I Tricked my Kids

Into thinking I was "the cool mom" even if it was just for a few hours and involved graham crackers and canned vanilla icing. They spent a couple of hours on their creations and really had a great time. (finally Cambry can cross off Make Gingerbread Houses on her LIST of fun things ..that she has never been allowed to do!)

I have sung a few Cambry praises on my blog before...I can do that because I am her mom and it's my blog - LOL!

I am pretty sure I have not blogged about one of her secret talents. She is becoming quite the "toenail" artist! She wants to give me a pedicure at least once a week. No...you can't have her - we would miss her (and her pedicures way too much!) She saw this design on my cousin's toes this past weekend and came home and recreated it on mine using Canyon Eagle colors. It won't be long and she'll be hosting her own toenail painting parties.

Now, my toes don't really look like little toe nubs...bad camera angle!

One of her more "known" talents is softball! Her first games are coming up this Saturday at 2:00 and 3:30 at Amarillo High school. Be There or Be Square!

p.s. I am blogging at 8:00 at night in front of the Jr. High. I just dropped all the girls off at the Powder Puff game (where the girls play football the night before the big homecoming game) and then a Bonfire. I am guessing it will be a 10:00 night for the Hedger girls. The weekend is only going to get even more crazy (high school is fun, but so busy). We have homecoming and Chesley is going with a friend...so tomorrow she gets her first MUM! Sooo exciting! Hopefully, I will get a few pictures, but you all know how she is.

p.s.s. I made it home by 9:35

Fishing and Kayaking

Cutter getting ready to do some serious fishing.
The hard work pays off! He caught this fish with a lure he picked out himself he was so proud!
Chesley was an expert kayaker. She kayaked all the way to Irbys (the hamburger place on the lake) with Nana. Cambry loved the kayak too! I caught this picture just as she was about to take a spill into Granbury lake.

We are visiting my parents this week and they have a place on the lake. The kids absolutely love coming here to visit. It is like their own mini-resort complete with two doting grandparents that are at their beck and call. Can we say "spoiled"!

Eagles Softball Camp

The girls are both participating in softball camp this week. They really enjoyed it today. It is important to mention that these will be the only photos taken - it is apparently NOT cool for your mom to show up at camp with a camera. I very very discretely took these two pictures.
