Goin Hardcore

Did the summer just get started? Has it really only been a week since Taylor got out of school? I can't believe it! We may have to go hardcore on these kiddos this summer. So far I've disciplined for...

hitting
Camryn hit Taylor in the head with a flashlight. When I asked her why she did it she replied, "Well, I wanted to push her.". I guess in her mind hitting is better than pushing?

name calling
Camryn came crying to me about Taylor calling her a name. I asked Taylor what she said and she told me she called Camryn a Big Fat Balloon Head!

bad words
Taylor tried to get Camryn in trouble for saying I hate you. I asked Camryn where she heard that and she pointed to Taylor. Taylor immediately gave me the I'm guilty look and got in big trouble.

In the midst of all the craziness I've had to console a worry wart and laugh at smarty pants...

Taylor the worry wart
Is now worried (after I tried to talk to her about alcohol) that she will get accidentally drunk. I'm sure she will try to use that excuse later on in life as well

Camryn the smarty pants
I've been working with her on potty training. Not much though because she's pretty hard headed. I've never been successful. At church on Sunday she pee pee'd on the potty for Mrs Sherri. When she was done she looked up at her teacher and said, "See, I can do it!".

With all of that said, I need to say that I'm already having a great summer. All the naughtiness only makes up a small part of our fun times together. They make us laugh so hard it hurts. They play together so well and love on me more than I ever imagined they would. In fact, they fight over who loves mommy the most. I just sit there and soak it all in because pretty soon they will be arguing over just the opposite. I love you girls with all my heart and always will no matter what!!

Mischevious...

Finally, a normal face!

My oldest little girl is all growed up!! Yesterday was her last day of school and last night was the big celebration. Taylor was absolutely beautiful!!! She has the cutest smile EVER! She got it from her cute daddy. Anyway, they sang several song for us and I have to admit I teared up a little when they sang "I love you". At the end she looked at me and gave me a big ole dimply smile. Priceless!! At the end, only one parent was allowed to go pick her up so I sent Jason back there with flowers. He said he gave her the flowers and she just looked up at him and he started tearing up! He said he felt like he was giving her away at her wedding or something. So sweet. She is daddy's girl! Taylor was so excited to see Gigi and Poppa (my parents) at the ceremony. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that they had a gift for her. She also got a quick picture with Mrs Yonce. It was so sweet of her to come find Taylor and give her a big hug. She will be missed. More than anyone, Taylor is going to miss her teachers Mrs Funk and Mrs Tilman. I am convinced they are the best teachers EVR. The end! That's how Taylor would write it in her journal. I really don't know how it could get better from here but it sounds like her first grade teacher is pretty awesome too. I'm so thankful God is placing Taylor under the care of christian teachers in public school. I think it makes a huge difference! Of course, right now you wouldn't know they were even being raised in a christian home because they are fighting like cats and dogs. Whatever!! It's summer break!!!! WOOHOO!!!
