The Walmart Cake

Okay so this is how I imagine this conversation went:

Walmart Employee: 'Hello Walmart, how can I help you?'

Customer: ' I would like to order a cake for a going away party this week.'

Walmart Employee: 'What do you want on the cake?'
Customer: 'Best Wishes Suzanne' and underneath that 'We will miss you'.

And the New 2008 American Idol is...

........................


Yeah thats what we got up to till our stinking DVR stopped recording!!!! No,I am not kidding! I wait 19 weeks for this moment.My favorite contestant vs Bobby's and we have to find out who wins by clicking on YAHOO!!! Is this some sort of sick cable joke??? I am ready to smash my DVR box into smithereens! Don't they come with some sort of American Idol finale micro chip????

It's back!

I promise Drew that when school was out he could get a mohawk again...he had one last summer along with all the boys on his football team.

Well,there are 10 school days left and I caved! It is amazing what a hair cut does for a little boys self esteem..He thinks he is just awesome-which he is!

I am not normally one for allowing my kids creative freedom like this! I still pick out Drew's clothes everyday and probably will till he goes off to college(boys are great for that)

He just looks so stinkin cute! He is such a little man.The only problem we are having now is that I will not allow him to dye it blue! Yes, I said dye it blue. He is so into MMA being that he is now a white belt/yellow tip in Jujitsu and most of those fighters dye their mohawks.

I have to draw the line somewhere!

Mother's Day Tea w/ Bruno

On Thursday I had the joy and privilege to be honored at Bruno's school for a special Mother's Day tea. The kids escorted us in one by one to our little tables that were set up w/ snacks and adorable art work from the kids. Bruno kept saying"Happy Mother's Day Tea Party"! He introduced me to all his friends and their moms.He cracks me up-"This is my mom,her name is Grace" After we ate our snacks we all sat in circle and his teacher read us ,I will Love you Forever.By the time she was done reading,all the moms had tears pouring down their faces! It was a very special day with my little scar face boy!

A Boo Boo for Bruno

Last night I took the kids for a walk on the trail. The boys rode their scooters while I pushed Avery in her stroller.We live right by an overpass on the Pinellas County trail,the boys always think it is way cool to be up there looking at all the cars-Plus on the other side is the park.

Anyway,We made it to the top of the overpass then the boys decided they were going to ride the scooters down. I knew in my heart this was a bad idea,I wish I would of just stuck to my guns and said,No! I was behind them pushing Avery when I watched Bruno gain way to much speed and loose control. My screams were useless,it's all I could do as I I ran towards him. He fell face first into the concrete then just kept going,feet,face,feet,face,feet,face.I honestly thought he wasn't going to get up-it happened so fast and was so terrifying to watch. Even Drew was screaming and crying for his brother.After his body stopped at the bottom he immediately got up and ran towards me screaming..that was such a relief. I calmed him down then attempted to carry him,the scooter and push Avery all the way to our Dr's house who lives the next street over-he wasn't home.Where was my cell phone you ask? at home charging..which I never go anywhere without it!

We made it home and my neighbor who is a nurse came over to check out Bruno. He was fine just banged up and still in some shock.Our main concern was what may of happened internally-he hit his head so hard!I am a mother of 2 boys,I expect bumps,scraps,bruises,the occasional broken bone even but NOT watching my son violently go down an overpass bashing his head in the cement over and over again-Well,that's more than I can handle!
This all happened around 7pm so we kept Bruno up until 10:30 when he passed out on the couch then I woke him up every 2 hrs to checked his pupils. He was back to "Bruno" this morning insisting on going to school to show his friends his bloody face!


Last night after he calmed down
Today before school-So proud!(such a boy!)
Oh but wait,it hurts!-my little actor

Father Bruno

Bruno goes to a local Catholic preschool. We are not Catholic but it is a very reputable school with excellent accredited teachers. They teach God's word and that's good enough for me no matter what denomination! Anyway-Bruno has learned to pray like a Catholic. It is so adorable!!! Here is a video of my little ham doing his nightly dinner prayer.
