Sox.....

Baylee and her fellow travel team members have decided to play as the Sox this fall and next spring. They have played as the Gator Girlz, the Kreepers and now the Sox as a tribute to some of their dads who played slow-pitch softball in the 90's and were really quite good playing all over the state of Tennessee.

Rattlesnake – Sonoran Desert

Hayden has been under the weather and missed Tuesday of school. Last year, Hayden and Maycee both had perfect attendance for the entire year. I think that is awesome considering they were in 2nd and Kindergarten. I am just hoping that this is the only day he misses. This is the child that hates the doctor’s office and cannot swallow medicine without throwing up. Needless to say we were at the doctor twice – once when they opened to get an antibiotic and once immediately after lunch when he threw up the first dose of amoxicillin. I gave him the options – 19 more times of that or a quick shot. Smart boy chose the shot that lasted only 13 seconds and we know that because he counted….and we are much better!

I guess I have been in a fog lately because I have thought all week that next Monday was September 17th giving us an extra weekend to prepare a diorama on rattlesnakes in the desert. Last night at roughly 11:00, I (oops – I mean we :) ) finished the project and here it is……I only have two blisters from the glue gun and a complete mess on the kitchen table, countertop and floor…………BUT it is finished and turned in today! Hayden – I so enjoyed spending time with you on this and I think I learned more about the Sonoran Desert than you!

It is official....

I have begun shopping for Christmas. My first gift came in the mail today from one of my most favorite places...Shutterfly.

At this time, they are having a great sale on Christmas cards and photo books. Last year I did not even get to send cards, but THIS YEAR my cards are already designed and on the way to me for safekeeping until December 1.

Hope everyone has a safe and family-filled weekend! We are off to Cullman tomorrow for a little bit of fall softball action with Baylee's 16U team called the Sox.
