HARD work pays OFF!

 
 
Yesterday I enjoyed many things, SONIC for one!
Always such a treat, reminds me of vacations!
Dt. Coke, blue coconut and lime----extra ice please!  :)
 
.
.
.
Over Spring break Jax worked on his times tables.....
Passing off  A LOT!
There was a lot of tears, frustration and doubt on his end.
He pushed through and faced it head on and tried so hard.........SO PROUD!
.
.
I re-learned right along with him!
Oh the things we forget...
.
.
.
So as a reward we ordered something he wanted VERY badly from amazon!
.
.
.
We waited for it to come Sat.   It didn't!  {tears}
We waited for it to come Monday. It didn't! {Tears}
Running home off the bus, straight to the mail box, closing it with disappointment!
Mopeing his way to the front door.
He reminded me of  the Christmas Story....the Little Orphan Annie secret code!
:)
Yesterday---
IT CAME!!!
20 minutes before he was to arrive home from school!  PHEWWWW!  close one!
He BOUNCED down the road........off the bus....anxious!
 
 
heheheheh!
I wanted to scare him!
.
.
.
.
.
He screamed like a little girl, ripping it apart!
.
.
.
.
I love boys.
and game nerds!
 
 
He earned it!
He deserved it!
.
.
.
Tonight-------
 
***I blog.
***Jax fell down the stairs and is now doing his homework with an icepack, mad at me for making him so his homework.  {wink}
***Charlee is painting creepers she made out of wood in the shop today.
Seriously this little girl made it ALL by herself......glued wood together and all.
 
 
 
 
Last night The kids attempted to sleep in their tents!

Peek-a-boo.
 
 
I'm not so sure her grandpa is aware that Snow White is playing in his shop!
She knows her way around this place!
Second place she would rather be!
First place?  In her dad's pocket!  :)
 
 

 
 
Things are Good around here.....
I feel good.
Like, really feel good!
 I KNEW if I loved life, that LIFE will love me back!
