....greetings from camp... (and a disclaimer!)

So, this week I am at childrens camp.

We are at COW week. Now, doesn't that just make you feel skinny?! (COW-Children only week)So there are about 900 3rd-6th graders and a few adults sprinkled amongst them. Not too many to dampen their energy or their little pranks though!

Anna is with us. She and D&D and I are staying in a family unit. Which is not to be confused with a hotel room at all. AT ALL!!! It is a small room with 4 twin beds, a sink, and its only saving grace a dresser! I love me a dresser! Oh yeah, there is also a shower and toilet, but please, this is a famnily kind of blog!

Anna has had a couple of funny statements this week. Last night we were standing outside waiting on the kids to join up with us Anna said
"these bugs are all around me!"
" the bugs talk to me at night in bed"
I said, surprised!"the bugs talk to you?"
she said matter of factly "yes!"
I said "what do they say?"
she said" I don't know! I don't talk bug talk"
Well that was good to know.

I won't bore you with the other Anna story but suffice it to say it was par for the course for her. She is quite the funny one.

We are half way through camp! Hallelujah, anyone?
I am almost looking forward to my date with the laundramat Friday night.

I need to wrap this up so that I can go stand in line for supper. The fact that I am standing in line for supper should in no way make you think that it is yummy, it is just because as an adult here, I get to eat before the kids. And I take advantage of that!

Before I go, let me say that I WHOLEHEARTDLY DISAPPROVE of the picture Abby posted for the blog hop. The next picture will be one that I approve of and one that Abby disappoves of. Get ready, it should be great fun!!!

Tell Anna that her Mom and Aunt Abby used to talk back to the bugs...so she is making progress. I'm proud of her.

Anna is such a cutie. I just love her, and I miss her smiling face. She was just starting to be friendly towards me before we moved. :(

The camp story really cracked me up, I could hear your voice the whole time I was reading it. Have fun on your date at the laundromat, lol.

Can't wait to see the picture you post!

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go
