3 Crazy Days

So my baby boy left at 5 AM today for his first school trip.  His grade is going to Jekyll Island 4H for 3 days.  This is the first time Addison has gone anywhere without me or family.  I love his teacher and his 2nd grade teacher is there too so I know he will be fine.  But they were not allowed to take cell phones so I won't be able to talk to him everyday.  My mom brain keeps wondering if he's ok and if he needed me could I feel it.

He's growing up so fast.  This is the start of sleep away camp when he's gone for a month.  And going to Washington DC or Disney World with out me. I guess I have to realize if he's going to compete in diving and swimming there will be out of state meets.  So this is the beginning of his independence.  I think I better start working on having another baby.  :)  Maybe a girl this time so she will really never leave me.  Wait!!!  Slap me please, I am not ready to have another screaming new born baby.  And definitely not ready to be pregnant again.  UGH!!

Look at that smirk.  He's like "Peace out Lady".  I'll be in college soon.

Addison and Kevin look way too happy.  The food better be horrible there.

Well, I still have class to keep me busy.  But I will be baking for the next 3 days to keep me calm.  I think I'm going to look up recipes for cupcakes for dogs.  Yes, I know I have gone crazy.

Happy Valentine's Day

So I have been planning for a month about what I was going to  make for Valentine's Day.   I ordered everything early and started making cards.  Well, guess what Addison is sick.  Since Addison is sick he didn't go to school today.  So I did not bake yesterday or finish the cards.  So I am officially moving Valentine's Day to next Monday.  Addison class WILL get their candy and his teachers WILL get their fresh baked goods.  Oh and I will mail out all the cards by this week.  Things happen and I think it will be just as special next Monday.

Here are some pictures of what's happening in Addison's sick bed.

Isn't Luna a great nurse?

Doesn't he look so sad?

I can't believe all of them can fit in Addison's bed.  At night the cat usually joins.  I feel sorry for Addison's future wife. He will think it's normal for 3 animals to sleep in the bed with them.

Oh and I did get flowers, of course.  JT gets me flowers every Friday so I guess they are not really Valentine's Day flowers.  I love fresh cut flowers in the house.  I swear flowers relax and brighten our house. 

Well, I have done all my school work for tomorrow so I'm going to rent a movie and enjoy a relaxing night.
