My Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings - A day in the life of a busy mom . . .

Madison has been begging for earrings since she was in kindergarden. I told her she had to wait until she made her First Communion. Well, guess what — this year she makes her first communion. I let her get them a little early (her communion isn’t until May) in case we have an issues with them (which we haven’t so far).

Before:

After:

She did well and is taking care of ears all by herself! (We did the little small red birthstone earrings).

Kiddie Kamp Pictures

My Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings - A day in the life of a busy mom . . .

So I messed up and forgot to load a couple of pictures that I had taken from Madison’s last day at Kiddie Kamp. She truly enjoyed herself, and I am so glad I sent her. From the amount of kids there, I was surprised that they didn’t need a couple of moving trucks to get all of the treats there that we had after the show. We filled up the entire gym! These pictures are Madison performing Do You Ears Hang Low:

My Big Girl: The Graduate

My Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings - A day in the life of a busy mom . . .

We had an exciting end of the week. On Thursday, Madison graduated from preschool! They came in and said the Pledge of Allegiance and then sang God Bless America. They also sand the Graduation Song, Hokey Pokey, Itsy Bitsy Spider, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Rainbow Song, Bend and Stretch, Do Your Ears Hang Low?, Teddy Bear, The Turtle Song, He’s Got The Whole World In His Hands, and It’s a Small World. Yes, they really did sing that many songs. Granted, they all didn’t start and stop at the same time, but it was the effort that counted. It was super cute.

Now, these next two pictures are from when they called her name get her diploma. Yes, they gave them diplomas!

The teachers also kept a folder of all their work, so we could see how they progressed through the school year. We also got some photos that they had taken throughout the year too. Mommy and Daddy were extremely proud of her and picked her up a couple of things:

Wednesday’s Hero

My Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings - A day in the life of a busy mom . . .

This Weeks Hero Was Suggested By Mary Ann

Wednesday Hero was started to put a face to the men and women of the American Armed Forces and what they do for us. Vary rarely has there been a member of a foreign military profiled. In fact, in the two years Wednesday Hero’s been going on it’s only been done once before. Here’s the second.

Lance Corporal Matt Croucher
24 years old from Birmingham, England
40 Commando Royal Marines

L/Cpl Matt Croucher is not only one of the bravest men alive, he’s also one of the luckiest men alive. On the morning of February 9, 2008 L/Cpl. and his unit were searching a compound near Sangin in Afghanistan that was suspected of being used to make bombs to be used in attacks on British and Afghan troops. Walking in the darkness among a group of four men, Croucher stepped into a tripwire that pulled the pin from a boobytrap grenade. His patrol commander, Corporal Adam Lesley, remembered Croucher shouting “Grenade!”

As others dived for cover, Croucher did something nobody expected. He lay down on the grenade to smother the blast. Lesley got on the ground, another man got behind a wall, but the last member of the patrol was still standing in the open when the grenade went off.

“My reaction was, ‘My God this can’t be real’,” said Lesley. “Croucher had simply lain back and used his day sack to blunt the force of the explosion. You would expect nine out of 10 people to die in that situation.” L/Cpl. Croucher was that 1/10. Not only did he survive, amazingly he only suffered shock from the blast and a bloody nose. He was saved by the special plating inside his Osprey body armor. The backpack he was wearing was thrown more than 30ft by the blast.

“I felt one of the lads giving me a top to toe check. My head was ringing. Blood was streaming from my nose. It took 30 seconds before I realized I was definitely not dead,” said L/Cpl. Croucher.

For his actions that day, L/Cpl. Croucher was in line for the Victoria Cross, the highest award for a British Serviceman, but it has yet to be awarded.

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived

Goodbye

My Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings - A day in the life of a busy mom . . .
Today, I had to say goodbye to my trusty Airwalks. It was a sad day. I’ve had these shoes for about 13 years. I think I got them in high school, so they may be a bit older. I loved these shows. They were comfortable and they lasted a long time. The only reason I had to buy a new pair of shoes was because the heels on the shoes were wearing out and rubbing my heels. I am happy with my new shoes (I think). They too are a 4 1/2 (yes, my feet are that small). They are New Balance shoes and when I put them on, it doesn’t feel like I even have shoes on. I really wanted another pair of Airwalks, but we’ll see how these do.

Anybody else have shoes they hate to part with?
