BubbaTubbs: Muffins with Bubba

Muffins with Bubba

Bubba's school had "muffins with mom" this morning at school.

I love having the opportunity to be at the boys' schools...and I thought this was a great idea. I don't know if this is something they do every year, but I think they should. They served packaged muffins and orange juice for 30 minutes before the school bell rang. It was funny to watch some of the kids around me eat quickly and shoo their moms away. I tried to engage Bubba in conversation as we ate and thankfully he didn't eat too quickly. I was hoping he wasn't going to tell me he was ready for me to leave. When I asked if I could take a picture of us together he didn't hesitate, even though he probably thinks his mama is lame. (Maybe he has just gotten used to me taking pictures of everything)

What I REALLY loved was Bubba holding my hand all the way from the car to the muffin line inside the cafeteria. I know this isn't going to last much longer and still sometimes I can see him hesitate when I ask him to hold my hand. But today he held my hand for a long time.

After muffins I walked Bubba to his classroom and he still had 10-15 minutes until the bell rang. I like to watch him interact with the girls and play with his buddies. He waited patiently for some of his friends to get there and I left a few minutes before the bell rang. Even though he is in 1st grade and he is such a big boy (literally) I still get sad when I have to leave him at school. Some of you are thinking I am crazy right now, but even when I drop him off at school in the morning I watch him walk up to the gate in my rear view mirror and miss the days he was home with me. I am definitely not one of those mothers who longed for the day for him to be in school.

Anyways---since Bubba got muffins with mama today, Tubbs got donuts with daddy. Luke had to go to traffic court this morning before work so he took Tubbs with him and stopped for donuts on their way back. Thank you Luke for making sure Tubbs had a special morning too.

That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....

So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
