Lil Man

Lil Man Milestones

..He went to Kindergarten

My first born went to Kindergarten. I have you know, I didn’t shed a tear.

Not.One.

Wanted to. Held them in. Although the lady blocking the door was crying a river. After looking at how silly she looked, I squeezed my eyes real tight  and did the play off eye rub like something was in my eye.

He woke up very excited.  I wonder how long that will last.  He got in the class, found his seat and sat down like a champ. I won’t tell you Lil Mama was going on a rampage in the class pulling stuff off the shelves and scribbling on people’s work while I was trying to capture a few memories…should’ve put her in the stroller… hindsight is always twenty twenty. Anywho, I did manage a few pics while wrangling her with one hand and snapping with the other…

I asked did he read my note. He says, “I saw it, but what did it say” *sigh*  Tomorrow I’ll draw a picture

Cheese

 

The obligatory backpack shot

Just before he told me “Bye, you can leave now”

Asked why he was staring out of the window. Said he was reflecting on his day…I guess

I have been inducted into the elementary school mothers crew. How did your induction go? Please don’t scare those who have this hurdle looming ahead of them.

Children Lil Man Weekend

Fun Friday

I did it. I survived the summer. It’s over.

This has been one loooong summer. At times it feels like it slow poked and at others it flew by. But I’m going to say the general consensus is with no less than four children in my care at least a week at a time with breaks here and there when they switched and went to my inlaws, this was the summer that I thought would never end.

Last night my stepdaughter went home and I went to Lil Man’s Kindergarten orientation..it’s official! Monday, school bells ringing.

Soo, I’ve decided not to let Lil Man ride the school bus. After I spoke with his teacher, who I loooove by the way she confirmed my thoughts that the bus is super rowdy and if I am able to drop and pick up to do that. I’ve also decided on packing lunch..saw the menu..say no more.

Now things can go back to normal. I can start blogging, taking photos and grocery shopping once a week instead of everyday trying to feed these kids. I feel like August 1 is a new beginning and I am treating it as such. Time to get back to work on my endeavors..I’m planning a mom’s night out event here in Atlanta…deets coming soon!

The fall for me is action packed. Time for shuffling Lil Man to piano, football practice and the newly added Tae Kwon Do two days a week along with my marathon training and I am going to be busy. We will be doing quite a bit of traveling. I am looking forward to fall my favorite time of the year. The living room is going to get a makeover and I want to do a few decorative things around the house via thrifting and DIY projects..Lawd. It will all be blogged. Promise.

Welp, tomorrow its going down. I’m doing a flash mob. Yasssss….Meeeeee.  Just one of those things to say you’ve done. Cross y’alls fingers that the Mr. comes out and tapes it so I can post here for your viewing and laughing pleasure.

Have a great weekend…What’s on your agenda?

The summer is wrapping up for us and I am looking forward to everything going back to normal. School here starts on August 1, so I am in the process of getting Lil Man ready for Kindergarten *sniffles*  I can’t believe it. He is really pressing the issue about riding the school bus and I’m just not sure. Furthermore I’m stressing because I want to pack him lunches and send him with a lunchbox and smiley face notes. His dad says that’s lame. Is it?

Lil Mama left on Saturday morning to spend some time with her godmother in Fl. I miss her, but I was becoming a little unraveled. I needed a few days to myself. She’ll be back tomorrow. I will be refreshed by then.  Lil Mama is growing so fast, and has turned into quite the bully. Slapping and biting are her weapons of choice.

Well, after completing the 10K I have decided in an effort to maintain a healthy lifestyle I am going to start training for a half marathon. YES 13.1 miles. Me. <–. The plan is to do two. One in Savannah in November and the Disney Princess in February. I’m going to really keep track of my progress on the blog through a new app I found for my phone..you know accountability. With you all watching me, I will feel like a failure if I slack off and don’t go through with it. Don’t let me fall off. Okay?

I haven’t been taking as many photos as I would like trying to keep peace in the house with the kids. I did order some business cards from this site called Moo. If you need cards you have to go there. The quality is awesome and they are very reasonable.

Welp, that’s enough of my ramblings. How was your weekend?

The Goings On In My World

I feel like I have been such a terrible blogger lately. I have been in full out party planning mode. Lil Mama turned 1 on Thursday and her party is on Sunday. It was every bit of my intention for this to be a small family oriented get together but you know how that is. This thing has grown a head of its own and its ego is huge. Every post next week will probably be filled with photos.

Last week I enrolled Lil Man in Kindergarten. He is anxious. Me? Not so much. I picked him up from school today and he had the nerve to walk in the house with only one strap of his book bag on. Told me that’s how the kindergartener’s wear their book bags. I can’t.

Lil Mama is walking and woe is ANYTHING in her way. My day is now filled with removing things from her hand and mouth…aaaand she had the nerve to try to speed crawl away from me the other day. She is still nursing, I am going the route of self weaning, while introducing Almond Milk. She is developing a little personality now. Sheer hilarity!

I went this week for my 3 month blood pressure/cholesterol check. My blood pressure is down to 120/84 Woot Woot! Told you I wasn’t playing games with this. I have removed excess sodium, and dairy from my diet. I run on average 3 times a week. This past week I beat my personal record and ran/walked 2 miles in 30 minutes. < THIS!

I see all of you vlogging this past week. I haven’t had the time to comment on your blogs, please forgive me but I’ve been inspired and Tuesday I will unveil a new feature for the blog and it involves vlogging. I pray this goes well.

Well its no mystery that photography has become a recent hobby  obsession of mine. I am currently working on the website for….

 

I hope to have it up by the first of June. I have started taking pictures for other people…here’s a few.

  

In Atlanta, and would like some photos captured of you, your little one or family…email me at [email protected] let’s talk!

Have a great weekend everybody. Make sure to come by next week to see how the Lil Rockstar got down at her birthday party!
