I am insane!

Mimi "foaming" Lane in the front yard. She has good form!

Lane had the idea to tee-pee Cam's room after he went to sleep. Luke and I helped him and had a ton of fun.


I definitely get the mother of the year award!! Cam turns 8 this month and for his birthday I agreed to let his papa get him a bb gun and I got talked into getting him a snake. He has been talking about wanting a snake for about a year now and we have been visiting this one at the pet store almost weekly. All he has said for a year now is that he wants a snake for his birthday. I gave in. It feels so wrong. A snake living in my house... on purpose! I guess I was just so happy that he didn't want another birthday party like last year (talk about insane!). This year we had his best friend Nathan over and took them to the skate park and rented a movie. It was so nice. Papa and Mimi came over for cake as well as our good friends, Doug and Leanne. It was nice and controlled. Just the way I like it. We did have a minor issue though - we had to take Olivia up to the after-hours clinic to check out a cut on her ankle that got infected. Turns out she had a staff infection and had to get a shot on her hiney....not a good day for her. But, Mimi was in town and took her straight to the toy store to help her forget about the soar hiney.
Cam's real bday is the 26th. We will have family time on that day (the snake is not considered family to me!)
So - now we have Blaze (dog), B.F.J. (bob joe fred - lane's iguana) and Gary (cam's snake). It's just not right....
