Started off and ended sick

This is a fact:  Someone seems to always be sick around here.  Thursday morning, let's say 1:30 AMish Annie woke up crying and had over a 100 degree temperature.  By 7:15 that morning it was 101.4.  I debated on whether or not to take her to the doctor, but I finally caved and went.  No strep.  No flu.  Just viral.

Meanwhile, Bitty's class had CIRCUS DAY!!!!!!!  This day was complete with circus type snacks, tunnels, and balance beams!

Friday we decided we should go to Oxford to visit Granddaddy in the VA.  When I say he can't hear, I mean he can't hear.  I had to type everything out for him.  The kids also all needed to push.  Annie won, of course!

Friday afternoon Bitty loaded up his wheel barrow with wood for a fire pit fun night of s'more roasting.  However, we went to eat with Puddin and Pops instead that night.

Saturday night we finally got to roast those bad boys in the freezing cold.

I'm guessing he loved it!?!?!?

Ford got roped.  Yep, like a cow.  I guess he won't play that game again.

Sunday morning, which is today, Bitty walked downstairs looking MAD.  I immediately noticed his red cheeks and he had 101.6.  That's how we roll....someone is ALWAYS sick.

Oh and Fancy has a red eye.  I mean it's not pink eye, but it's funky red.  Everyone is falling apart.  Annie sick on Thursday, Ford got roped, Bitty is sick on Sunday, and Trey has a blood red eye.  I, on the other hand, knock on wood,... am headed to another country if anyone else gets sick!

PRAY FOR US!!!!!!!!!!!

Birthdays and Buttercups

You know that saying, "The days are long, but the years are short"?  Well, it kind of gets on my nerves like when people post pictures of their kids and then say "Time please slow down!!!"  Well, even though those phrases bug, it's the dang truth.  Here we have completed 3 semesters of the school year and before I know it, it'll be August and they'll be that much older.  So while they're still small and love me I plan to see them at school as much as possible.  Like this week I went to Bitty's class for Mrs. Kristy's birthday celebration.

Since she is the 3k assistant, we had both classes join for snacks.

And Sister came.  She wants to go to "cool" (school) so badly.

Our "geer", Anna Greer, gave Annie a frostie the other day.  I believe she loved it!

My boys' hair grows ridiculously fast!  I literally make hair appointments monthly for a cut.  This week we went much shorter and Bitty even let her spike it.

Ford too

What can you do to make Jill's blood pressure go up?  Take Annie to Wal-Mart!!!!

Handyman Bitty hooked his wheel barrow to the back of his truck and picked up sticks.

And Ford did his homework.

Y'all have heard of my LOVE for the Dollar Tree.  Well, I was in there the other day and spotted a hummingbird feeder.  Apparently Annie spotted them too because she tossed one in my basket.  I smiled because my mom loved hummingbirds and fed them religiously.  While I might not be as consistent in my bird feedings, I plan to try because they'll make me think of her.

And I LOVE when she pops up on my Timehop.....

Bitty, the field trip planner

So, we have these neighbors across the street who are also family that have all things Bitty loves.  They have dogs, cows, tractors, fences and gates, horses, trailers, rangers, and mud.  Sweet Uncle TA calls to get Bitty to help him check cows several times a week.  Well, Bitty decided he'd bring ALL of his 3K friends to the farm to see all his stuff.

 TA and Pam fixed a hayride for the little tikes...

 The 3K teachers came and a few moms....and Sister.

 This day was purely thrilling to Bitty who wants to be a farm helper when he grows up!

 He was the gate opener...

 I rode in the ranger with some other adults...

 Annie LOVES the cows, but she prefers to view them from a distance.

 She got to drive the tractor.

 This momma had a baby cow a few hours before we came by.

 Thanks Aunt Pam and Uncle TA for a GREAT day at the farm.

 After the farm we headed across the street to my house for snacks.  Annie greeted each visitor...

We snacked in the garage.

What a BIG day on the farm!

 Last night we went to support The Baddour Center at the third annual Dancing FOR Our Stars.

 And while we were gone Anna Greer text to say that Ford lost a tooth.  Mind you it wasn't loose when we left!

 Some people don't do mornings and juice from a coffee cup helps.

 Annie felt very diva-like today at Puddin and Pops's house for lunch.

 And we mustn't sleep without someone from the Club House!
