BATMAN UNDERWEAR

Camren is officially potty trained...at least he was until he had a protest against the Batman underwear I put on him this morning! Anyone who knows my stubborn little two year old knows how much he LOVES Lightening McQueen! Everything in Lightening, he has 4 L.McQ. shirts, pants, blankets, 10 different versions of cars, and now underwear. Heaven forbid I do laundry and decide to wash his L.McQ. underwear because nothing else will do.
It all started when I had to put on Batman undies..

Cam: I don't like 'em
Me: Cam just wear them until I can wash your Lightening underwear.
Cam: I don't like 'em. I gonna poop on 'em.
Me: You do and you don't get Scoobie Snacks. (His reward for poo in the toilet)
Cam: I gonna poop on 'em. Grumble Grumble

Needless to say he came true to his word!!!

SCHOOL IS OUT!!!

Confused? I'm not!!! Jody's last class was last night! AHHHHH. Do you feel that sigh of relief? He is done done done with school! We got side tracked with a few kids and a couple of big moves through a couple of big states....but he did it and we are done!!

I had a mini celebration for him last night. I made his favorite dinner (sour cream and chicken enchiladas). Ordered a totally delicious cake (Tory it was amazing-Thank you!)

Camren could hardly wait for the cake and while everyone was eating dinner he couldn't help himself...

And topped it all off with a totally awesome Graduation gift (Rock Band) and friends to play it with! Thanks for the Sparkling Cider Brad and Natalie!

Yep I am extremely proud of my hubby! You are totally awesome and I admire you more then I could ever convey through words! Love you Jody!!!

Stay tuned for a graduation post!!! Yeah did I mention he was done with school?!!

SCHOOLS BACK IN!!

Yeah!!! School is back in session...and it is a full day! Corbin's new teacher is Mrs. Lucchetti and Corbin loves her already! He walked in this morning and she turned a huge smile toward him and said "Oh, Hi Corbin I am so happy you are here!" I think he grew a whole foot! She knew how to win him over!

He was super excited for today. He lined all of his new clothes out on the bed last night and picked out an outfit that was "cool but not fancy". I had to come in to his room several times to get him to settle down and go to sleep.

His special meal request was a surprising one to me, Potato Soup and Corn Bread. This kid won't touch anything that doesn't come from a box! My baby it growing up!!

Odd Neighbor Request

So it is a known fact that we live in the Ghetto of Roseville, but it has always been tolerable because we have always had really good neighbors. But in the last 6 months the last of the good neighbors moved away and some real quality people have taken their place (I am being sarcastic if you didn't catch it!). One Sunday morning the toothless wonder that lives across the fence came over still in her P.J.s to request to BORROW something. I closed my door walked over to my purse grabbed that something returned to the door and handed it to her where she proceeded to tell me in detail why she needed it. I closed the door with a very disgusted look on my face. Jody started laughing at my expression and asked what she needed. I was still so stunned by the situation that he had to ask twice more before I could answer...a TAMPON. Please tell me I am not the only one that has had strange neighbors. Please post a comment to help me put my mind at ease!

FIRST DAY OF SOCCER!!!

After months of answering the question, "When does Soccer start?" I was relived to answer...Today! (Well really August 12) He begged and pleaded to wear the whole git up to practice hence the official jersey.

He absolutely loved it! At every water break he would sprint over and say, "This is totally awesome! Gotta to get back to my teammates." I could barely get him to take a drink before he would run back on the field to his "teammates"!

Camren loved practice too. He tried to run on to the field with his soccer ball a couple of times but quickly came back when he noticed he didn't have "soccer shoes and socks" on. Mostly he just played on the jungle gym that is me! It was supper hot, 102 I think. I just hope we can keep the same enthusiasm the whole season!

Gems

Corbin has had some real gems drop from his mouth today (gems not bombs...big improvement) and I thought I would share:
We were driving to go school shopping when Jody pointed out the new body style of the Dodge Ram:
Corbin: It looks like a Toyota.
Jody: Kind of but-
Corbin: What I have really been wondering about is...How did the "Titantic" sink?
Jody: It hit an iceberg.
Corbin: And then the icebergs ate the people right?

Later:
Me: Corbin did you wash your hands? (he had just come from the bathroom)
Corbin: Nope...Didn't touch it.

Tonight: He had been sent to his room for kicking his brother:
ME: Corby may I come in?
CORBIN: Y..Y..YES. (huge sobs) But can I say something first?
ME: Yes.
CORBIN: When I first met you...(huge sobs, big tears) I was born!!!
