I love "spooning" Mary everyday when she gets off the bus. Today was about Michael vs. the Rolley Polley. "Momma, I am never going to put a rolley polley on the ground again! Michael just smashed it! I know all about Mother Earth... But he must not. I think he is from Jupiter!"
There has been no mention of the "oh so handsome Brian." Cameron is her new boy-friend. Mary says he just holds her hand at circle when no one else is holding hands. "He is trying to be my BFF. He is so nice! I think I will start to BFF him back tomorrow." (BFF=Best Friend Forever)
She seems to be adjusting beautifully. I am so grateful she has an awesome teacher and is making friends.

Favorite Dad's 60th Birthday Bash!
For my favorite Dad's 60th Birthday party we did a "Bubba/White Trash/Nascar" theme. It was a riot! We all took to it very naturally. My Dad is famous for shooting squirrels in his backyard (which, of course, is totally illegal:) They refuse to stay out of my mom's attic... He calls the space between two pine trees "The kill zone!" So we decorated his cake as such.
The following are pics of our "Trashy" fam. Josh's "wife beater" tank top actually said "I love Tony Stewart!" so funny!
Oh so someone gets the grand idea of recommending to the lil girls that it would be even "mo white trash" to take their shirts off too. My sweet lil cousin Kali just nods "no way!" Someone asks Mary "Do you want to take your shirt off?" Mary answers matter of factly "Of course i do!" Yeah! thats just great! ha ha! :)
One of my Dad's Birthday requests was a Mariachi Band.... I love my Dad! He is so funny to me!

Kutest Kindergartener
Being the Mom of a Kindergartener shocks me! I just cant get over that my lil darling is so big! But Mary continues to reassure me that "Momma, you'll be fine! You're getting use to it! You'll acclimate soon!" ha!
Not so. My shock only digs deeper. :) Today is only day 2 of her "big girl school" career and she announces that she has a.... boyfriend! "Excuse me? What do you mean 'boyfriend'?" I ask. "Well you know how Toot gets dumped by guys? Yeah, like a boyfriend like that. But this one doesn't dump." Are you kidding me?! I struggle to hold back the laughter. She goes on to explain that his name is Brian and that he is "sooo handsome to me!"
Of course I want to know a lil bit more about Brian- "So what do you like about him? What do you know about him?"
Mary just knows that he has really cute blond hair that curls up at the bottom, he loves pizza, always wears a red shirt (yup, this is day 2!), and "we sit right next to eachother... really, really, really close to eachother!"
So it begins. :)
Truly tho, I am so proud of Mary. She has been such a brave, independent lil Kindergartener.
Going to school from 8-3 is quite an adjustment. When I picked her up after the first day she told me that she actually wanted to come home after lunch b/c it was too long. "I didnt tell my teacher tho, I just didnt want to complain." Wow, what a brave girl. She did ask "Do first graders go until it is dark outside? B/c gosh that was so long!"
