365 {143-149}

Ah, these posts are getting easier and it takes the owness off of me in the week to gather up a post every day. Given the shuffle of my new job, kids and working out, it is insane to try and squeeze penmanship into the mix!
I mean Shoot, I can barely wash, dry and get the clothes put away these days!

Sunday 365/143

On Sunday, I ate one of these with the boys....I mean sharing it 3 ways certainly is not THAT bad is it?

Monday 365/144

Feeling a little guilty...

I had to put these babies on and head to the gym!

Tuesday 365/144

I bought these enormous pots at a garage sale for $5.00!

 But, they were cream and needed to be painted a fun color, so I painted them!

I love the color, they look so bright and summery outside!!!

Wednesday 365/145
I watched my girlfriends kiddos for a short time on Wednesday night and this adorable little rug rat decided to eat a piece of chalk....Her mom wouldn't mind would she???

Thursday 365/147

These babies arrived in the mail and I get to share one with a special blogger...

Friday 365/148

My 3rd graded brought this work of art home today! I was really proud of him! Now, I realize that 3rd grade girls can do this and make purses, wallets, pot holders but hey- this is a 3rd grade BOY!!! ;)

Saturday 365/142

As part of the Bachelorette Party for my to be Sister in Law we headed to

 Jon Charles Salon for a BLOW DRY BOOTCAMP & Make-Up Session.

I had someone snap this photo of my head but I am Still Counting it!

I can honestly say, this is THE BEST my hair has ever looked but of course we had 40 mile per hour winds so the second I stepped outside it was trashed!!!

But I am pretty postitive that I met my new Hair Stylist today...

Craig Curtis, WATCH OUT your gonna love me!

What did your week look like in pictures????

Field Trips, Friends and Fretting About Futures

Today was a big day in our house!

Receiver had his Kindergarten field trip!

I remember taking QB on this same trip and man has the time flown by {anyone else feel like that?}.

 Also, QB had to memorize a Shel Silverstein poem and read it aloud to a small auditorium filled with parents, teachers and grandparents..HE DID AWESOME!

And, he made a 3rd grade Poem book...Yep- I cried ;)

You can tell his poppy is a pastor because he had ZERO issue with stage fright!!!

We had some great times today, it is soo fun to see my littlest guy with his buddies!

 However, I have a serious question I need to pose to all of you that have had children on the cusp of the birthday/school saga.

It was very evident to me today that Receiver is YOUNG.

I mean I had 2 kids in my group that are turning 7 in 3 weeks and they are heading into 1st grade in the fall.

I guess I am having a dilemma because I have enrolled receiver in Kindergarten and he is 3 weeks away from completion. Aside from his eyeglasses which give him problems with his sight, and his writing/reading he is absolutley fine in the comprehension department. In fact higher than I expected in some areas

{does NOT come from his Mom}.

 So- my question to all of you is, have you ever had a child REPEAT Kindergarten?

What are your thoughts on that because I waiver between NO WAY  I can not mentally do that to him and YES, it would be great for him to get an additional year of maturity under his belt before the smack down of first grade happens.......

Sometimes I wish I could just roll a dice...but this is BIG STUFF FOR ME!!!

Do share! I need some help!

Here are a couple of pics from our fun day@ the zoo!

365 {122-135}
