Back to School 2014

Well, school started in the middle of summer for us this year.  
I don't think any of us were quite ready for that, 
but Sammy was excited to start preschool for the first time!  
Here are some pics from his Open House night, 
and he still calls his preschool "my open house" when he talks about it!
And Sammy is learning his colors....Me: "What color is your shirt?" Sammy: "Orange." 
Me: "What color is Elmo?" Sammy: "Red."  Me: "What color is your elephant?" Sammy: "Cute!"
 And a few more pics from the first week back to school....
 K-Rae has gone for the "cheetah" look for second grade. 
Chloe is a classic school girl for fourth grade, which she calls her "funnest year ever!"
 
 (and we're on day 8 of second grade for her, and K-Rae is still dressing like a cheetah each day!....)

"One of those days"....

No, actually maybe "one of those years".....
or probably more accurately, "one of those lives".....!
My first posting of 2014 is happening about 8 weeks into the "new" year!  
Well, I've been sort of busy:
we have toddlerhood with Bubba.....
I know, he looks so sweet and innocent, except for when he's very busy 
breaking and entering into his sissies' rooms while they are at school!  
He loves "helping" mama---and keeping mama very busy.
Anyhow----back to "one of those days."  
Just as I was about to get Lil' Miss Mae dressed this a.m....
I realized her full body-suit she wears under her clothes (it's a tight fitting suit that really stabilizes her walking), was still in the washer.  Not being willing to risk her falling by sending her to school without it, I tried to brainstorm the next option.....and being the good parent I am, decided to let her and K-Bug stay home from school for the a.m., and tag along to the safety fair at the mall with Sammy and I and do some shopping at Target....They have some money, more like some special Valentine gift cards from Meemaw, burning a hole in their cute little purses from Meemaw as well.....so all dressed up and......
nowhere to go.........the van door with the ramp for Lil' Miss Mae's wheelchair makes a loud snapping sound and will not open, and that was that....I texted RyDaddy, attempting to stay "The van door will not open," but the swipe function on my phone insisted on saying the "da#* door will not open," which was pretty much summed it up anyhow.  So he came home to check on it, and confirmed that yes indeed, the van door will not open, and we were in fact going nowhere other than now walking to school......sigh.......
so safety fair canceled, shopping trip postponed, but the body suit did manage to get dried in all that, and off to school!  As for the van, I don't know.....
and life, even one of those lives!" goes on....
with plenty of reasons to smile.

Good night Mummy!

Most toddlers have a security object of sorts...
a nice little blankie,
or a cuddly teddy bear.
Well, ours has a mummy....
Yes, an actual mummy.
 "We" spend a lot of time with Mummy....
so much time with Mummy in fact, 
that Mummy even has its own little bed in Bubba's room...
way up high....
we don't actually let Mummy sleep in Bubba's crib with him; 
you'll see why!
This mummy was purchased by me as a gag gift for hubby 
(before little Bubba was even born)....
and graces our house for laughs around Halloween time....
Well, just be careful what you have around for household "decor" though,
because something you may have intended to be fun and games for a couple of weeks, 
could turn into your little one's best friend.....
Plenty of laughs provided!
And fortunately, Mummy needs to take lots of naps (for this Mommy's sanity!)
Good Night Mummy!
