he thinking?

I composed myself and said "Joshua why did you do that?"

He was quick to answer, "because Mom, blowing eyelashes is good luck"

He's so pretty!!!!!!

Very First Day of School

It happened, Josh & Ella's very first day of school.

I am so excited for the new adventures they are going to have but I am also scared. I have so many what-ifs going through my mind; what if they make bad choices or friends, what if they hate school and then hate me for making them go, what if I didn't teach Josh well enough and he's way behind in his class.

I can't wait to pick the kids up from school so I can see if they hate me or not!

Ella at her new desk, she sits right across her friend from Church.

Josh at his new desk, he sits across from a girl that is 3 times his size.
Ella dressed and ready to go
Joshy is really looking so grown up.
Ella had to sleep in curlers last night, I love her hair curly!
