Addiction

Have you ever watched the show Intervention on A&E? I think I have an addiction to Sonic drinks. Do you think they put something in their ice? Especially when it's Happy Hour. Yummy! I even ask for Sonic Cards at Christmas! These are my favorite drinks from Sonic: Coca-cola Classic, Coke with Cherry, Cherry vanilla diet Dr Pepper, Root Beer, Lemon-berry slush easy on the berries, and Cherry Limeade! I could go on and list every drink except Ocean Water, but I won't bore you. It would be really nice if they would put floats and shakes on special.

I think I might get Patrick a Sonic Card for his birthday. Then, he can buy me Sonic! :)

First Tooth

Sydnee got her first tooth when she was 7 months old. (the bottom right of the middle). Today, 5 yrs 6 months old, she lost her first tooth. The exact same first tooth! How ironic. This tooth has been loose for about 4 weeks. Today, it needed to come out. We were afraid she would swallow it when she was eating. Looks like our house will soon be visited by the tooth fairy! My baby is growing up!

First Day of Kindergarten

It's Sydnee's first day of Kindergarten. Here she is at her seat. She was so excited this morning. I hope she has lots of fun. It was a little sad for Mommy, but I didn't cry like many other moms that were there. I watched as her class lined up and went inside from the playground. She didn't even care that I was watching. She was concerned about the little boy who was crying for is Mommy. How sweet.

More about her day later. I'm sure she will have lots to talk about tonight.

Anticipation

It's the night before the first day of school. Can you believe my little girl is going to Kindergarten?! The clothes are pressed, backpack is packed, and lunch money ready. I think I have more butterflies than Sydnee does. She is cool, calm, and collected. Looks like I'll be the only one with teary eyes in the morning.

Mini vacation

This past weekend we took a "mini" vacation. With a 6week old, we didn't venture too far from home. We took Sydnee and Chloee to Magic Springs on Friday, then we stayed in a cabin on Lake Hamilton for the night. This is Sydnee feeding the geese Saturday morning. We stayed in the cabin b/c Syd wanted to go camping in a tent! I told her this was as close to camping we could get with a baby. (I don't think she realizes what camping in a tent involves. Nor will she ever with me!) I will camp in a camper, but not a tent. I've done it several times as a child and don't plan to as an adult. Anyway, back to the vacation.....

On Saturday we took the girls to the Alligator Farm downtown Hot Springs. It was a feeding day so we were able to see them eat chicken. Very interesting place to go. If your kids like animals, take them there. This is a picture of Sydnee feeding a 3yr old gator some chicken on a stick. She also fed a deer fawn, and goats. We also saw several different animals (wolf, mountain lion, lemur, peacock, turkey) We stayed at my parents house and went shopping on Monday. It was quite a little adventure, especially with a new baby.
