My favorite boy in the middle of a Cameron sandwich turned
10
in January!
It was great fun with a Minute It, to Win It party at the school gym with 10 boys. The best line of the night, when we were seriously losing control of the party, was by a friend who is in Fifth grade. He said, "Mrs. Shook, this is what happens when you get together a bunch of Fourth graders." Mike and I still laugh about that line. It was classic!
Mike and I are so blessed to have Cameron as our son. He has a passion for many things but mostly he loves Mindcraft, always his Legos, books and his sisters. He is an all-around great kid who never gives us a minute of trouble. In the off chance that he is a little bit obstinate he almost always ends up telling us before we could ever find out. He wouldn't be a great criminal.
God gave us Cameron to break us in gently as parents. And it worked, because who else would try it two more times??!! We are blessed to have Cameron in our lives.
I haven't felt the need to blog in a while, actually quite a while. I had felt like the ability to be myself had been damaged by some who didn't know me or appreciate me as myself. You know what I say to that? If it was appropriate to type I would do so, but let's just say I'm thinking it in my head. Never ever let people make you question who you are. It's OK for people to not like you. But, it's not OK for people to belittle who you are. Who you are is between you and God. Period.
So, I'm going to try and be back!
Amazing how insensitive people can be. You go girl and get back to blogging. Question - how does one rent out a gym for a party. Sounds like a great option vs a bunch of kids at your house!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tracey!
ReplyDeleteWe are able to rent our school gym. It's a great deal ($13/hour!) and has been especially nice since we have had a really rough winter.
