Soaking Wet Keds

Earlier this afternoon, while babysitting Parker (8) and Tanner (4), we went down by the lake to feed the geese. Tanner could not hold in all his excitement to see these "black ducks” so, he took a triumphant leap up in the air... and landed in the water. I could not help but laugh when I saw his little eyes grow to the size of golf balls. He just looked at me waiting to see what I would say. Watching this brought me back to when I was his age.



My family was visiting Callaway gardens. Of course, I was acting very rambunctious (when was a time that I was not?) While having our pictures made by a small pond, something caught my eye. It was a frog. I constructed a foolproof plan to capture the little green guy. As I turn to go get him my mom said, "Caroline don't do that. You will fall in." In my raspy little voice, I said, "I won't fall in." SPLASH. My beautiful, most likely hand-me-down, keds tennis shoes were at the bottom of the pond. I just looked at my mom with wide eyes waiting for a response. I remember feeling embarrassed for what I had done.  I jumped out of the water as quick as I could. My mom scooped me up, and it was off to the bathroom to be cleaned up. I am sure my mom was frustrated having me complain about my wet shoes all day. However, I know she could not help but smile when she saw her little mess maker walking around in soaking wet keds.



I cannot help but miss being that careless little mess maker. Growing up was the least of my worries. All I knew was my shoes were wet.

War Eagle to being little.

#hashtag CAM

#helloblogreaders I would like to express my love for #hashtags. They don't do anything on here, but I wish they did. I love to #hashtag! I do not know why but I just want to put a #hashtag on everything. I really want to #hashtag my name on the top of my papers. I feel like my teachers would get really annoyed though. Whatevs.

Some other good news that I did not tell you about is (drum role please)....... I MET CAM NEWTON!!!!

I know what you are thinking. You already know this because the only people that read my blog see it from my facebook link. And the picture of me and him has been up for like a month #wellkeepreadinganyways

I just do not think I will every be able to express in words how excited I really was to meet him. My heart was racing, I could not stop smiling, and I told him I loved him way too many times. IT. WAS. GREAT. #BESTDAYOFMYLIFE My wedding day will probably be the only thing to top it. #sorryfuturekids

WAR EAGLE TO THAT!!! #LOVEMESOMECAM

Frustration

I am way too frustrated at teachers, people, not being 16, and the 44 days of school I have left. So, I do not have much to say right now. I will let you know what is going on with pictures that have been semi-recently taken by/of me. Enjoy
