Bobby Newberry - Dirrty Up



This song got my attention when I was watching Yanis Marshall Choreography youtube videos a few weeks ago. This is one of the songs that he danced to and I liked the song. I tried looking for it on Spotify, but it wasn't on there, and youtube was the only way for me to listen to the whole song.

Happy 7 Years Cayce!!!

Today was a great day overall. The only thing that made it unbearable was the weather. It has been raining here for the last 3-4 days and I am getting some serious cabin fever. I need to get out of this house.

The morning started off with getting to sleep a little later than usual, and Cayce got the kids situated so I didn't have to, which was nice. He then ordered us some lunch from IHOP. I, of course got my usual philly cheese steak and fries. YUMM!!!


 He also wanted to go by wal-mart and get my gift. He took Sammy with him and she helped pick out my flowers.

 I also got a box of Ferrero Rocher chocolates. I am a sucked for those. They are my weakness. He got me 2 cards and my favorite one was of Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head. That picture is on my Instagram. 

We ended up being stuck at home for the rest of the day because of the rain. So every anniversary, we have spent at home. Not ideal, but it happens. I would love to take a trip or just get out to somewhere special, but it never happens. For dinner, we made a bangin chicken and dumplings and I would make it again in a heartbeat. If my kids can inhale it and ask for more, I know it was definitely delicious.

Later that night when the kids were in bed, Cayce went by the gas station and picked us up some Nesquick limited edition girl scout cookie milks. My favorite is of course the caramel coconut.

KIndergarten: Week 5

This week was some serious fun. We got some great laughs out of the week and it was memorable. We did a lot of crafts and one was a very particular favorite on Facebook and Instagram and the subject of said craft was even made fun of at work......hehehe, I guess we all know who that person is. Sorry Cayce! Picture Time!!

Here is said craft


she had to draw daddy for the letter D. I had to print this picture because as soon as I read how to do the craft, this pic automatically popped into mind, and the picture in general turned out GREAT. it got so many likes on my Facebook and Instagram as soon as it was posted and that night when Cayce got home, he busted out laughing because he had heard about it at work from Budd because I tagged Cayce to it and I guess Budd didn't show him. The next day, his supervisor called it a GREAT LIKENESS. It was amazing.

Proud




Since she was doing the letter D this week, I had to show her this Robin Williams dinosaur scene. This is one of my favorite scenes from the movie Mrs. Doubtfire, and she loved it too and laughed at the raptor rap. She is learning from the classics.




We started our unit on baby animals this week and I finally found her some more color by numbers. I have a feeling that that's one of the things she is going to be wanting for Christmas because everyday she asks me for some color by number pages.


she made a circle dog.

I am going to use my Facebook caption that I put with this because it is seriously true.
"The world now has one more school house rock fan!"

Remembering September 11th, 2001

My status update on Facebook today:
 
 
"Sammy has her first day off from school today. I don't understand why kids are sent to school on this day. when I went, my teachers sure as hell didn't talk about what happened, they treated it like any other normal day. I told Sammy the best I could yesterday about what happened and this is her summary. bad men took planes and flew them into buildings and hurt a lot of people and that they were mean. I still remember that day like it was yesterday. I was in 5th grade and sitting in Ms. Bolen's homeroom class, and we not being told about it till 2:30 that afternoon. As long as I homeschool my kids, my kids will always have this day off and Cayce and I will not ignore it! NEVER FORGET! 9/11"

Kindergarten: Week 4

This week is our 4th week of homeschooling and also the 1st week of September. I am happy that it is a new month, usually I hate the months passing by so quickly, but I am not even worried about it because I can't wait for Sammy to learn more and the holidays. We did school on Labor day when everyone else went, but whatever. Cayce got to see her in action while he was off work for the holiday and he was very impressed. We got to make lots of crafts and she got to play with her counting bears. I even went back into lessons from her prep. curriculum and letter curriculum to do since she has a better understanding than she did the first time. it was amazing seeing her progress in front of my eyes and I will definitely keep going back to those.

PICTURE TIME!!!!!!

she made a little army of bears

everybody's favorite beaver on Instagram
