Fishing/camping!

Yes finally camping!!  Much needed relaxation from the stressful weeks!  Things have been hectic since school has started back, baseball, and trying to get our pig ready for the fair!  I should have known after last year that after Christmas break school is no longer fun (as Carter is stating)!  But his teacher just went out on maternity leave and trust me when I say this I told myself that my child would have no problems with this transition and boy was I WRONG!!  He loves his teacher and loved going to school so this has became a MAJOR issue for this momma come morning time!! He begs and pleads for me to let him stay home with me and that school is no longer fun and I know what it is, he misses his teacher terribly and I have no idea how to make things better for him.  I have reached out to the principal and the substitute teacher (which there have been a few things that  have upset him with her and like I said he loves his REAL teacher so this is hard for him) and I am now hoping things will get better but I honestly don't think he will be happy until she returns!  So this has made school morning terrible because my poor heart just wants to keep him home and make him happy but I know I can't so then I just worry and stress all day about him and how his day is going and can't wait to pick him up and pray that he had a good day and made the best of it. Then baseball has started which we love our kids playing and Carter is super excited about it so that has made things a little better for him gives him something to look forward to after school, Braden has also started and is doing great!!  The boys are on different teams unlike last year so things have gotten pretty busy and very fast! But everyone is excited and looking forward to the season!  Braden and Wilbur (his pig) have been working hard on getting ready for the big show next at the end of March!  I think daddy is more stressed out about the pig then any of us!  Which there is a lot that goes into this not just feed your pig and show him!  We have to be a certain weight and he cant' go over or we can't show so then we lose out on all of the  money we have spent on him and trust me it has not been cheap!  But Braden has done great and has kept up the responsibilities that have came with the pig (which was a reason we are doing this)! We are looking forward to the show and pray that Braden does great and that our pig will make the sale!  So after all of this and that fishing/camping trip was well needed here!  We had a great time and enjoyed some great weather!  Can't wait to go camping again!!
