Preschool

I went with Zachs class on their field trip today. It was so much fun. They went hiking. I adore his school, I don't know many schools that go hiking for a field trip. They go on field trips every 3 weeks or so and they always do such fun things. I am kind of sad that it is only preschool and his whole school career cant be as cool.

Next year I am signed up to be in charge of all the Scholastic stuff. I am so excited! I love Scholastic. I order every single time it comes up! I get to run the book fairs and talk people into ordering. YAY! 

Speaking of books, I think we might walk to the library now.

ShamWow makes you say WOW! Everytime!

My son is an infomercial goober, in case you didnt already know. For show and tell at school today, he took his ShamWow! He was so excited about it. He couldn't wait to show his friends his ShamWow. I had to stay and watch show and tell today because I couldn't miss him showing off his ShamWow. Its not exactly an every day show and tell item! When it was his turn the teacher asked him what he brought and he said "Its my SHAMWOW!" Unfortunately his teacher didn't know what ShamWow is so it wasn't quite as much fun. The conversation went like this:

 T - "What do you do with a ShamWow?" 

Z - "You clean stuff with it!" 

T - "What kind of stuff?" 

Z -"Everything!" 

T - "Like a car?" 

Z- "Or a boat!!" 

T - "Do you have a boat?" 

Z - "No." 

T - "So, in case you get a boat??" 

Z - "YEP!"

It was pretty funny. I got a kick out of it. My kid is one of a kind and I love it! 

That ShamWow sure came in handy though! When I went to pick him up after school they had filled the sandbox with water. So the kids could make sandcastles and moats and stuff. Zach was of course playing right in the middle of it next to one of his friends. I crouched down in front of him and was telling him that it is time to go. And mid-sentence, Rex's shovel caught a rock. So he yanked at it. And all the mud and water sloshed through the air. Can you guess where it landed?? On the person sitting right in front of him. That would be ME! I had mud in my hair, on my face, ALL over my clothes! I am pretty impressed with the coverage he got out of it! I was dumbfounded by it! I honestly just sat there without moving for 10 seconds. Then I realized I was holding Zachs show and tell. ShamWow to the rescue!! I was still covered but at least I wasn't dripping! 

I didn't even have time to shower after that. My day was too packed! After preschool we went and dropped our dogs off at the groomers. (BTW, don't use PetsMart! They are expensive!) They now have such pretty haircuts! 

I took the kids to Winder Dairy today, they were having an Earth Day carnival. It was kind of a cheesy carnival, I was expecting more. But I think that is because the last carnival I went to there was huge. It was still a ton of fun. We went with Rachel and La Dayna, I pretty much have fun anytime I hang out with them though! It was dang hot though! I cant believe that is was almost 85 degrees (at least according to my car!) We were all sweating! But the kids had fun, they all got their faces painted which was cute. Zach is on a big Earth kick. He wants to see Earth from space really bad. But he doesn't want to be an astronaut, he wants to be a race car driver! =) So he got an Earth painted on his face. He loves telling people about it too. He says I got and Earth because it is Earth day! Chelsea got a cute little flower. She picked a daisy but the kid does not sit still long enough for anything intricate! Her flower is still very cute. And I got a heart painted on Lydia. I love face painting. I think everyone should get their face painted at every carnival! Of course, I was the only one who didn't get my face painted today! But that was a lack of time. I had to go pick up Joe and ran short on time. Oh well, next time I will paint it up! 

I have super cute pictures of it but I cant seem to find my camera right now. I will add them as soon as I figure out where it is. 

I am going to go watch Scrubs now! 

How do I....

How do I pimp my blog?? I just have one of the basic layouts they offer and so many other people have such freaking adorable ones. I want to personalize mine more but I can not for the life of me figure out how!

Dinkus and the Badguy

I chopped my hair! Not just a little bit but a lot. I was on a serious kick that I wanted to grow it out and I have been for some time. But it got so long and SO heavy. I seriously couldn't do anything with it. I would curl it and a couple hours later all the curls had fallen out. I would straighten it and a couple hours later it would be wavy. I was frustrated with it! The other night I was flipping through a magazine and saw a woman on one of the pages and I said "thats what I want!" So I tore it out and took it to Kelly, who I adore! It isn't exactly the same as the picture I saw but I am so happy with it. I do really wish it had been long enough to donate, which was my goal, but I couldn't take it anymore. I think I may be getting too old to let my hair be quite that long...

AFTER

On another note, I tried to kill ALL my fish today! I picked up the fish food and the lid wasn't on all of the way and the whole thing of it fell out of my hands and filled the tank. It was horrible. There were just mountains of food all over the tank. I am pretty sure it would have poisoned them! So I had to get all the stuff out and clean the tank. I am going to have to clean it again tomorrow because there is still so much food in there. Of course, Brandon thought it was HILLARIOUS. He made fun of me all day long. He is not as funny as he thinks. In case you were wondering! 

Zach told me today that our life is a movie. I asked him what our movie was called. He told me that it is called "Dinkus and the Badguy." and he is Dinkus and I am the Badguy. That warms the heart! Being the bad guy in your kids movie! At least I get a starring role!
