Scary night......

Tuc started running a fever Monday after noon, of coarse by #5 you just give them Motrin and say "tis the season! " Well last night about 9:00 he said "mom, why does my leg have bumps? That's when we notices a small patch of hives. I gave him Benadryl and we watched and waited by 9:30 it had doubled in size it was swollen and hot to touch. That's when we decided it might be serious and headed to the E.R. After several hours they still didn't know what it was but sent us home and said to go to our pediatrician this morning. (glad I paid them my $75, thanx for your help) by 2:00 a.m. this is what he looked like......

I gave him more benadryl and covered him in Calamine. He is still asleep I'll let you know what I find out!

Birthday Boy!

Thanx everybody who came and supported Colby on this biggest of day's! (It is when your 7 lol)

Old & Busted... New hotness!

(If you know my love of quotes that one is from Men in Black)

Another of my old friends has passed on!

Is it normal to have an emotional attachment to inanimate objects? Well I often do! I have had this stove for 13 years I picked it out when we built our first house. Last week as I walked past it (really all I did was walk past) the door FELL open and refused to close (I even tried standing there and holding it for a minute to see if it would stay, it wouldn't). A friend suggested tying it closed, that didn't work either. So with much sadness, not only because my friend would never burn choco chip cookies for me again (to her defense she always tried to warn me with her timer, but she couldn't take them out herself!) And also sadness because if I am going to spend our hard earned $$$ I don't want it to be on appliances! I have purchased a new (used) stove. So say hello to my new friend (I have owned her for 2 days and haven't used her) So today we are going on our maiden voyage what should I cook??? I guess I should start with the old standby choco chop cookies, you can't go wrong there! Wish us luck with our new relationship!!

First date...

Devon was very nervous to be picked up on his first date, especially because he didn't know if it would be her dad picking him up! (it was her mom) He was ready by 6:00 to be picked up at 6:30, by 7:00 he was starting to think he had been stood up! I assured him girls were always late! It was worth the wait she looked beautiful! She had brought him a boutonniere

(opps was it my job to get a corsage?)

After 10 min of watching them struggle to pin it on, I tried to help, after another 10 min her mom tried to help, soon after it was decided to just put the boutonniere in his pocket!

They looked so cute together and they had a great time!
