Kiss Me Dirty Race!

What did I do this weekend??? Oh thats right I ran a 5k mud run! Seriously one of the most fun things I have ever done!!!!

1st day of School! 1st grade edition

Duncan started school last Wed the 15th! Not just school but 1st grade... all day school... lunch at school and everything! He was so excited and has been looking forward to this for a while, so was I. What would it be like to just have one kiddo at home, you see last year I was working and didnt get to take him to school or pick him up, Daddy stayed at home with Beckham and got to do all those fun things (and the kids loved it!) This year ts all up to me, I am staying home this year and Chris is working full time and 15 units! So here I was watching Duncan pick out his clothes and Beckham doing his best at picking his out, and getting everything ready to go, Duncan is excited and Beckham really has no idea that he is going to be all by himself with no best buddy! Duncan wanted me to pack his lunch and I gladly did! We drove to the school and We walked him in to his class and he was gone, he didnt give hugs he was ready, I told him I loved him and I would see him after school and he says, "yeah mom, bye!" I am not going to lie I cried, alot!! Not in front of him though, he came home so excited and he loved it. I knew he would he loves to be around people and meet new friends!

Now that today is day 4 of school I am loving the time I get to spend with Beckham and loving that Duncan is doing so good and loving school!

I have a 6 year old!

We had two celebrations for Duncan this year! One was on Sunday where we had family and friends over. As per tradition I asked him what he wanted for his birthday dinner and what kind of cake he wanted, he quickly responded by saying," Homemade pizza, Pizza factory bread sticks and for dessert I want Beignets!" I thought holy cow at least he knows what he wants! We have church at 11:30 here and Chris had to be at work at 5 so everyone was coming over at 3... and I had to make 3 different doughs... I was in a serious time crunch! Lucky for me Carol was in town and helped me out, then my mom came and also helped me out! It all turned out amazing and was delicious! I am so glad that he chose those things!
The second celebration was his actual birthday on Tuesday, we had lunch and generally played all day! It was a great day, (minus the hour I had to go to the dentist to take care of a chipped tooth!) followed by going to Nana's house and opening presents and playing baseball out in her back yard! I am a little overwhelmed by the thought that Duncan is 6 and is starting 1st grade in 4 days! He is such a good big brother and a big helper to me! He really brings such a special spirit to our home!!
