What a weekend we had!! We are playing catch up on our rest and list of things to do. I was shocked this morning when I rolled over and looked at the clock and it said 8:45. My sweet baby boy normally doesn't sleep past 7 a.m. I let him sleep out on the sofa bed with me last night and we both slept like champs. My favorite Aunt from Maryland is here visiting for a few days and I was nice enough to give up my bed for her! She said she slept like a rock last night too!

Today and the rest of this week have just been a typical routine for us. Same ole, Same ole, Preschool, College, Dance Studio, being a Mommy and playing house with Grammie and Bobo!
We're missing the Hubs a lot this week. It's been pretty rainy weather and its those days that we just want to curl up on the couch with him and just cuddle with a good movie. Of course we miss him everyday, but more some days! Grammy took all of us to lunch today (Me, Clark, Jack-Jack and Nellie) at Mama Rosa's and boy was it good. Once we were stuffed we headed over to the mall for a SHORT trip so I could spend my Gymbobucks! After the mall we headed over to Clark's favorite store...Wal-Mart. Again, it was a short trip because the weather was so nasty all afternoon. We joke and tell Jack-Jack every time she comes to visit she brings the bad weather with her.

Tomorrow Clark will be seeing the firetrucks at school and it's all he's talked about tonight. He cried before bed because he wanted the "twucks". I guess I should have waited until tomorrow to tell him. Lesson Learned!!! He's in bed now and not sleeping very good at all. I hope that this isn't a sign of how our entire night is going to be. Last night must have been too good to be true.

Side Note: The Special Steppers Classes (2) have started at Kelly School of Dance and I'm hoping that I can do a blog tomorrow night with photos of the students. I am so excited to be a part of their lives. It is such a blessing to me to be teaching them each week. They are so special to me and just make my whole week! Until you've worked with students with special needs you will never know the joy they can bring into your life! If any of you out there may be interested or know of another individual or buisness that may be interested in Sponsoring a Special Stepper please let me know. We are currently looking for sponsors for our 15 dancers.

Come back tomorrow for a closer look at the Special Steppers from TAPS, Inc.

WE LOVE and MISS YOU BREEZY BABY!!!

Take A Peek at Our Week

• 

The way to Your Mommy's Heart.
"this one's just for you daddy!"

Wait for me, I'm almost there.

1 Hour later and we're still in our undies, but no accident yet!

Proud as can be and still enjoying himself outside on Grammy's patio.

Uh Oh. Clark trying to figure out where the "wawer" was coming from. Then he realized he had made it from his "peanut"

So, i've had a rocky week. Not bad (besides failing a Science test) just very very busy. Here's a little run down of our week just to give you an idea

Monday: we had the morning off (thank goodness), but we had alot to do around the house for Grammy. I had to teach at KSD from 4-830 then it was home to get the monster in bed...Finally at 11 p.m. he went to sleep. Whoa I was pooped!

Tuesday: Up at 6 a.m. Clark had PS from 8-11. He didn't want to get out of bed. We were 30 minutes late for school. I hate being the last one to arrive anywhere. I went to bible study from 9-11, picked Clarke up and came home to rest before heading off to the dance studio. I taught from 4-815 then came home to get Clarke in bed and studied until 11 p.m.

Wednesday: Up at 5:30 a.m. to study more for the 2 test I was to take at 8 a.m. and 9:45. Drove to Enterprise took test came home, fixed lunch and got myself a little more presentable for the day. Had to go to Dothan with a cranky toddler to shop for birthday presents and to the bank. Was in bed by 8:30 p.m. I was so darn pooped. This weather makes me feel so relaxed in the evenings.

Thursday: Up at 6:30. Clark at school at 8 a.m. I went to the Shoppette to pick up some things to mail to Hubs, went to the PX to get more cards to send, went to the library, and at 11 picked Clarke back up. Got home at 1130, put Clark in bed for a nap, tried to get a hold of FRG leader to find out whats going on with the Hubs while hes saving the world. Was relieved to find out that he is indeed just fine. No telephone/internet response though for a few days. Taught at the studio from 2 p.m until 7:30. Picked up dinner at LaBamba, ate, put Clarke to bed with a little Dora and now here I am.

And Here he is right now with the dog bed once again. Wearing his new GAP jammies They say "Rock Around the Croc".


Side Note: Also see that blanket he's holding. I need another one just like this, if anyone sees one around Dothan, PLEASE let me know. This one came from Custom Stitches.

I am taking the day off tommorrow to work in the yard with Clark to get ready for his big birthday party next weekend. We've got lots to do to get ready :-) Tommorrow will be the first day in almost 15 days that we'll be staying at home ALL day long. I am so excitied.

P.S. Please pray for the Families of the soldiers that were involved in the CH-47 Helicopter Crash near Balad. Please also pray for the soldiers and their faimilies that will be involved in the recovery/investigation of the crash.

Adult Tap Classes at the Kelly School of Dance

Let me just tell you I taught my first Adult tap class last night and it was so much fun. I'll be honest with you guys though, to go from teaching my preschoolers and 5-8 year olds to adults....it actually kinda kicked my butt. I had to work just as hard as they were. That's not a bad thing though by any means. I told the sweet sweet ladies that at the rate we were going already we'd all be 10 pounds lighter by Christmas.

So, this is my invitation for you to come join us on Monday nights at the Kelly School of dance from 7:30-8:30. Cost is 40.00 per month for (4) 1 hour sessions. You can't beat that.
