somewhat daily ramblings about my life in general in hopes that some day I don't look back on it all and check myself in.

Movin on up!

So this week Nugget and Boo were to begin and slow transition to their new classrooms at daycare. Boo is moving up to pre-K for the rest of the summer and Nugget was moving in to the classroom right next to Boo.  Once Nugget got to his new room he was not leaving - there was no “transition”.  He loved it and refused to return to his old classroom. 

The reason he loves it? Not only is he right next door to Boo and can see him all day long, he gets to recess with him, he now gets to go on all field trips and he starts gymnastics at the FlipZone next week. He actually WANTED to go to school today and was telling hubs to get into the truck to leave. I thought for sure the apocalypse was coming- no way he WANTED to go to school.

The perk for me out of all of this? He dresses himself now instead of making me do it. I told him he couldn’t move up to the next class unless he started dressing himself.  I haven’t had to do it once since then.

God help his new teacher, if he rules that classroom the way he tries to rule the house she’s in for a challenge.


Nugget: “Look mommy! Its an alien!”
I was thinking more Picasso.

As the director said, we’ll go to many more graduations but none as cute as this.  100% correct.

Boo graduated from preschool last night.  A lot of pomp and circumstance for a bunch of 5 and 6 year olds- cap, gown and all.  He did a great job - so proud.  More pics to come.

Check out the courtesy hug he gives to his little brother at the end.

Boo’s 5th b-day party was on Saturday. To call it a labor of love would be a huge under statement. A pirate themed party complete with a treasure hunt. Homemade invites with the edges burnt, gold spray painted rocks to dig up, a plank to walk, a hideout to invade and much more.  17 screaming kids for 2 hours. Was it a success? Absolutely. Will it ever be done again? No way. Mommy needed a cold cocktail and a hot tub after this one.


6 years yesterday. Holla!

Nugget using an electronic drum stick as a ”gun” to shoot down the deer in our back field - machine gun style - cause thats how he rolls.


Wise beyond years

  • After hubs hangs up the phone with a potential job prospect.
  • Boo: Who was that daddy?
  • Hubs: Rusty, a guy I'm thinking about going to work for.
  • Boo: Can ya trust him?
  • Amazing how in tune a 5 year old can be when he has no idea what is really going on.

It’s Boo’s 5th birthday today. I couldn’t be more proud of my little guy. He is so well behaved and polite. He is loving and considerate. He has the best smile that brightens my every morning.  And he is becoming the best big brother - Nugget is so lucky.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BOO BEAR!!
