You watered it with what?

We were just outside filling up the bird feeder. Tommy asked if he could take some of the seeds to plant and grow a Thistle plant.
Scratching my head, I said ok. I didn't even know what one was, how does he?
This is what it is:
OK....I think it is a weed.

Anyways, I said "Sure".

Really, we all know it won't grow. It was an activity that took him 10 minutes to do. Score!

He dug a hole.

Put the seeds in.

Covered it up.

Went in the house to get some water for it.

The problem........

He came out with his SNEAKER filled with water!

Oh my.......I was laughing so hard! I asked him why. He said he couldn't find anything to put hte water in!

At least he was creative!

You know it is a bad day when......

Your son decides to make a gun out of Duplo blocks in the middle of Church Playgroup. OOPS!

Ummm...ya......

Our local church has a wonderful playgroup that we have been going to weekly for 5 years. For $1 a kid there is 3 rooms of toys, a snack room, craft room and Ms.Vicki comes and plays songs, dances and parachute. She ends it reading a bible based story. That is how my kids get a little bit of Jesus. Please don't flame.

While I was with Katie doing the music, Tommy was playing with some boys in the other room. Typical for moms with more than 1. It is gated off, no one is going anywhere.

I went to check on him and got the "You are HIS mom" glare from a mother.

Come on, we know you have all gotten that one time or another.

I knew something wasn't right. I look over and he was making several guns for the other boys. *sigh* I did put an end to that activity and made him move on to something else.

I wonder if they will let me back in.

What is in your cabinets?

Or worse.....what is in your fridge?

Sam took the initiative to clean out our cabinets, freezer and refrigerator!

She came grocery shopping with me and when we got home, she asked if she could organize the kitchen food cabinet.

Ummmmm.....YA!!!!

I looked over and she had everything out of them and was wiping them down! Holy Cow!
After working on that she moved to the refrigerator!

I crack up at this picture because when I asked her to pose she said "Ugh, is this for your blog?" Oh, she knows me all to well!

After, she has decided to make cupcakes with Tommy for dessert!

Hmm....I wonder what she will be asking for.

You are Playing with What?!?

Gotta love a 2 year old's speech!

Another Add to His Fashion Sense (or not!)

If you saw the post below, you saw my son's non-fashion statement today. I had to add this.

It was his "riding bike" attire. *shaking head*

Someone Call the Fashion Police!

I asked Tommy to get his shoes and socks on this morning. This is what he looked like.

He said he put his pants in his socks so his pants do not roll up. Poor kid. Yesterday he tried to wear sandals with socks. *shaking head*

He gets his fashion sense from his dad , not his mom.

Back to Normal!

I think we are getting back to our regular life today. Everyone is feeling good! *knocks on wood*
What a weekend. I like having my Katie Mae back! She was not herself.

This is us in the ER. Such a sad look! (by the way, I was taking these for her daddy and sending the via cell phone. He was home with the others)
By morning she was SOOOOO much better! I bought her a pink etcher sketch. She loved it and was showing anyone who came in the room!
And us waiting for the car to go home. Ice cream makes it all better!

We're Home!

Just a quick post. I wanted to let you know we are home. Katie is doing great. It is amazing how dehydrated they can get and so fast!

She is a trooper!

Staying for the Night

They decided to keep Katie overnight. When they did her bloodwork all her levels were really low. They don't feel comfortable sending her home.

I took her to Children's Hospital rather than our local one. I have had such great experiance with the doctors since Tommy started coming here for his asthma. I made the right decision. They have brought her a balloon, a dog in a purse and there is a Leprecan walking around doing magic tricks!

Hopefully we will be home in the morning! Thanks for all the well wishes!

Blogging from the hospital

Poor Katie has not got better. She has been vomiting since Wednesday and has now become dehydrated.

We are here getting an IV of fluids. Hopefully this will make her better abd they wll send us home. Last time we did this she ended up here for 3 days.

Keep your fingers crossed!

Ugh Puke......

Why is it when your husband has a meeting at night, a child starts to puke? Leaving all the clean up to me?

Poor Katie just fell asleep after throwing up several times in an hour. She puked before bed. I cleaned her up and brought her upstairs. She didn't want a story, she just wanted to sleep. Even instructing me to leave her room!

Not 10 minutes later when she is fast asleep, she is puking again. Projectile. Not a pretty sight seeing she had "pigs in a blanket" at dinner time.

The topper, I put clean sheets on her bed today.

She is fast asleep on the couch now. She keeps waking up to throw up. It is going to be a long night.

Easter Candy, why do I hate you so much?

Why is it when you are trying to eat good Easter candy comes out?

It is my FAVORITE time of year for candy. Cadbury Eggs and the Cadbury mini chocolate eggs are my fav. So deadly, especially for a dieting girl.

The new thing I discovered. Cadbury makes Mini Cadbury Cream Eggs. They come in a little package of 12. You can just pop one at a time on your mouth! No mess!

**SIGH**

His New Glasses

When we were at the eye doctor yesterday, Tommy got to get a prize out of the Treasure Chest.

He chose some funny glasses. He has been wearing them all day.

In the car


This is heading out to school! He walked in with them on hoping no one would recognize him!

He also walked through the Town Hall with them. He is getting a big kick out of them!

The mustache comes off and he tells us he shaved.

The Eye Dr- Great Results!

Tommy went for his 4 month eye exam today. He has had to wear glasses full time for the past 4 months.

I am happy to say his vision is improving and he doesn't have to wear them full time! Just 2-3 hours a day!

He is SUPER excited to go to preschool without them!
