Crazy Hair Day

So, I have some stuff to update from the last couple weeks but right now I wanted to share Bryan's hair for school today. It's spirit week at school and yesterday was pj day and today is crazy hair...



Of course I took the pink spray and the glitter spray to school and I was the hit of the kindy crowd.. no one got as much as Bryan but they got something...

ER Visit last night.

So, yesterday Bryan woke up with an extremely sore neck -- to the point of tears. I tried icing it, massaging it, motrin -- nothing helped. I called his ped's office just after 5 and waited for a call back but he was begging to go to the hospital because it hurt so bad, so Paul came home and we took him in. It was a long night -- we didn't get out of there til around 8pm. He was starting to feel better so I felt kind of like a heel for bringing him in but the doc didn't let it phase her, just basically said "well, since you're here why don't you tell me about it and let me check it out" so he did, he was presenting as guarding his shoulder and neck which was a clue that something was wrong -- so she felt around he yelped when it hurt -- he had a nasty spasm in his trap (left side) and get this, they use valium (crushed up and added to cherry syrup) as a muscle relaxer for kids... so he drank that down, got a popsicle since he didn't like the taste and slept the night through (after a quick stop at McD in the hospital for his dinner) -- woke up with no pain this morning. Still need to keep up with the motrin for the day and take it kind of easy since he hasn't regained full motion yet but he's getting there and we are heading up to Knott's Berry Farm tonight after Paul's softball game and then a stop in Dana Point for some whale watching on Saturday.

Carrot Raisin Muffins

What is this mess on my table?!?!


So, this Friday Bryan had a"Spring Party" at school. Being the lover of baking that he is we found a recipe for Carrot Muffins. I oops and didn't but grated carrots so I just chopped up the julienned carrots. I used glazed walnuts instead of plain. And I did mini-muffins versus regular sized. Bryan and I made one batch (the one shown) on Tuesday and those wound up going to Paul's office since I wanted a fresh batch for school and I also bought four times the carrot I needed! Paul had commented to me that while they were inhaled in his office he wasn't too sure how the kids would like them since they weren't overly sweet. I have about half the muffins that came back with me after the party. Oh well, more for us!





Rating: 4.5/5 forks up!

My Life. In Pictures: Day 5

I slacked on Day 5. I was out of the house all day with school stuff and then had a t-ball game after that. I hope to try one of these again. It's been a total blast seeing what everyone comes up with and what kind of comments I get.

My Life. In Pictures: Day 4

It's Day 4 in Amber's Photo Adventure! The topic today something you do every day.

So, here you go, I was thinking of coffee, Starbucks, snuggles with my child..but I opted for this.



This picture shows how a day starts and ends for me...taking my temp before I even try to get out bed .. (that'd be the start) and then every night after stories, bible story and devotional, and finally prayer Bryan comes from his room into mine, curls up makes sure I say "Sweet Dreams" and start up Big Rock Candy Mountain for him to fall asleep to -- as he's cuddled up of course.

My Life. In Pictures: Day 3

So it's day two in Amber's Photo Challenge! Today's theme is ... "View From Front Door"

Not too terribly exciting since I live in a townhouse so I had an option of either showing you my neighbors doors or turning a little and catching the view to the mailbox.. I opted to turn..



Tomorrow is something you do each day.... hmmm.. pondering that one.

My Life. In Pictures: Day 2

So it's day two in Amber's Photo Challenge! Today's theme is ... "Something on your table." -- well my table is kind of crowded right now, it's been a busy day...




Let's see, what do we have... a peek of a laundry basket (our laundry closet is in the dining area), then I was cleaning out my camera bag so we have an extra body, assortment of lenses, flash, extra battery (need to find #3!!) my coffee cup that my mom bought me when I had my son, my DS, ever present "Dinner Games" tin, camera bag, kid's homework folder, and various art projects that the child has started...as witnessed by the paint residue around my coffee cup...

Guess I need to clean up the table before dinner tonight!
