What Cha Doin’?

Hello!

The other night Jack was on his ipad and as always, I ask, “What cha lookin’ at?” (In my good pronounced grammar.)

And his response…be still my heart!
He tells me, “Pinterest!”
“What…” I ask.
“Pinterest.”

An by golly, he was! He was surfing Pinterest!

He was looking up different STEM challenges and things to create! I quickly made a board for him to save all his pins!

Check back next week for a few of the “inventions” Jack created with craft sticks. Who knew all the things you can create from a stick!

I Lost Him!

Hello!

Thursday Night means one thing for us…Sam’s football game!
Last week I was taking pictures and suddenly he was gone!
“Where’s Sam?”

Then I spotted him…at the bottom of the pile! On the previous picture you can see his shoulder pad peeking up from the bottom of the pile..the striped shoulder pad by the blue helmet. That’s my boy!!

He did score himself a bit of a turf burn on his arm, which he quickly assessed, but all was good.

Thank goodness…because I would hate to have to yell, “MY BABY! OH MY BABY!!” while running onto the field to see if he was ok, much to the horror of Sam.

A Fun Weekend…

Hello!

Another busy weekend under our belts, but not as busy as the previous weekend! Jack went off to school last Friday morning and due to our schedules (his going to the football game Friday night and a birthday party on Saturday night) I worked on Friday and Saturday, so I didn’t see him again, until Sunday after his football game!

We were both beat by then, so I laid on the couch and he laid RIGHT BESIDE ME! Someone needed to be with his mom(wink wink.)

It wasn’t long before the weekend took over and Jack was OUT!!

When he woke up (about an hour and a half later) he asked what I had been doing while he was asleep. I told him I didn’t want him to feel bad for sleeping, so I slept too! 🙂

Flowers!

Hello!

This spring I tested out some flowers in our circle flower garden. I wasn’t sure if things were ready to grown in it after digging out all the flowers last fall and dousing it with round up in order to kill off the poison ivy that had taken over the garden.

So this spring, I planted a few flowers to “test” how they would grow. I must report…I was proud! One particular flower was huge! Each time I would drive by it, I thought, “My word! That flower is amazing!” (pat pat on my back)

Even Jason asked me, “Did you see that flower?”
“I did! It’s huge!”

Jason, “That’s because it’s a weed!”
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?

Oh. My. Golly. He was right! The actual flower is in the upper left corner with lighter green leaves. The rest…is a weed. That is one humongous weed I grew. (pat pat on my back)

Well, Jason dug it out. So my flower garden isn’t so impressive anymore.

 

Stitches…

Hello!

Jason decided that instead fo paying 60 bucks for the Dr. to take out his stitches, he could do it…with a little help from his assistant, Jack.

I started out watching, along with Jack. Jason soon realized, he didn’t have the best angle and that the stitches had been surround by the scabs. Ew.

It didn’t take long, for me to need to put my feet up. Here’s Jack deciding on the best way he could clip the stitches. After “successfully” getting one of the three stitches out, it was decided to try again another time. I am happy to report (I think) that a couple of days later, Jason removed the other two stitches on his own. With little bleeding this time.

Finally!

Hello!

We have finally jumped through all the hoops in order for Jack to start his allergy shots. He was so excited to start them…tells you how bad he has been feeling.

Once a week we head to the allergy nurse in town. Jack ices his arms before the shots to help lower his reaction to the shots, which are actually little doses of the allergens he is allergic to. Afterwards, we apply Bendryl cream and more ice. The first day of shots, we did not do any of this and he had bad itchy, swollen, red arms. It may seem like and entire process, but it will be so worth it in the long run!
