School Lunch!

Caroline loves for us to have lunch with her at school.

Let me give you a little background information!

Lunch in the Rhea Elementary cafeteria is comparable to lunch at boot camp.

NO TALKING and the lunch ladies carry sticks. (OK they don't but they might as well)

So when you have a visitor for lunch you get to sit on the stage behind the curtain and..... talk!

Chip has been trying to get there for pepperoni pizza day with no luck.

 He settled for corn dog day!

 These two NEVER get to see each other at school anymore..

So MAM and I plotted to have lunch on the same day and talk the whole time!

 It was the turkey and dressing day to celebrate Thanksgiving!

OH my barf it was gross... but the memories were good!

The Splits!

Caroline tested for her blue belt last week.

She also did the splits in front of her class to get her "splits patch"

 Maybe gymnastics is paying off!

I can assure you I never did the splits.... EVER!

She did a lot of stuff in between the splits and getting her belt but you have seen it all before!

 Here she is getting her belt!

 Mr. Zachary tying it on.

 Caroline is really into doing her own hair these days...

So in the next several posts just keep that in mind.

I was worked up about it for about 10 min and then realized I had bigger fish to fry.

 Two of my favorite girls!

 The group that got "promoted" this month!

 CEK and Master Dinh!

And a mini Master Dinh...

These girls think Christian is about the coolest thing since sliced bread!

Halloween

We carved pumpkins this year and if it had been a contest we would have won...

I'm just saying!

These two brought power tools!

Callie carved a Mockingjay...if you don't know what that is then you have been living under a rock.

These two carved a mummy.

I believe it was CEK's choice because it had way more detail than Chip would normally be interested it doing.

No plan for the Richardsons they just started carving free hand....WHAAAAAT? How 1985 :)

Saturday after Theo's birthday we headed over to Dover for the Halloween carnival!

CEK opted out of purchasing a new costume this year...

Thank God!

She rocked the queen suit from last year!

We stopped by the McDonalds booth!

Our employees worked very hard to put together!

Our favorite Chief of Police!

They announced a costume contest and CEK nearly knocked down small children to get to the stage.

I allowed this because I thought it would be a great time for CEK to lose!

Do you think this precious child lost?

Nope took 2nd Place!

Halloween night she rocked the Dorothy suit from last year!

And she rocked it well!

We hung with the Richardson boys!

Ran into our favorite Dr.

This woman deserves a medal for putting up with me a a patients mother.

She should charge me therapy rates!

CeeCee was a key piece of our costume!

Wrapping up the night with counting and sorting!

Birthday Parties!

We like a birthday party around here.  We like to have them and we like to go to them!

We had a few a couple weeks ago... here is the highlight reel.

Skylar had a costume themed tea party...

This included many a look from friends!

We were not great planners so we went with the punk look!

(This is pre hair color, picture purple, pink, green, etc.)

Then once at the party the girls had fancy stuff available to them.

Who doesn't love a boa?

I don't think this sweet birthday girl needed any other accessories!

Madonna 1985 meets the lead singer of the Bangles during her "Walk Like an Egyptian" video.

AKA - Caroline and Briley, both rocking some eye shadow colors that their mothers should not own.

Speaking of BAM and MAM.

Here we are on the way to gymnastics...after dropping BAM off at MAM's office.

MAM is such a germaphobe that she wears this entire paper suit while cleaning teeth.

Caroline got this little face mask while spending 14 seconds with the germaphobe.

Moving on.... CeeCee had her first birthday.

As you know Santa brought CeeCee a little early last year...

He also left her papers so that we would know when she was born yada yada yada.

Last week was the day.

Callie and Lee came over and helped decorate...

The birthday dog was less thrilled than her Mama about this party!

Lee is always up for cake.

This is the exact cake I was told to purchase from Wal-Mart while CEK was in school.

Again, CEK a little more excited!

CeeCee's BFF Olive came over from across the street!

You can't see her very well, but she is half the size of CeeCee.

CeeCee received a few new bones and some chew toys!

Chip talked to Olive about not being jealous!

Her birthday is just around the corner.

We wrapped up the party and are already planning next years event!

Now for Theo...

Theo also celebrated his first birthday!

He got lots of goods!

His favorite seemed to be a remote control.

Good luck finding what that controls buddy!

Cute cake!

Everybody sings!

CEK gets to hang out with two of her favorite dudes!

Theo wants out of his high chair!

And another party is complete!
