Our Wonderful Monday



Today was an okay day, work was slow so got off early.  Picked Camber up early from school so her and I could go to the grocery store to get food for dinner tonight.

We came home and she helped me do the dishes, I love it when she wants to help out with chores, makes me think I have done something right in raising her.

After the dishes were done I put on her cartoons as a reward while I got dinner prepped to cook, she does not get to help cook too often I don't like her near the stove and what we had this evening she was not able to help with.  We had cubedsteak and gravy with rice and field peas, Camber loves rice, just plain, bland rice.  She is so silly.  

Right now I am writing this to you and she is finishing up a wonderful show on NickJr. called Mike the Knight, she likes dragons now and is constantly running around "roaring" :).  I hate to have to tell her it is almost bedtime :(.  


Our bedtime routine now consist of brushing our teeth, going potty, saying bedtime prayer, blessing important people in our lives, kisses and hugs, drink of water, and finally cover up with blanket and she might stay in bed.  

I am really going to try harder to capture more pictures of Camber it is just really hard to do when it is just you and her, one I don't want to stop what we are doing to go get the camera, and two mostly I am so into what we are doing that it becomes an afterthought (man, should have gotten a pic of that).

Well we are going to go finish our bedtime routine, have a wonderful evening all.  Unfortunately our location is under a tornado watch until 3 am and it is supposed to start storming around 10 pm I hope she is sound asleep before this happens.






Fun Evening With Neighbors





Good Morning to Everyone and Anyone who reads our little blog.  We had a great time last night at our neighbor's house for a cook out.  Good food, great people and Cake (that would be Camber's input).  Camber got to play with her friends Jayden, Marcus,  and Marquez she had a blast!  We all had Pulled pork(cooked by the wonderful Mr. Fred) Coleslaw, potatoe salad, baked beans, and Homemade Mac and Cheese (made by yours truly) Not only was this a cook out for us to meet their friends from England but is was a surprise baby shower for Brandy, their soon to be daughter in law and another neighbor of all of ours.  We are so greateful for our wonderful neighbors and friends it is nice to know someone is there if you need them.  

This morning started out great and I am looking forward to the rest of the day, hoping it continues to be wonderful day.  It feels like fall out side once again and I am loving it.

Camber woke late this morning, all that running around and playing last night wore her out.   But when she did finally wake she came running into the livingroom where I was sitting and jumped in the chair with me for some mommy-daughter cuddle time!

 A little blurry sorry
 she still looks sleepy
 mommy I am watching cartoons

 Ok I will smile but not looking


After cuddle time she ate breakfast, Poptarts this morning is what she wanted.  She finished breakfast and then it was time to get dressed for school.  I got a few shots of her outfit of choice this morning.  All I can say is she is her mommy's girl.  I lived in overalls when I was little.

 Do not know what the face it for
 still watching cartoons
 Had to get in her way but she smiled
 Oh goodness not a duckface
 she is so cute

I love this outfit!


Well I am gonna get off here for now gotta finish getting ready for work might post some tonight depends on Camber
