Lowe's Workshop: Sheep Game

The girls have another game that they made from the Lowe's workshops. This time it was a sheep drop game from the How to Train Your Dragon 2 movie. I can't wait to see this movie and I know the kids will love it. I thought the first one was cute and funny. Toothless is my favorite.

I don't have pictures of the completed product, but they LOVE playing the game. I will make a post of just them playing it.

500th Post

This is my 500th post. it is hard to believe that I have blogged that many time. even though I have been slacking the last couple weeks, but I have had a lot of stuff going on. The second half of the year will be starting in no time and I will be updating my year to do list, and having some blog changes.

There is a lot happening and I hopefully make this blog more public and start it as a money opportunity to use for the kids school. They have their own accounts now at the bank and they are doing summer reading and every 10 books they read, they get 10 bucks. That money will go towards anything they want academically or interest.

I plan on making a birthday video of the kids tomorrow for my brother. He will be 33 on Monday. I am trying to get Samantha to learn how to sing Happy Birthday. I will be updating my book list on Tuesday and my year to do list on Wednesday. I don't know what we are going to do on the 4th. Maybe the homeschool association will have another cookout. I do have a lot of arts and crafts in mind. This week, I will be recovering my mouth more to get ready for the 10th to have my final extraction.

I am slowly starting to plan and get everything organized for Samantha school. I still have to buy her class shirt and I will be joining the homeschool association this month.

Kindergarten Prep. Work: Week 5

Samantha is actually looking forward to learning her words and I am coming up with ideas or sentences for every word to help her remember and it's going great. Every other day, it seems that we have a meltdown and I lose my patience with her, but I calm down and we keep going over and over it. We will be starting Week 6 tomorrow when she gets back from her Lowe's Workshop. Now pictures.

She did amazingly well on this

Dentist for Me! Part. 1

Today I had a dentist appointment to have 2 extractions done. It is the start of a lot of dentist appointments for me because my teeth are in bad shape. My appointment was at 8AM this morning, and I was already in a horrible mood. Cayce and I got snippy with each other.

When I got to the dentist office, I signed in and had to wait 30 minutes to be called back. I got situated quickly and they took no time in shoving needles into my cheeks. They left for it to kick in and started work on someone else. They came back and started working on my mouth only to end up having to give me more novacaine. I waited even longer after that, and by that time I had been in the chair for an hour. I was moody, tired, and hungry. My dentist came back and did the one tooth I wanted out of my head the most and started on the top.

The top is hurting like a motherfucker right now. When he started to pull that one out of my head, he had to stop because I was wincing so bad. Needless to say, I got more novacaine, and the left side of my face was starting to go numb all the way to my hairline. He told me that I wasn't playing by the rules and stuck me with the needle, and after I told him that I was a rebel, and that made the assistant and Dr. Hendrix laugh. He came back after about 15 minutes and after ALOT of pressure, he got the tooth out.

I have to go back in 2 weeks to have one more extraction and then I have to go back after that for a cleaning. Cayce is taking good care of me and I am so thankful for him. Now, time to get some rest before Cayce and the girls get home. I am happy that it is summer time and my mom was able to watch the kids for me today while I was recovering.

My Great Grandparents

Homer and Juanita Dooley

 

These two are the BEST great grandparents in the ENTIRE world. My Grandma and Grandpa Dooley. These two are the meaning of true love. My grandma died in November of last year and she was definitely the rock in my family. Life has certainly not been the same without her, but she is no longer suffering. My granddaddy has not been the same without her.

I Love You Grandpa Dooley. I Love and Miss You Grandma.

Santa Can You Teach Me How To Shag

I grow up watching shag dancing and I LOVE IT. It is the South Carolina state dance and it is perfect with any beach song or upbeat song. My mom got me hooked on the movie Shag, and I will be putting the girls in shag dance lessons. These two kids in the video are amazing and I hope my girls are as great as the little girl in the video.

Kindergarten Prep. Work: Week 4

We are still slowly working on these words. I will give Ariana and Adalyn more time to do this before they start Kindergarten and I will plan a whole lot more for this prep. work. Samantha remembers few words but not all of them. I plan on planning the first semester of her kindergarten in the two weeks after this prep work, and I am also going to get over to do some more work, so she is not going to have a break but it will be fun and gamey!

She loved this color recognition game

We watched a seasame street counting video involving space and pizza

Father's Day= BORING

The title says it all. Cayce had to work double today since he took Saturday off completely for the workshop and the birthday party. I cleaned the house with the kids and we also worked on a little homemade gift for him. My dad came over to see us since we couldn't get out to go see him. The girls kept telling him Happy Father's Day, and hugging him.

I made a pork roast for dinner. He loved it and the girls did too. We surprised him when he walked into the door with his present. We had been saving his empty beer bottles and their case so I could start on his present. The girls got his favorite types of candy an we filled the empty bottles with the candies. We decorated the box and bottles with little superhero decorations.

Even Father's day wasn't how I planned it, he stilled had a great time with our kids at the end of the night. Next year will be better.

Mikey is 3!

On Saturday, after Cayce and the girls got back from their Lowe's workshop, we headed to one of my best friend's parents house for a little birthday party. I have known Carl since middle school. He was the first friend I made on the first day. I was in 7th grade and he was in 8th. We had JROTC together in high school, and we were always called the bopsy twins because we were pretty much inseperable. He is my brother. The last time I seen him was in 2010 when I was pregnant with Ariana and Sammy was a baby. He took his uncle role very seriously and still does. He went off to war and got discharged and now suffers from PTSD. Saturday was the first time I have seen him in 4 years and I got to meet his family. The funny thing is, that right when he walked into my home, we acted like the past 4 years never happened and we went back to our old ways of cutting up an laughing. He loves the girls and they were happy to have another uncle.

Right when we got to his house, we got to eat. Samantha had hotdogs and Ariana had a hamburger. Addy had hotdogs and fruit, which Carl joked that Addy was definitely his niece because she was stuffing fruit in her mouth, and Carl was eating it right off the platter.

Her mouth was stuffed with big juicy strawberries.

Singing Happy Birthday!

 

After everyone got their cake, ice cream and brownies, all the kids and Carl, and Kim went outside to let the kids swim in the pool and play with water sprayers. It was so much fun. Cayce and I got soaked, and the girls LOVED it.

We had to restrain her from diving face first into the kiddie pool

The kids all had a great day, and was worn out after they got to build the craft. They have never volunteered to go to bed on their own. I NEED MORE DAYS LIKE THIS!!!!

Lowe's Workshop: Toothless!!

The girls had a workshop on Saturday and in honor of the new How to train your dragon movie, they decided to craft toothless. I LOVE TOOTHLESS! Cayce didn't get many pictures during the actual session because the trainer that was supposed to be helping them told them the wrong way to do it and ended up breaking and cracking the legs.

But they still have their own toothless and they made them on Saturday night after our exciting day. We also went to a birthday party for one of my best friend's son who turned 3. That will be posted later. Now picture time!

The patches.
