fair/77/campout/Stu's baby/smilemoment/crazyhormones /weekend plans

We survived fair people! It wasn't easy... I was a lot of fun but by the end of the weekend it was time to get back to real life... it was so so nice being off for a whole week! It makes me look forward to after the baby is born...
For my Grandpa's 77th birthday I  decided to do "77 years of Memories" for him.. (I got the idea from my SIL who done it for my Father in law)...but it was quite a undertaking. It was all worth it. I don't think he truly understood what it really was till he got home that night. Some of us thought he would read all the letters that night at camp out..I was a bit disappointed..but walking into church Sunday morning he said he said up till midnight and read them all... which made me happy to hear... I'm glad he liked them..and hope someday to have a ## years of memories....
We had camp out again this year...it was much fun..seeing all the kids run around having fun with each other... we have decided to take on a Ronda/Sondra role and do some actual planning..have a few ladies meet a few times leading up to camp out for food and activity ideas and get it done dare I say maybe even a theme... oh my! that has Grandma Sondra written all over it.. ... we want to keep this going... it is so much fun..

Sondra started back at school and Stuart has started preschool...I am so happy to have them back there... I love the schedule...I love being back into school... only bad part...the kids gotta get to bed early so they are not little monsters in the morning... Sondra has dressed herself all week..sometimes with some motivation from me...but still...its nice... Stuart's teacher yesterday when I picked him up told me "Stuart is one popular little boy here".... lol... she didn't elaborate and I didn't have time to ask questions...just made me laugh..of course he is...he is such a class clown...he'll do anything for a reaction...

another thing is..Stuart has been so cute with his baby!... he calls peanut #3 his baby...and its a brother lol... but he'll rub my tummy...and want to sit with baby... :) seeing how he is acting now eases my fear for him... I think Sondra was mature leading up to Stu's arrival... I wouldn't exactly regard Stuart as Mature for his age lol....

Made me smile Moment:
We were in the car yesterday and I hear Grandma Sondra ....and Stuart goes who Grandma Sondra...and Sondra goes..."Grandma Sondra is Grandma Dee's Mommy and I knew her and Mom and Dad named me after Grandma Sondra".... I look back smile and say you are right Sondra...does it make you happy we did that?..and she says "yes I really liked Grandma Sondra I miss her".... pull at my heart string girl make me choke back tears...

which I have noticed a lot this time around..my hormones are in full swing... I choked back tears as my mom tells me about a young girl going up for special prayer at church because her family had to put her dog down who had cancer or during the week of fair Sondra had to go to the doctor b.c. she still wasn't feeling very well and they were running tests to see if she had mono or if she had any type of infection..and I cried the whole way home that night because I was convinced something bigger was going on b.c. (my anxiety filled mind) has been convinced since she was born nothing can be this great and she must have some serious illness or one of my kids do and I'm just waiting for it to reveal itself..I know craziness...but I cried that night and now looking back feel like a major idiot..and maybe hey..its the hormones getting to me... or how my last blog a friend messaged me encouraging me about breastfeeding and if it didn't work out not to beat myself up about it..and I cried I just appreciated someone taking time to send me a note of encouragement... lol..wow... All this crying...I really need to stop... :)
