Isaac

Hurricane Isaac is among us today.  We went to bed last night with some pretty big wind and rain.  Needless to say, school was cancelled in our area due to power outages and wind/flooding damage.  I have to admit that I have enjoyed having a day off.  It's hard getting back into the swing of things when you've had a summer to sleep in.  Anyway, this morning Philip and I were in our room when we heard some banging around in Kade's playroom.  A few minutes later we were presented with the ultimate super heroness.  Kade already had on his batman pj's and he added a few other super hero accessories.  I have to say I giggled a little when he walked in.  I made him take a picture, of course, so I could share with everyone else.  

Kade has also had a fun time watching the Disney channel this morning.  There is a cartoon with Mickey, Donald, and all the other Disney characters that K just LOVES.  His favorite is Donald.  He says that Donald Duck is funny.  Whenever he comes on the TV, Kade freezes and just stares and laughs.  I still find it amusing to see Kade laugh at the TV screen.  


Not sure what the rest of the day holds for us here at home, but I'm excited about the upcoming weekend in Oxford.  We're all headed up north tomorrow afternoon for the first football game of the season.  There will be many pictures to add to the blog in a few days.  Hotty Toddy and happy hurricane day!

the letter A

Well, we have  been back in school for two and a half weeks.  I have been so busy with new kids, back to school nights, and everything else that comes along with a new school year.  I haven't had time to record what's going on with little man.  Kade is learning to write at school (craziness) and so I tried to make him do it at home.  I managed to get a picture of him and his A's that he learned to write.  He also copied his name.  I am so proud of him.  I can't wait to see what letter he learns next!

The most perfect A's I've ever seen.

hilarious face, Philip wrote his name at the bottom and Kade copied it above his

Last day of summer vacation

I wish I could say that Philip, Kade, and I are living it up one last weekend before school starts back in somewhere like St. Martin or even Destin, but we aren't.  Kade and I started our day at FPDS.  Kade has been such a big helper this week.  He has helped me and several other teachers with some busy work that needed to be done.  You know, moving empty boxes into the hallway and marching down the hallway with a noise maker.    He did enjoy himself and we even had a picnic in my room.  After a few hours of working we headed home where we took a nap and waited on daddy to get home for a little swimming at our neighborhood pool.  Since we have been watching the Olympics, we had a friendly family beach ball volleyball game.  I admit, the competitiveness came out and Kade said I was hogging the ball.  A small storm got us out of the pool and we headed home for a little grill out.  Kade played in the backyard with Max and watered the plants.  I am sad that these are the last few days of summer, but I have enjoyed every second with my little man.  Next summer we will be preparing to send him to kindergarten.  Tears. 



My baby has grown up so much.

And now he's a "man" as he tells people.
