2018

Camden is in 3rd grade at this time. I always park the car and walk both boys into school in the morning. Camden is growing up too fast and wanted me to pull up and let them out of the car in the drop off line He groaned, "Mom! Why aren't you dropping me off through the drive-thru!"...

Camden and I love that he's left handed. He takes it a little too literally though. Kellan was being a little imp, and Camden yelled, "Aha! I caught you right handed! See if you would have caught me it would be - I caught you LEFT handed". I think he means 'red' handed, but imma let this one slide...

I'm so Blessed to be able to send the boys to Catholic school Where do I draw the line at their ability to point out when God's at work though? I lost my glasses, and Kellan knowingly said, "That's God teaching you a lesson"...

The boys were peacefully in their beds and I finally sat down to regroup. A few minutes later, a not so quiet cow, tip toed out. He gauged my mood to see if I would be mad that he snuck out, or would allow this. I was too exhausted to decide. He took that as an I'll allow it and crawled into my lap to snuggle. I was just enjoying this precious moment with my son and getting ready to put his butt back in bed. He turned to me aghast and said, "Mom! We can't watch The Golden Girls! I don't like the language they use!" I doubt he'll ever say that again with how fast this little kid was put back to bed. :)

I gave the boys a night apart. I can't remember which one went to stay with Grammy and which one had to suffer at home with me. I thought they may need a little break. I love that they have each other and are so close - and I think little breaks will help keep it that way. We were just settling in for a Mom and Son night when FaceTime started ringing. It was brother calling brother. I let them talk and have their fun then realized - a break from each other was the whole point of this! Guess they didn't need a break! Best brothers ever!

We all sat down to relax on the couch. I turned on the TV and hit launch for Direct TV. Kellan, being the evil genius science boy he is, looked at me wide-eyed and asked if I just launched a missile...

Sigh... Kellan just asked me to microwave his ice cream... Sigh...
