I made my wish AGAIN yesterday and it came true right away!
What? Have you NEVER made a wish at 11:11? Randy has NEVER heard of it!
But see what wish came true for me on Easter Sunday!
The children of Benton Elementary had their Art Show last night and, I have to say, the creations were amazing!
Anderson invited me and his grandparents, Daryl and Sylvia, to see his work last night along with Bradley's. Chad and Brad couldn't go because he had baseball practice but we made sure to find his piece, too!
Anderson had a big question to ask us on the way home from Nama and Grandpa's yesterday.
"Mama, can we please stop at Petco and get me a hamster? Bradley and Jayden have one. I'd like one, too!"
Chad and I looked at each other.
Here we go....
Yesterday, we went shopping at Walmart in Waterville to get just a few things. This was around 4:45. The parking lot was light in cars so we thought we would have a quick trip in and out.
That was not the case.
Unfortunately, a trip that would have taken a half hour took an hour and and 45 minutes! BUT...there is something wonderful that happened while in line. Something that made the trip all wor
The kids are really going to town on their story books. They get more and more creative with each one.
I will decipher them for you because, well, Jayden is only 6 and Anderson is 7. They have come along way with their spelling! Just a year ago, Jayden could barely read so for her to be writing these stories is quite remarkable!
Last week, Anderson told his teacher at Benton Elementary, Mrs. Walston, that he was going to bring the class muffins for his sharing time next week.
Next week is here and yesterday afternoon, he was the best baker ever!
But why did he decide to make muffins? Because he loves to read! Here's what happened.
Big day! BIG DAY!!
I take every first day of school off for Anderson because it is the start of his new adventure!
And, of course, this mama cried...a little.
There are some moments you look forward to. Some that you wait for, very patiently. And when they happen, it's like the angels start singing!
And Anderson had one of those moments yesterday.
What's the least expensive way to have fun with children? And the most fun?
FISHING!
What better way to get the kids out of the house, off their video games and out of the junk food? Spending time with your kids is easy!
He crept into our room yesterday morning at 5am and whispered "Mama, just wanted to tell you we have our field trip today."
Can you tell he was excited?
And who could blame him. So was I!
Being a Mom is incredible. You have experiences you never thought you would have and you wish you could remember each and every one of them.
I had one of those such moments yesterday.
It's not really rocket science...but it IS science!
I was at Lux Salon in Hallowell getting my hair done by Olivia when we started talking about wedding plans and flowers.
I want colored daisies and Nathan said "You can do that at home". I can? How?
Nothing worries a mother more than seeing their child sick or hurt. So when Anderson started having these weird fevers, yes, I worried. Who wouldn't? That's my little boy.
To find some answers we took him to an allergist who suggested we take him to a rheumatoid specialist. Off to Portland we went!
School was cancelled and Chad was on his way to work in Auburn so we decided to have Anderson join us on B98.5!
No, it's not bring your child to work day but for me it was!
When you get that phone call from the school nurse, your heart starts to race, doesn't it? I got that phone call Tuesday saying Anderson had a small rash on his forehead, probably from his hat. I knew that wasn't what that rash was from. He had had it before. Oh no.
