A Son Gone Wild???? What's Happening?

Okay, Any Moms out there with Little Boys May Or WILL understand where I am coming from with this Post!

My Sweet little Guy who has been such a Love Bug and Snuggle Bunny, Has Disappeared ! I'm Not Quit Sure where he has went, But I Long for the Day for him to Come back Home!

Camp who is Now a little over 2 1/2 has transformed into this Sneaky, FAST schemer... he is always into something or I'm Catching him, Now Take Note... I Watch my Kids, This Kid is just FAST! I can't express to you how often He is leaving a room in a Minute's time and Has literally made the Biggest Mess ever! 

I have to share with you some of the little HUGE  Things that he has done Here Lately!   

This will be Just a Glimpse of this Past Week! 

1: I was in my Room with HIM right next to me. I messaged a Girl to let her Know I was unable to meet with her that afternoon. This took me a Minute and a half. Tops... He left the room and went to the Kitchen. I didn't think anything of it. He got quiet. So I asked him what he was up to. In his Sweet Voice he says 'Noting' I go to check on him, and he had already climbed on top of my Dinning Room table and took a Brand New bottle of Shampoo and Dumped 3/4 of it ALL OVER THE TABLE AND HIMSELF. He just looked at me like WHAT MOM?

2: The second he Gets down, he goes to Potty while I'm Cleaning up the Shampoo. Comes in the Living Room Trailing himself with Shredded Pieces of Toilet Paper Wiping himself. I panicked b/c I was trying to clean up the 1st mess while the 2nd was being made. Once I finished up the Shampoo, I'm following the Trail back to the Bathroom  to get pick all the paper up. I get there and YAY... he actually did his #2 in the potty all by himself, However, He knows to pee pee in the potty and for some reason or another he decided to put that All over the Bathroom Floor...

3: I Cleaned the House the other day and was vacuuming my Bedroom. Little Man who Loves to help me Clean was right by My side! He walked into the Kitchen when I told him to leave the Room, Once I turn off the Vacuum, I hear..... WATTTTTEERRRRR!!!! I run to look. Not Only did he Over Flow my Mop Water in the Sink all over the Bar and Floor, He had the Spray Hose standing on the Counter Spraying EVERYTHING in it's Reach, from the Bar Stools, Seat, Throw Pillow, 2 Blankets, Curtains on 2 Windows,  Walls, Bars, freshly Vacuumed Living room floor and MORE!    He just looked at me like..... WHAT MOM?

4: I put him and Calleing in the Bathtub later that Day, My phone rang with a Friend asking something about my sisters surprise Birthday dinner that night, The kids were Screaming and I could not hear. I stepped around the Door to listen, In a seconds time, Calleigh Screams with laughter... I run around the door, CAMP took my brand New bottle of Body Wash and dumped it all in the Bathtub, Once again, I yell NOOOOO.... and he looks at me like..... WHAT MOMMA?

5: My Brand New Toothbrush I just Bought, He asked if he could brush his teeth, He had recently so I didnt mind Him using mine. I put the toothpaste on for him and turn around to put it back up. I then hear the Toilet Flush... He had his hands up and a tad. Bit of toothpaste on his Lips, I said..... "Camp, where is my toothbrush?" He just said " It's Gone gone now" Where at????? He pointed to the Toilet. Corey got it out later that Night.

6: He finished his Supper earlier, and then took his Sippy Cup with him in the Bathroom b/c sissy had went. Grose,yes, But his intentions were not to just visit with her. He got a Huge Drink and Spit it All over her when she was not expecting it! 

7: I can't count how many times here lately Ill find him Hiding with Our little house dog, Feeding her a piece of her Dog food and then himself one! YUCK.

8: His favorite.... Getting Lotion and just Squirting it EVERYWHERE

9: Calleigh has some lip gloss or little girl Nail Polish, This Kid, will sneak in her room when I'm Not looking and then just Paint AWAY... on anything from the Floor, to the Wall to himself! Luckily I have managed to get it all out!

10: I cleaned the Hall bathroom the other day and found where he had at some point taken all of their Kids Shampoo and emptied the Entire Bottle in the Bathtub. It was Dried to the Tub.... 

These are just a FEW things he has done Lately! I Can't think of them all b/c I feel like I Cannot let him out of my Sight for 1 second in a Day. For some weird Reason , Calleigh was NEVER like this. I could tell her " dont touch that" and she would Never touch it again.... Camp on the Other hand, It's like he wants to Know what everything is and how it works and what he can do with it and how many ways he can do something with it!

When I share these Stories, People just look at me and ask if I get onto him. my Response....... Well let's just say EVERY issue has been Handled, I can honestly tell you the poor guy stays in Time Out about half of his day it seems sometimes...But for some reason, He keeps at it! PLEASE Blogger Moms, I need some Advice or Just a little Comfort by knowing My son is not the ONLY one that does this! I told my Sister-In-Law I am Constantly Chasing him Everyday to keep him out of things. I feel like he hears me get on to him more then I am Loving on him! :( This is not to Mention the Terrible 2's have now arrived. Calleigh  Never really had any Bad Moments with Terrible 2's, But Her little Brother has brought a Whole New Meaning to that Phrase! 

Of  Course at the End of the Day, I could just Love all over him, But These Days, Im so Stressed and Over Whelmed with all that he does. I find myself wondering if I do really keep up with him that well, and I Know I do, B/C at the end of the Day, I'm so Tired just from the Chasing him around! 

I found him climbing up to the Bar dipping his Fingers in Left over Chocolate from the Pie I made tonight! He think's he's so Cute! :)


Oh well, I just thought someone could find a little Humor in His Experimenting... If anyone has any ideas please Shoot them to me.. Comment or something.

Calleigh is Beyond Thrilled and asking for a Sister, Ha, Camp on the other hand, Doesn't really Care. He at first said he didn't want a Baby Brother or Sister, But he is coming around!

The Rest of this is for Our Baby....

Okay Baby,

There is something so exciting about it to me! Daddy does not think I can do it, But I am Determined! So there for, this will be a Good LONG 9 Months! Well 8 More! :)

We told our Closest Family and Friends First. I text, Aunt Leah, Aunt Elecia, Grannah , Papa & Ashley a picture of the Test and asked them "What do you make of this???? ;) " I think Excited was and Understatement! Aunt Elecia began Yelling about doing a baby Shower, Ashley was already Counting up when she Thought I was due, Along with Aunt Leah. Daddy told Poppie & Lulu at church Sunday Morning and they were as shocked as we were I think. haha.. But they are ready to add another little Skarda to the Clan of Grand-kids. I told My Best Friend Ginger in Person. We shared Happy Tears. You will Get to Know her Real Well. Shes a Kid Person that's for sure! We waited on Everyone Else until I went to the Clinic this Morning.

Once the Nurse Confirmed it. We were a Go. We Spread the News Real Fast. I am 5 Weeks today & You are Due October 16th this year and we cant be any more Excited....

Your Older Sister Calleigh and Older Brother Camp will have so much fun with you!

Daddy / Daughter Dance

This is Calleigh's First Year of Elementary School! Kindergarten that is! Well I recently Joined the PALS Group at our School, It has to do with Parents being involved in their Children's School Events! I always wanted to be that Mom so that My kids could be able to say...


" Ooooooo, My Mom will help or Can "


ha. I know some of you mom's are thinking, What is this Woman Saying. But really, Think about it!


when you were young, did you want to be the kid that You Parents were NEVER involved or ALWAYS involved???? I pick Involved! to me it would make me feel as though they Cared about What I was doing in School, Who I was With, What was going On and What I got to Go to!, 


So that is how I have always wanted to be... Involved in my kiddos School! Yes True, its ONE more thing to add to my Plate but when My kids are involved, IM THERE! End of Story! :)


So back to the Point of this Post!


Des Arc Elementary had there 1st Annual Daddy / Daughter Dance! It was a Christmas Theme and I was head of Decorations. Right Up My Ally!


I went with a Red, Sliver & White Candy Cane theme! I wish I had pics of the Decorations but I dont! :(


Let's move on. aside the Decorations. I got to get my Little Girl all dressed up, Hair and All. Her daddy Bought her a Beautiful Corsage with Red Flowers and White & Silver in it. She was Thrilled to get that. She was so excited getting to get all Dolled up and Go out with her Daddy! 


Corey wore his Suit. he looked Very nice! Once we were all Ready, We headed to His Mom & Dads to snap a few pics of the two of them in Front of the Christmas Tree! I must Say, Im one Blessed lady. I have a Handsome Husband and Gorgeous Little Girl! ( and little guy ) He was with is Poppie & Lulu @ this time.

We make it to the Dance and Calleigh and ALL of her little friends were SOOOO EXCITED. they had a DJ and all... I think their Favorite Song was Baby Baby by Justin Bieber! Go Figure. You would have thought you were at a Concert of Girls. the Entire Room had a GASP followed by a LOUD Squill, and then BAM Girls From Kindergarten  through 6th Grade were in a Circle and singing with all that was in them to this Song! Corey & His Cousin and another Guy Ran out in the middle of them and Danced and Sang to the Bieber with them. You would think it was the High Point of the night. haha


I managed to Video a small part of Calleigh & Corey dancing to the "Cinderella' Song. One Day, I hope to play this while she is dancing her Father/ Daughter Dance at her Wedding! YES im nuts. I do plan 20 years ahead. Sorryt!


All in All, This was an Amazing Night. Little Girls got to Dance with their Heroes and Lots of Daddys were wondering Where the Time had gone! I think this will be a Hit and Highlight of the School Year from here out. 


Enjoy the Night!


All the Best & God Bless,
Candace

My Sweet Girl & I!

Cupcake Obsession

 I realized One thing while Going through my Pictures on my Phone earlier.....

READY????

I have a Cupcake Obsession!!!

There I said it. Yes it is true. Who just naturally Has this many pics of Cupcakes on her phone???

This Girl I must say!

Ha! I will blame this on my Friend Ginger who Also Loves Cupcakes. But for some weird Reason I can't seem to get the Yummy, Gooy, Sweetness Taste out of my Mouth when I see a Cupcake!

My all time favorite place is Cupcakes On Kavanaugh. UM UM GOOD! That's All I can say. 

I love their, 'Black Tie Affair' Cupcake! completely amazing
Their 'Red Velvet with Cream Cheese Icing' is Super Delish....
and the Usual 
Vanilla with Cream Cheese Icing is the Bomb!

I wont get started on the CAKE! 

As You will see in the pics. I have a few Cupcakes on a Sheet. This was b/c I love them so Much, I had to make them for Camp & Calleigh's Birthday's HA Ha! 

I think One pic was from a Wedding I photographed. They had a Cupcake Cake and I had to 
take a few! :)

One was from Starbucks a While ago. don't know why they had one, But Of course I had to try it!

Another place I recently Found out about is in Searcy!  But crazy me, I forgot the Name! You think I would Remember, But NO. 
However,

I do Remember their Cupcakes!!!!!

Well, If your Mouth is not watering by now, then Im sorry, Mine is and Im ready for a Cupcake.

Until Next Time,
Candace

Surprise Birthday Lunch

Well, My friends pulled a FAST ONE on me! Ha. today My Sister-In-Law asked me to go with her to her Doctor appointment. She is Expecting her 3rd Sweet baby and this go around it is a little Girl! (had to share)

Well She picks me up and Everything is Normal. Half Way to Searcy, She got a Phone Call from her Doctors office  (AKA My Best Friend Ginger that I found out about later) Ha. 

The 'Nurse' From Leah's Doctor called to tell her that Her appointment had been moved to 12:30 b/c Dr. Citty was in Surgery. Well I so Fell for this. 

We get to Searcy, She makes A fast run into Wal Mart to get something and then once back in the Car she asked where I wanted to eat... Well those of you that Know me, I'm not Picky by any means when It comes to Food. Ha. This girl Likes to EAT!

After giving me several Choices. I, as usual reply with 

"You know me, Anything is Good, you Pick"

So Leah Chose 'The Cookie Basket'

We get there and Walk in, I notice a Lady coming in Behind me and turn to say, Sorry, B/C i had almost shut the Door on her. To my Surprise, My Mother In Law was right Behind Her! ha. I just said hey to her and then soon found out that All of my Closest Friends and Family were waiting just around the Corner at a little Table! Ha...

I was so Excited to see them all there. We had so much fun eating and sharing each others kids and talking! Of Course we topped it off with a super good Cookie! :)

After Lunch we headed over to my Sister's House, She had invited me and my friends over to Visit and She made me some Yummy No Bake Cookies! YUM YUM. My Favorite Cookie of all! ha... We had so much fun playing with the kids and laughing! I have some photos to Share our day with you. I'm sure you will get a kick out of some of them. I honestly Have No clue why I am posting some of them with me in them. I'm sure you will get how it is for us as a group of friends with Kids once you see them! haha

Oh and Side Note!!!! That Nurse that Called for Leah to move her Time up. Was Actually, Ginger. Apparently, Leah's appointment had gotten Re-Scheduled for Thursday and Leah didn't know what to do, seeing that it was the Whole Reason we were headed to Searcy. Haha. So who better then to Call and have her FAKE it then Ginger who is going to school to be a nurse! LOL. 

Ginger pulled it off so Well, I'm sure giggling and laughing on the other end just to make 'ME' think she really had to move her appointment! haha, Well, I fell for it! 

Another Funny.... I booked my Hair appointment for Today as well, Completely forgetting that I had already  told Leah I would go with her, Well once I told Leah I booked it for the Same day, She frantically began Calling my Sister once home and told her to Call my Hair Dresser Holli and have her Cancel on Me! haha.. yes I'm sure this was Hectic getting it all together. Lucky them, I Canceled and Re-Scheduled Myself. ha. 

The other Day, Corey Randomly asked me when Leah's next Doctors appt. was. I thought that Was weird. He never Cares when Her appt.'s Are, Now I know he knew the Whole Time! 

Yesterday Ginger Randomly sends me a Text to say she will Be In Conway all day and was coming over Later in the afternoon, I then Remembered that Last year she did something like this and through me off to make me think she was stuck at work and could not make it to eat with us. Needless to Say she was there waiting Once I walked in the room. 

So yea, A few things here and there had me wondering, and I guess I was right, But I am so thankful for these Gals! they make my Life so much Fun. I am one for Surprises and Love them so much! 

Thanks Ladies. Your Awesome....

Until Next Time, 
Candace
