Today is Charlie's birthday!!!!! Happy Birthday Charlie...there is no picture...he is as hard to photograph as the elusive dodo bird! I am so very blessed to have him!

September 25th Teacher of the WEEK

Hard to believe that an English teacher was one of the Teacher's of the week...speaking at the pep rally was a little nerve racking...but it was fun! I made a Bison out of cardboard boxes and told the boys to destroy the Bisons...and they did...wish I had a picture of it in little pieces. It is sometimes hard being at Leon with family in Buffalo...But school spirit is all about ownership and Leon is my school...but I do love #44 on the Bison Varsity Football team...Jacob has been my favorite since before he was born!

September 25th, 2009 "Fifties Day"

50's Day at school...This is my favorite dress up-day, but I had the skirts made this year! They won best dressed again this week...they had so much fun dressing up this week!

September 23rd Callie's 7th Birthday

With everything that is going on...we did not have a big birthday party for the girls this year...disappointing, but it has been really hard to plan. We just never know from one minute to the next what exactly is going to take place. So... I asked Callie what she wanted for dinner on her birthday... she wanted hot dogs and the next day she informed me they would be, "chili dogs and we would have to cook them inside because you know mama it is raining outside!" While in the grocery store she asked if we could have punch...so we had pink sherbet punch in the nice punch bowl, Brookshire's cake, and chili cheese dogs....The four of us all felt a little sick after the mixture! Happy Birthday Callie Rae!

September 18th Tie Dye Day

The girls won dress-up day..best dressed in their classes again this week...they were so cute in their tie dye dresses!

September 11th Leon's Homecoming

Homecoming was really early this year and hard to get excited about....But the girls each had a mum and seemed to enjoy themselves! And ...They both won dress -up day AGAIN (Blue and White Day)

September 4th 2009 Camo Day at School

It took me 3 weeks to make these pants...cute idea, but very hard to sew crosses on small pants legs without sewing the pants legs together! I picked the pants up at a thrift store for around $6 each and the material from Wal-Mart was $12.00, and I got up a night after everyone went to sleep to work on them. They laid on the kitchen table for three entire weeks while I sewed and bedazzled them! Chelsea was disappointed when she put hers on because she said, "They looked better on the table"....But she was all smiles when she and Callie both won best dressed in their classes! Next year I will look for pants with wider legs!
