Yes, I'm a fan, too!

Okay, so I admit, it took me a while, but I'm totally on board...we're all in this together. I tried to fight it, for me and my kids. I saw all the merchandise right along side the double vision of Miley. When all the little girls in my neighborhood were sporting Troy on their T's and singing the songs...I finally caved and rented #1to see what it was all about. I found myself dancing and singing right along. I was very happily surprised. It was clean, fun, bright, and pretty darn modest. One of those good 'and the moral of the story is' movies. So, now it's history and my kids and I watch 1 and 2 whenever we can. Even Jackson, my little 2 year old.."mama, mucal, mucal"! So, Saturday we were in for one of the first showings of installment #3. I'm proud to say, not only are my kids, but I'm a fan, too. Long live HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL!!! Do they make t-shirts for mom's too?

Here's a super cute article, written by a grown man with no kids. (Click on here's) We're all in this together!

School Pictures

I got excited this time when the kids' brought home their big envelopes with school pictures. Maybe some of them haven't been the best. Like when Jacob insisted on wearing his black shirt with a flaming basketball on it. By flaming basketball, I mean, fire coming out of it. Yeah, nice for a school picture. Anyway, I was excited to see Abby's first picture, too. Kindergarten picture! I wasn't expecting the reaction I had and had to hide my face from the kids' so they wouldn't think I'm a nut. I got a lump in my throat and a little misty when I saw them this year. My kids are amazing and beautiful and growing up! I am so proud of them! Here are Jacob and Abby's school pictures and the most recent of little man Jackson. (Side note: Luckily we got this picture of Abby before she took some scissors to her hair while at school. So, my first question is where was the teacher when she was cutting her hair, and second, why do little girls do this? Luckily I have a friend who cuts hair, she cut more bangs and eventually they will blend all together. It wasn't too much of a tragedy. I'll post the new bangs picture soon!)
