St. Jude Week

You know there are some weeks that are crazier than others? Well, we’ve been having that around here. If I weren’t married to a legislator, I wouldn’t know that Mississippi just spent lots of days in a special session. Since I am married to one, I do know that. My life doesn’t allow time for watching the news or reading the news, so if someone doesn’t tell me or I don’t read it on my Facebook newsfeed then I don’t have a clue. Two weeks ago Trey was in Jackson on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. He came home for the weekend and went back the next week on Monday- Wednesday. These were two bad weeks for him to be gone. The first week I had early duty and the second week was St. Jude week, which meant we dressed up every day. Nothing like that alarm clock going off at 4:45 AM to let you know you’re proud to be an American!!!!!

My favorite room in our house is my closet, which my family likes to occupy sometimes. You hang a right and it keeps going to my shoe collection. I told Trey I wanted a big pink closet when we built our house. Bitty was helping Fancy workout!

St. Jude Day 1- Jersey Day....

Monday night Annie started forevermore pitching a fit over her ears. I hated to miss school for an ear infection since they aren't contagious and I only get 4 days off a year, so Puddin came to the rescue and took her to the doctor.

Hold me momma!!!!!

Day 2 was Cowboys and Indians....Ford didn't participate.

I love when I get pictures of my babies at school. One day Annie's nose will hold those glasses up!

Annie, Emery, and Dove

One night while Trey was gone I let Bitty sleep with me. At 1:00 Annie joined us. When I woke up at 5:00, I found Ford next to me. No clue when he wiggled his way in there.

Day 3 was color day.... 3k-5k was green and third grade was yellow.

The only yellow I own.... I have had these since college!!!!!!!

Wednesday was also my basketball day. I didn't play basketball. I don't really know anything much about the sport, but they insisted that I play. I'll do whatever to help the kids of St. Jude.

It was full court.... there was a mix of males and females.

Some people were out for blood!

I shot twice and missed, stole the ball from the ladies basketball coach and got hit in the head!

Cardinal vs. Navy.... we won 28-19!!! And the school raised around $19,000!!!!!!!!!

Thursday was Hawaiian day! The night before we were trying to find as much Hawaiian attire as possible. Somehow during that process Annie got confused. On Thursday I told her to come get dressed for school. She gave me the death look and said she wasn't going to school. I sort of gave it right back and said she was! She said, "You told me we were going to Hawaii!!!!!!!!!" That's a let down if there ever was one!
