Proud Mommy Moments--Cool Kids






It is time for those Proud Mommy Moments to share and link up with Emmy and Kmama.  And I am going to ride a little on the coattails of my bestie and use pictures for my post.  Now I don't have a melt your heart toddler anymore, but I think my kids are pretty good looking just the same. 

Kristin is in The Hobbit this week at school.  I saw it last weekend with Emmy.  Kristin is an elf.  She and all the other kids worked tremendously hard on this production.  All moms should be proud, and so should the teacher.  Maybe I am biased towards her.  Just a tad.  It's something that is important to her.  She keeps up with her school work despite a hectic schedule.


Emily may be quiet and reserved, but there is a wild and spunky persona just beneath the surface.  It comes out when you least expect it.  This week is red ribbon week and every day has had a theme tied to it.  Yesterday at her school was super hero day!  She was one of the very few who actually wore a costume!  She was Wonder Woman.  Most kids cheated and wore logo t-shirts.  She received many compliments.  I told her she was truly a cool kid for showing the most spirit.

I think if Ryan went to school with his best buddy Lucas the stories would be endless.  It could also be scary.  They have so much fun together.  Today his school's theme is:  TWIN DAY.  These two would have been twins for sure between his mom and me it would have been well plotted out.  I felt a little bad, I don't know any of the moms.  But not to worry.  My son and another friend of his worked out all the details and they were going to be twins.  Jeans, school t-shirts, and slip on shoes which they both have.  Now how cool is that???

What are your proud (or perhaps not so proud moments)?

Yes Ryan and Lucas would be cute twins :)
And Kristin's play really was awesome! Especially for a high school production I was beyond impressed.
And good for Emily-always fun to have a reason to dress up

Oh... the dreaded "twin day." :) We just had this one too for red ribbon week. (along with opposite day (?), Favorite Team Day and Wear Red Day.

My middle child just started Kindergarten this year and it is so nice to feel like I am an "experienced" mom at these themed days! I remember when my oldest was in Kindergarten and came home telling me about Red Ribbon week and the themed days and I thought to myself: What's Red Ribbon Week??? LOL.

Your children are beautiful!!! Sometimes it is nice to stop and think about the things that makes us proud instead of their messy rooms.

Your kids sound like such great kids. How cool that Emily decided to do what she wanted, and not what the rest of the crowd typically does. You definitely should be proud!

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters...
