Trust your KIDS!

Trust your kids to always tell you how it is. I was having a shower and Jake burst into the bathroom because he had to poop. I didn't want to damage him by letting him watch me have a shower but I didn't have much of a choice since he was already on the toilet taking care of business. So I turned around. I figured the back view wouldn't be as bad as the front. All of a sudden he yelled "YIKES...your bum is looking at me. It's wiggly mom." What a way to start your day!

Tonight Jadon and Kierra had their annual Harmony performance. The Theme was "We Rememeber America". It was awesome! This was the 3rd time I had seen it because I went to the performances at the school. I could watch it over and over. The songs were so neat and they had a slide show of some very neat pictures from American History playing on the wall while they sang. It brought tears to my eyes every time I watched it. There aren't many things neater than when you take songs about our great country and have your children sing them!

Kierra the Party Girl!

My daughter, Kierra (8), is turning into quite the little party girl! She is currently been off track and has kept herself busy. She and her cousin, Kamry, have decided to start their own school. They have signed up about 8 kids in the neighborhood to come to their school. They are going to teach Math, Science, Art and Gymnastics. I'm not sure how she is going to teach gymnastics since she's never taken gymnastics. I'm sure she'll figure it out. So she went around the neighborhood and told the kids that if they wanted to come to her school, she had to have their parent's signature. On the form that the parents signed, it said "Kierra's mom will be there and she is nice." Kierra arranged for the kids to come to our house every Thursday. Since Halloween was coming up, her first class was, of coarse, a Halloween Party. I found this out AFTER she had given everyone their invitations. Well she has better luck than me with parties. EVERYONE she invited showed up with their treat to share with all the kids. I had already planned to do some wallpapering in Jaxon's room with my mom that day so I told her that I couldn't help her very much. She told me that she had it all planned and didn't need any help. She did a great job! She had a lot of outside games planned, including a get to know you game. The house actually wasn't that messy, except for all the fun dips that a parent thought would be fun to send for everyone...blue sugar all over the floor! I told Kierra that it's fun to have a party but part of having a party was cleaning up. So she and Kamry sweapt up all the blue sugar. I was very impressed with the little party animal!
