A Parental View...

-As from a Parents prospective-

I love when my kids come home in a foul mood. 

You greet them at the door with a smile and they walk in with an angry look on their faces carrying multiple binders full of homework.

It's a sight to see let me tell you!

You hurry them along upstairs to get them started on it before they turn on your and eat you alive.

A kids attitude is something to be feared and respected, they've gotten it from somewhere!!

You head up to check on them, see if they need any assistance...

Then you walk in on them playing on their phone...

You take the phone and give them a scalding. Encourage them to keep at it. Demand if you must!

You carry on with your business and then decide to take them a snack. They must be starving after all that hard work! Right?!

The poor kid is exhausted and snoozing at his desk. You almost feel bad for him, but it's quickly replaced with an overwhelming joy. 

Your proud of him. 

Attitude and angry faces are all worth it when you see him hard at work.

Lil Speed Dreamer..

It seems like everything goes by so fast these days!

You know us kids are growing up quicker than you grow'd ups can blink!

I get asked a lot what I wanna be when I get to be a grow'd up.

I think hard about that a lot. It changes with every new experience. 

But this time, at least for now, I want to be a Race Car Driver!

They get to be hyper in a car and don't get yelled at for it!!

My dads got me this new bed set since it's my current obsession. Thanks Papa and Daddy!!

It's hard choices like, where these frames are going that keep me occupied...

Sometimes, when no ones looking. I like to slide down the hood, just for fun! (not an actual animation)

I Count Laps, not Sheep. Story of my life!! -hashtag- The struggle is real *nods his head in seriousness*

At the end of the day, no matter what I wanna be. I know for sure, I'm always Dads Lil Champ.

Go Team GO!

With school starting back, we have more to think about than just what we're going to learn, 

where we're going to sit at lunch, what we're going to wear (eek!)

We also have to think about after school programs and things to do!

I don't know about you, but my dads` have been up my booty about it!

So, I'm going to choose what any boy like me would choose...Wait for it...

*rushes around to get into position*

*Gets in his stance, smiles his biggest and cheers as enthusiastically as he can muster*

"S-P-I-R-I-T, spirit!

Hey, let us hear it!

Gonna high gear it!

'Cause we've got spirit!"

*jumps around wildly as he yells, attempting the leg kicks as he was shown*

*Shakes his pom poms and smiles his big*

 *victory dances as the team scores*

Once Upon a Backpack!!

Parents and kids alike seem to love this time of year! Summer is over (womp womp). 

We've all had our share of fun camps. For some of us that was the beginning of a new Journey.

Now, we have to buckle down and put our learning hats on!!

The best part about school starting again? New Clothes! New Accessories! New Backpacks!!

I just arrived at the bus stop, looking fabulously cool with my new backpack from OUAT!

It wasn't long before more people started showin up at the Bus Stop. Apparently, it's a trend this year!

No big surprise that everyone had one. Do you see how cool they are?! They also play the theme song when clicked. It makes you wanna karate chop something!! Or has some Pizza...

Backpacks are available at Once Upon a Toy

Friends are Funny!!!

School is starting back up soon!! Everyone is rushing around like crazy trying to get things prepared and gathered for their first day. Notebooks, Pencil Cases, Trapper Keepers (you remember those?)

A new BackPack! Ah I can't wait for that!!

One thing everyone might be forgetting are those 'special' side items...

the little trickster items you can use to prank your friends!

Just give em a nice pat on the back, stand back and have some giggles..

You could be one of the nice friends and help them earn a little extra Linden :D

They'll never even know it was you!
