Cam's obsession with Trash...

Camden has been OBSESSED, and I mean OBSESSED with garbage trucks and trash.(This is one phase I have not been through before with Redding and Sullivan). He is such a little helper with getting the trash taken out for me, but sometimes gets upset if he thinks it's time to empty it and I feel we still have more room to stuff a few more things in it. Here lately his morning ritual has been to cut up the advertisements from the newspaper and make trash for his garbage trucks to pick up and take to the dump site. This will occupy him for HOURS throughout the day. It gives me a chance to get a few things done, but he has a real difficult time putting the dump site trash in the "real" trash can at the end of the day. So I have been known to let him keep it and add to it daily... which makes for a very large area of my dinning room to be covered with his trash. But, oh the hours and days of joy it brings him. Who said trash couldn't be wonderful?

First Day of School...a day late!

As I had said earlier we skipped the first day of school and showed up on the second day. Redding switched schools and is now in the 4th grade at the Intermediate. Sullivan is now in 1st. They both had a great 1st day, and we are in full swing of 6 am wake-ups, to have the bus arrive at our house at 6:40...way to early for mama here!(I am soooo not a morning person). Let the ever so busy schedules begin!

Our last summer Hoo-rah!!

We went on our last summer hoo-rah this past week with our Kay Kay, Aunt Toto, cousins Luke & Laney and headed back to The Grand Hotel at Point Clear. We enjoyed some much needed time away to relax, play and catch a few rays. We all enjoyed morning bike rides, kayaking, riding wave runners, swimming at the pool, and enjoying the beach at bay area each day together. It was hot, but fun! It was sooo much fun, the boys and I were talked into staying an extra day and missing the first day of school...for those of you who really know me, it doesn't take much "peer pressure" for me to skip school...Ha! Well worth it though, we were able to spend quality time with our Kay Kay!
