Oh for cripes sakes! Just got back from the ER with the 5YO! She jumped into bed trying to show off for nap time, and really bonked her head on the 4x4 post my Dad made them from. She was gushing blood everywhere. Got it cleaned up and it was 1 1/2 inch gash. SO, call my Dad and have him...
I'm glad she's doing ok. :hugs ER runs are never fun and I seem to do them with my oldest more than anyone. She's just going to be 9 in December and last night made 2 for head issues, 2 for middle of the night screaming ear infections, 4 for asthma, I think that's all of them... :ep Only gone...
Didn't totally rule it out, but we talked about the need for the CT scan and decided that she was doing okay. He said it would have been different if she had fallen 10 feet or gotten hit by a baseball bat.
This morning, there actually wasn't a lump, but considering she started out with a...
Today's list:
1. Call Dr's office to get a follow-up appt after ER visit last with 8YO - no concussion, but quite the bump on her head.
2. Dishes
3. Laundry
4. Call extension office to find local 4-H club to join
5. Beg Dad to come over and get the kids off the bus tomorrow from 4K while taking...
Rained all day yesterday, about 2 inches worth. So, couldn't get an ark built in time to get to the apple trees, so did stuff inside, like the horrible pile of mending. :sick one pair of pants to go, but couldn't find my interfacing and butterfly cutouts to use to patch the knee.
Otherwise...
Here were the girls (and the neighbor's girl) playing dress up the other day. I'm not sure what we're doing for Halloween this year. Requirement is usually that it has to fit over a snowsuit, because it can get COLD trick-or-treating. That, or you can't mind if your princess dress is covered...
Well, my 8YO is feeling jealous, so can I make her a tractor cake for her birthday. Probably.
It's a cold rainy day. I cleaned yesterday to get ready for the birthday party. The youngest is playing with playdoh. Dog is snoring on the couch. I need to do some laundry and some dishes. Other...
I've done everything from a hamburger, complete with sesame seeds on the top layer and yellow, red, green frosting, to the giraffe and flamingo. One year, I did a sand castle, which was coated in crushed up graham crackers. I've gone a huge cupcake with paper folded to look like the wrapper...
The only thing I learned in my college plant science class was that "You need to warsh your aaaaples"
My father has always said "being have" instead of "behaving" - Do you have any idea how hard it is for me to say that correctly out loud? I have to slow. down. and THINK. ABOUT. IT. :lau
It...
Here are pictures of the latest two birthday cakes that I have muddled through - close one eye ;) , squint the other, and tilt your head and use lots of imagination! Giraffe was from 3YO's party in August and Flamingo was from today's party for 5YO.

Tortoise, I feel your pain and am in the exact same boat.
Lady Henevere - I love this idea and we've been doing some of it, but helps to know that other people go through this, too.
Mine came home the other day and when I asked her what she learned, she told me nothing that she didn't...
Wow,
I've been more of a lurker around here lately than a contributor.
I just finished decorating my now 5YO!!!!!!'s birthday cake for tomorrow. I totally cheated and used boxed mixes and frostings, but she won't care. Her only requirement was that if have a flamingo princess with high heels...
