Soulmates

Last night in the bathtub, Camden is watching me take off my make-up and he says, "Mommy, when you put make-up on, it makes you look pretty and all the boys will want to be your boyfriend."

I laughed and told him that I only had one boyfriend now, and that was his Daddy; and that Mommy didn't have boyfriends now because I had married his Daddy. He then says, "Well, how did you get married?"

I start to explain how part of growing up is finding your soulmate. I told him that when God made him, he also made his soulmate, so that one day when he grows up, he'll look for his soulmate and find her and they'll fall in love and get married. Then he says, "What's a soulmate?"

So, I explain how you find the one person in the whole world who you love more than anything and you want to spend forever with. Then, I tell him "Your Daddy found me first, Cam."

He says, "Well, what if you found Daddy, but Daddy found someone else?" :o)

I laughed and told him that I would just have to hope that the other person wouldn't want Daddy, so he'd come and pick me. That seemed to satisfy him.

So, I've got the intellectual questions coming from Cam, while Zach is sitting beside him drinking soapy bathwater and giggling everytime Cam pokes him. Ah, the joys of motherhood!

Camden's P.E.Class

On Halloween, I was able to take the day off to spend with Camden at school. They were having a Halloween Book Character Parade; more on that later...but I was able to go to P.E. with his class before the parade.

First, we have Camden swinging over the hungry alligators in the alligator pit. That's his teacher, Mrs. Witt, in the pic with him.

Next, he was on the scooters...these are so cool...

Then the rock wall...

And lastly, the bouncing balls.

Carter's Mountain ~~ Brownsville Kindergarten Field Trip

Camden's Kindergarten went to Carter's Mountain Apple Orchard back in September to pick apples! The trip went along with their unit on the life cycle of apples. They each made an apple print t-shirt that everyone wore to the orchard that day.

TD took the day off and was able to go with him. They had a great time. Camden told me that evening that his friend Andrew told him: "Camden, your Daddy rocks!"

Albemarle County Fair 2007

Ok, so I'm REALLY behind on this blog and I'm going to try to get caught up...so, I'll start by going back to the late summer at the County Fair. We live just up the road from the fair, and always take the boys (of course!). For about two weeks prior to the opening of the fair, we would ride by twice a day (on the way to town and the way home) and Cam would see the workers raising the tents and all the animals arriving...everyday..."When does the fair open? Can we go? When are we going to go to the fair?"

Anyway, we took the boys for a second visit on the last day and had a great time! Kathy, (who is TD's mom, for those of you who don't know her), and I took Zach and we met my Mom and Camden there. TD showed up when he got off work.

Both boys rode the ponies, which Cam LOVED and Zach HATED; rode lots of rides and played a lot of carnival games.

Camden and my mom entered some of their veggies from gardening and a few flowers as well and won lots of ribbons.

Zachary thought MawMaw was a little hungry, so he decided to feed her some of his french fries!

I think Cam was the most proud and excited about the First Place ribbon he won for the drawing he did of his Daddy's Jeep. He drew it while we were on vacation at the beach, and it was so good, I decided to enter it in the fair...and he won! He did a great job!
