Show and Tell

My little darlings- Troy is starting to look like a little man to me ;) I love his hair!!! and Sophi, always the little mother!



Show and Tell was my favorite thing about preschool I remember after kindergarten I was so sad that there was no more show and tell. Once my mom even brought my pony for show and tell and gave all the kids rides on him! So, now my darling daughter has show and tell, every Thursday and it has to go with the theme for the week. Last week was the first show and tell, this week was their "A" week. She insisted on bring a black stuffed cat, how appropriate. I told her that is was supposed to go with the letter "a" and then I made a "AAA-" sound.
I hinted that, "AAA-, apple starts with A, can you think of something else maybe to bring that starts with a?"
"I'll bring my cat." She said.
"OK Sophi do you understand that cat, CCC-, cat starts with C, not AAA-, A right?"
"Yeah, mommy, but you and daddy are AAA- allergic to cats."
I guess she is smarter than I am. So she took her cat to school and told everyone that she loves her cat, it is the only cat she can have because her mommy and daddy are AAA- allergic to cats.
This week is shapes and colors week, I wonder what she will bring this week!? I am going to over my pumpkin with the triangle shaped eyes but I don't know what she will decide to bring and ultimately it is her choice.

This would be my show and tell, I bought this on clearance at Lowes, it so sooo dying. I do NOT have a green thumb, but I managed to bring this back to life! So pretty!


Troy had tumbling today. We took Sophi to school and then went to his gymnastics class. He loved it. He bumped his head on my tooth while we were stretching though and cried a little bit about that. I am the one who should have been crying though, my tooth still hurts.
Last week we missed the beginning and he was so confused when they first got out on the floor and started running... he ran by me fussing for me to hold his hand. He was looking around at all the kids and holding my hand so tightly while we ran with the class.

This is why Troy is so good in gymnastics, he's a monkey! Here he is climbing the fence at church and my arm reaching to grab his shorts as Tony flashed a picture.. yes, he was shirtless at church! He is such a rebel!!


Sophi has gymnastics tonight. I have lots of laundry to fold. Tomorrow I am working, in the morning however my mom is coming to stay wtih Troy and take Sophi to school because Tony and I are going to get recertified in CPR. We both were certified and we both let it lapse, it is a requirement for my job at the hosptial so we are going together to take the course in the morning.

Then I am working for a long stretch. I unsually work 3/12 hour shifts from 7pm-7am.. this week I am working 4 days on 1 day or 1 day on. Reson being.. Tony is leaving for TN next week and I need to work my two weeks worth of nights in 6 days. Then me and the kids for 5 days without Daddy. We are already dreading him being gone, Sophi told me she doesn't want him to fly away. I told her he will fly back :) The kids love airplanes and Sophi says she wants to fly with him. She may try to go in his suitcase. :)

My kids love their Daddy.. here they are in Sophi's bed before bedtime.. Troy was reading a book.. LOL


OK, well, off to finish that laundry!!!
