Another perspective

(What my son sees when he is sitting behind me in the bleachers at sisters' soccer game.)

So it turns out, I am a sucker for....

A good holiday shirt :)

How did this happen?

Where did the time go?

Those 9 candles seemed so hot and bright!

When did she get so big?

Last night when she kissed me goodnight she said,

"You know what Mom - this is the last night that I will ever go to sleep as an eight year old."

I said,

"That's right baby girl, enjoy your last sleep of eight."

She said,

"I can't wait to be 9."

I swallowed the lump in my throat and went on my way.

I feel the time passing.

It really is going too fast.

One of the most classic examples....

Of kindergarten legs

I have ever seen!!!!!

:)

So excited to bust out our Christmas shirts!

Hope your Thanksgiving was great! Looking forward to December.

Twas the night before Thanksgiving.....

and all through the house


Not a creature was stirring - not even a mouse.


The tables were arranged with obsessive care


In hopes that the relatives would be happy there.


The children were nestled all snug in their beds


Battered and traumatized from the many times that Mommy said....


Do not make a mess - don't touch that it's clean!


The Mommy worked hard to not be too mean.


and Mamma in her sweat pants


and Daddy in his hat


Were never going to get


Their much deserved nap.


When from the kitchen there arose such a clatter


I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter.


Away to the pantry I flew with a dash.


Threw open the door and let out a gasp.


When what to my exhausted eyes should appear


but a bad little pug with no morals or fear


Doing the best that she knew how to do


To hoist her fat self to the top shelf of food.


She was little and feisty and naughty and quick


I knew in a moment that I never should kick.


More rapid than eagles my coursers they came


and suddenly words came out of my mouth much too horrible to name!


At this point I am not sure that I remember the song


Plus there is still much to do and my rhyme is too long.


I will gladly exclaim as I turn off the light


Happy Thanksgiving to all


and to all a good night!!!!!!


Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Here's hopin'......

...that you are having a good weekend!!!! Only one more week until Thanksgiving break!!!!!!
