Update later on...we've got a crazy day preparing for hurricane Fay..UGH!!

Go Gators!

In honor of Kolin's first Shands appt. on Tuesday {ped's orthopedics's for his popping ankles}, which we have to cancel due to Hurricane Fay coming our way, a little blue and orange for ya'all...



Kody's big 13 is tomorrow, so hopefully I'll be able to grant Miss Sheila's wishes and scan some old photos of him in here so we can all take a stroll down memory lane together. :0)
Tomorrow he'll be having his magazine pic's taken {him and I} at 4 o'clock.

It's also the kiddo's first day of school tomorrow and, no, I haven't completed the supply shopping lists {they are soooooo long this year}.
I tried to finish up this morning...but not yet.

Welp...have a very happy Sunday everyone!!
I have got to get some teeny tiny baby hats up on the hat site today, so let me get off of here and get that done.

Love, Kim

A Day In The Life Of Alona

Being six years old...oh Lordie, I remember those years with my girls. <3
Now my kids, kids are bringing back memories of...





Silly dress up outfits and lots of red lipstick...applied by herself. :0)

Have yourself a silly, red lipstick kind of day everyone!!
Well..not if your a guy, K? :0)

The Kids Last Wekend Before School

And they are sooooooo not thrilled.

OK..let me rephrase that..
Kaysha can't wait to get back to Leesburg "social time" High, but the boys have the glazed over, zombie, this can't be happening all ready look written all over them. :0)

Since Kody's b-day is Monday and Kolin's is the following Monday and Kyle James is busy with two jobs, he decided to take a little while this afternoon and treat Kody and Kolin to a couple of hours on the golf range.
So, K&K are patiently {HA!} waiting as I type this for their big brother to show up and get them outta here for a while before we get hit with another rain storm, which is supposed to be right upon us this afternoon. Bleech!

While they're gone, I've got to dash off to the yarn store quickly, which just so happens to be conveniently located a few miles from Target which just so happily has a Starbucks right there in the entrance way.
Yay Me!!!!!!!!

Looks like I've got a line of kiddo's looking over my shoulder right about now, waiting for their computer time..so I'll leave you with this, taken yesterday....



And, ummm..his Dad looked over my shoulder a few minutes ago and when he saw it said "Isn't that the truth". :0)

Have a beautiful day everyone!!!!

Love, Kim

It's Friday....COOL!!!!

This has been about the rainiest week in forever....which has lead to bored, cranky and kind of obnoxious kids.

Today Miss Thang, Alona is here teaching us a thing or two about redish-pink lipstick, glitter, dress up, Candyland and paper plate masks.

Since we're about to get hit with storms at any time...no swimming..again. :0(

Kody ended up with another achey headache last night but when I went in to give him his morning med's..he said he felt better. Thank goodness for that.

Anywho's...not much to report.

Oh..Kolin had his meet the teacher night, last night.
He's in the new addition of the elementary school, so it nice, bright, open, clean and made of solid brick..which is safe, especially during hurricane/tornado season.
{Kody spent his last 3 elementary school years in the same building}

I have to tell you the funniest thing.

OK, so last night the elementary school was buzzin' with kids and parents.
Last night I finally noticed the difference between boys and girls.

Every single girl was dressed up to the "t", all cute with their little sundresses on, ponytails, big smiles, painted fingernails, carrying cute little sparkly pencils..soooo happy to be there.

Every boy {mine included} walked behind their Mom's and Dad's like they were doing the death march.
Sad, uninterested, bummed, bored and trying to figure out why in the world those girls thought this place called "school" was like the next Disney Land. :0)

I have to tell ya'all..this little girl here met her teacher last night too {though in a different school} and this morning she was all about telling me how nice her teacher is, how much she loves school and all about the sparkly blue pencil her new first grade teacher gave her. :0)



Welps..I better get to going..Candyland is callin'. :0)

Have a beautiful day everyone!!

Love, Kim

Bear's Update...

Thank you so much for all the well wishes and prayers.

Though he's not quite himself today and still having those weird personality changes with another morning headache...he made it into school and judging by his teachers {he gets Mrs. Jones again..YAY!!!} and the amount of kids that "high fived" him...he's going to have a great year.
He'll still be on half day hospital homebound with three, one hour, early morning sessions of one on one tutoring with Mrs. Jones.

I talked to neuro. this morning and we'll be increasing his Strettera in hopes of defeating the tics.

I've got to run so I can't stay on today so I'll leave you with the kid who made my night by talking care of his big brother, which gave me the warm fuzzies bigtime. :0)

Nikon Boy..a kid after my own heart. LOL!!



Have a great day everyone!!!

Love, Kim
