After each of the children completed their artwork, the photos were laminated and bound together in a book. Each child takes the book home for a night to share with their families. All of the photos were pretty typical of first grade art work. Until, we got to Zack's photo. Keep in mind these are supposed to be 'self-portraits'.
Ron and I saw this at about the same time as I was flipping the pages of the book and we both just got wide eyed and then fell out laughing. This was just the best picture ever....EVER!!!
I just had to share this. :)

I can feel when they move about in there and the pain is somewhat reminiscent of the small contractions (Braxton Hicks) that I would have back when I was pregnant. Apparently, it just gets worse. Yay for me. Double yay for prescription narcotics. :)
In other news, the movie/pizza party is all set. Tyson is bringing along Eric, Isaiah and Jake to the party. Should be interesting. We'll catch the movie at 12:15 and then pop over to Pizza Hut for a couple pizzas. If Chuck E. Cheese was closer and we had more time, I'd take them all there. But, Eric's parents need him back home early in the afternoon. Pizza Hut will still be fun, though. I just hope I can make it throughout the day without being hopped up on
I'm picking up Tyson's new bike today and I'll hide it in the garage until Thursday morning. After talking with his Pediatrician on Friday, I've decided against the Heely's. She said that she has seen quite a few kids with head injuries over the course of the summer from falling while using them. Dr. Rowe said she felt they were dangerous and didn't recommend that he try them just yet. So, that helped with my decision. I may get him a new Game Boy game to go along with the bike...have to check the finances and pray that I get a child support check next week.

I still haven't given up on my quest to own a Dodge Nitro. We are going to go to the dealership where he purchased his truck tomorrow. They gave him a heck of a deal and really worked to earn his business. Maybe they can work a little magic for me. I've already decided that if I don't buy this Nitro tomorrow, I'm done looking until next year.
Tyson has been going to football camp all week from 5:30 - 7:00 and I must admit, the boy is amazing to me. Last year, if you recall, he was being a total spaz at football practice and I threatened to yank him off the team if he didn't straighten up. This year, we've come a full 180 and he's rocking on the field. He does as he's told, pays attention and is catching just about every thing they throw at him. Just like with baseball, he's grown and matured and playing much better football. I think he's just going to get better and better. And bigger and bigger! I had to buy him some new summer outfits and a new pair of tennis shoes as he's outgrown everything that I bought not even 6 months ago. I need a hook-up at Levi Strauss and over at the Sketchers corporation. My little boy loves his Sketchers but this time I got Nikes - they were on sale - and he seemed to really like them. See, change is good. :)
I canceled my paid subscription to Launchast Plus yesterday because I didn't see the point in paying for it when I can use Pandora for free. I canceled it before going back and logging in to Pandora - bad move. Pandora now locks my computer up and forces me to have to reboot. I still don't want to pay for internet radio right now, though. I'm back to Launchcast, just the free version. Man, it sucks. Too many commercials.
Wow, talk about a long and rambling post about nothing. I'm the Jerry Sienfeld of the blogging world.
Hope you're all enjoying your Friday. It is beautiful out today and I can't wait to get out and enjoy it.

This just makes me unbelievably sad. What the hell is wrong with these kids???
I need to stop reading the news, ya know? It's depressing.
High school football tonight. Sweet. :) Tyson and his pee-wee team are going to be presented at the high school game tonight. I haven't been to a high school game in 16 years. This should be fun. Tomorrow is picture day and his first football game. I hope that he has fun, I'll be a wreck, I'm sure. He likes to goof off...a lot. I want to go out there and tell him to straighten up, but I will try not to. I don't want him to hold the team back with his antics out on the field. He acts sort of...spazy? That's not a word, but I can't really think of a good one. Ron has been super sweeet and taking Tyson to the practices after school while I sit with the little ones. That makes me happy.
Anyway, 45 minutes till quitting time and I am SO ready! I want to see my kids and my man. I want a smoothie, too. I had a tangerine frap from Starbucks yesterday and it was awesome! I could drink them every day if they weren't loaded with sugar and almost $5 a pop. Nothing like being poor to help with restraint.
Today I was craving a burger and fries SO bad. But, I started thinking about my cholesterol and my blood pressure and opted for spicy stir fried tofu instead. It was actually pretty good. I'm still craving something hot and cheesy though. *sigh*

Yesterday was a fun day for me. I took the afternoon off to take Tyson to kindergarten. It was so cute to see all of the kids in their new clothes and new squeaky shoes. They were all so tiny and full of energy, eager to take on the new challenge that is kindergarten. Tyson didn't seem afraid at all. He was so ready to jump in and make new friends, learn new things and be in a new place. I guess I never thought that he would be ready for a change, but 4 years of day care probably has left him ready for a new setting and new friends.
There was one Mom who cried her eyes out when she dropped her little guy off. I felt a slight touch of OMG, he's growing so fast, but I didn't cry. I felt pride more than anything. When he was there in the assembly with the other kids he was behaving himself, paying attention and doing exactly as he was told. I knew that we had done our best and prepared him for life as a student as I drove away. Some of the other children were a tad bit unruly, even with Mom/Dad still there. I can only imagine how they would behave when they are not around to give them the death stare. We did a good job.
After I picked him up at 2:30, I took him to Dairy Queen for a hot fudge sundae. There were a few other children there with their Mom or Dad and we all sat and talked with each other. I think I've made some new friends, too. :)
