Faye is here no school....

Well, the boys have been home since Wednesday due to hurricane Faye! We were in the eye of the storm, watching as all the counties around us flooded.. Meanwhile, we are stuck at home luckily we have a pool & we got out in it.

However, today, we have RAIN. It's like POURING down! Mind you this is day 3 for us all stuck in our modest 3 bedroom house... I see it like a hen house.... The roosters walking around strutting their stuff... Well now imagine 2 boys who have recently reached maybe an inch taller than their dad! I have yet to see any of them walk past each other without buckin up! LOL! Nose to nose, the boys calling him "short stack" All in fun of course. For now they are very respectful fine young men. As for me, they look over top my head and say, "did you hear something?" HA! Real funny, to make fun of their 5'3" mamma!

They don't know it, but today is GAME day. How long has it been since you sat down and played a board game! Then I plan to prepare my workshops for Halloween and Thanksgiving! Sounds like a great day to me!!

Senior Photo Shoot

I took my oldest son to have his "senior" photo shoot. WOW! It sank in, my oldest baby will be heading out to the big bad world soon! Have I done a good job? Will he be ready? Will he succeed? UGH! My mind was swirling with questions & doubts...

Being the big bad boy that he is, we only got the basic photo shoot(thank goodness) it was only $25.00 opposed to $100+. When he came around the corner with the cap and gown, I teared up... I know this year will go fast. I plan to capture every moment and cherish our time.

Oh, did I mention I also have a freshman this year? You guessed it, poor little fella (who is already 6'1") is getting TONS of attention due to the fear of empty nest syndrome!!

School started on the 18th & I am already behind! Come along with me this year as I document the highs and lows of the coming of age.
