The Sleeping Cap

Well, since I made the Lion costume, Braceland put in his second request. He wanted a sleeping cap just like Thomas the Tank Engine wears when he goes to sleep in his shed. He mentioned it, and I somewhat laughed to myself and thought this will pass. It didn't. He reminded me every other day about it. I picked him up from school and he asked could we go pick out the fabric. He chose the fabric (had to be soft and blue) and the pom poms on the end. We went home and "Martha Stewart" whipped out the sewing machine. It really was fun to do. He was so excited and has worn it the last 2 nights, all night. He thinks it is the best!!!! Of course, that smile for me makes me so happy and thankful for the simple things in life.

Taking care of Brownie

I downloaded some pics that I took over the weekend. The little brown dog is Braceland's Webkinz "Brownie". Brownie became sick Friday evening. Braceland went to bed with an ice block on Brownie's head and insisted that he was still sick on Saturday morning. Braceland was playing games on the computer and taking really good care of Brownie. He took him to visit Dr. Quack on the Webkinz website and the Dr. said he should start to feel better Saturday afternoon. With techonology, there is endless entertainment. The imagination can go on and on.

First Day of School 5K

Braceland was great. The second picture is Braceland and his new teacher, Mrs. Kinsey.
He did not even turn around to wave bye to me and all the other Moms left behind.

On The Big Stage

The "Elephant Child" play was a hit. The children were so cute and if they were nervous, it did not show. Both performances on Friday were sold out, lots of proud parents, grandparents and friends. Just before the last performance, the other lion fell back stage and injured her head. The teacher told Braceland that he had to do her lines and his lines along with the lines of the other lion who was sick. He did great, he knew all of their lines as well. The little girl behind Braceland in the pictures int he tie dyed shirt is Emily. They have been in class together at USC and St. Joseph since they were 6 months old. The are great buddies. After the play, the actors and actresses signed programs and everyone was able to get pictures of our now famous little ones.

Boys Will Be Boys

Sunday afternoon in the pool. I just try to stay out of the line of fire on my float. I am not always successful.
