6th Grade Graduation... what happened to my little baby!!??!!
Last of day school... last day of Elementary for Lolo!
Lauren getting her "fastest mile" award. Loved it when someone yelled "you go girl" as the 2nd and 3rd place boys stood by watching her get the 1st place award.
The orchestra played a song or two.... they sounded great!
One of Lauren's biggest fans and over paying employer!!
Love, love, love Mrs. Higley!!!!

Why My Kids Make Me Laugh!!
Kenzi: So creative and can come up with a solution for any issue. Example: today while mopping the floor she put plastic bags on her feet. She hates the feel of her feet getting wet and she doesn't want to get footprints on the floor.
Example 2: She has a very good sense of smell and has no tolerance for smells she doesn't like. A few years ago when we ate something for dinner that had a bad smell (to her)... she duct taped her nose so she couldn't smell it.
Lauren: She loves to make a big deal of birthdays, holidays and celebrations. It was Max the cat's alleged birthday on Friday. She made him a cake with tuna and cat food, along with the tuna juice in a silver cup. She put a candle in the middle of the tuna and took him his "cake and drink" with the candle lit. Of course every time he got near the candle it would about singe his fur and he would jump back... I must say it was pretty funny. The kids finally blew out the candle and he drank his juice and enjoyed every bite of the cake.
Cameron: Sweet, sensitive little man that wants every one to be happy and always follow the rules. (As a soul mate buddy... you got a long life ahead of you.)
His 1st grade teacher told me she was having a bad day and the kids weren't listening and it was obvious she wasn't happy. He came up to her and said "Miss Arthur, you are a really good teacher and are doing a really good job." She said it is so obvious he wants people to feel happy and doesn't like it if someone is feeling bad.
Example 2: I have a stash of candy bars for a YW thing and I've told the kids (and Dave) not to eat them until I was done with them. Dave got a couple of them out the other night and Cameron kept telling him that he shouldn't be doing that and I wouldn't be happy! When I got home and was teasing them about it he made it very clear that he had objected and tried to stop dad. Mr. "rules are general guidelines for me" Dave and Cameron definitely don't see eye to eye!!!
I also love to watch his imagination. A few Sundays ago Val called me and Cam was out in the front yard having a war with himself. Throwing a shield and sticks and acting out an entire war... love that little boy!
