A BIG THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP AND LOVE!
The gifts were FABULOUS! You are the most special people in the world!

* THE Snowsuit

"GOSH"... this boy is too "dang" funny! His mom sent him with his NEW snowsuit to school. She said: "It's for recess."

The next day, he was getting ready for school. His mom said, "Where is your snowsuit?" He said: "I left it at school in the lunch room." Students go to recess, wash up, and then go to lunch, wearing their snowgear.

Mom said: "Did you take your snowsuit off after recess before you ate your lunch?"

"No, I didn't wear my snowsuit at recess, I carried it."

Sure enough! The new snowsuit was found in the lunchroom, wet and covered with mud. He had indeed been carrying it around at recess, dragging it along the snow and through the mud. This 8 year old boy is SUPER SMART... but sometimes common sense is ....aaaa.... "missing!"

This is a photo of him "WEARING HIS SNOWSUIT" the next day!
I love this BOY!

**PS... Another time, he told his mom his suit was too tight and it hurt him when he wore it. Then he asked earnestly, "Are you suppose to put the straps on the outside of your coat, or should I put my coat on over my snowpants?" CUTE!

* Toddler Rules !

This little boy's daddy bought him this shirt. I have read these rules before (found an extended version, listed below) and have watched lots of little kidd-0's over the years LIVE these LAWS of PROPERTY. Enjoy! I love, love, LOVE this little guy. I tried to get him to talk more. He's just 2... and he talks alot... thoughtful and downright 6 year old sentences. Thanks for letting me share this little guy with you!

A rare photo! Here I am on Spirit Day at the school. I am the year book photographer... rarely do I get my photo taken! LOL. But, someone caught me with their camera and posted these two pictures on the Share Drive at school. Nothing like getting caught hugging our mascot, Panther!

* Kyle

Dearest Kyle,

I just wanted to write and let you know how much I love you.

You are all that a mom could ever hope for in a son. As I grow older (I still feel young!) I am ever grateful for a son like you who will take over if and when I might need help. You are so patient.... a quality that is a rare gift! Thanks for loving us with all our imperfections.

I adore Chrissy. She has always been so kind to me and the family. I love it when I see you two smile at each other...when life isn't so stressful.......... Let me take the boys sometime so you can go out together...time well spent!

Your boys are beautiful in every way. I love them with all my heart. I love watching you be a dad. You are an awesome dad, and I love to see the love the boys have for you.

Well, I guess that is all the mush I wanted to s

end for today.

Lots of Hugs!

Stay healthy, be overly helpful, and take care of the minutes because they quickly are gone.

I love you,

Mom
