I know I know not what you were thinking. But hey guess what we started the week off with the water heater breaking :) Thanks to Jacob, who I sent down to put trash in the bin, for noticing the huge amounts of water on the garage floor. So after a whole night of crying and oh wait first the next Valentines treat which is:
Then after more and more crying, and giving up I got the new water heater on Monday. But the real Valentines treat I got was:
These are the pretty flowers which were delivered to me for Valentines day!!! And believe it or not, the star gazer lilies are still blooming, so its like never ending, which is fine by me :) I also got the most amazing card. SO really I cant complain.
And then get this!!!!!!
That's right your not seeing things. Those are actual Jolly Rancher sticks!!!!! I have loved these for all my life and Lynn was the best ever and sent these to me :) I cant thank her enough, I think this was soooo needed!!! I called them my life raft, they keep me afloat when I feel as if I'm drowning.
Anyways, after Monday the week was going well, you know the usual stuff of work and making dinner with my buddy. Here are some pics of him helping:
First is spaghetti!!!
Why not try out the noodles first? yes he loves to eat hard noodles :) And Jacob thought he would help out too, all he did was hold the box.
And now for fajitas :)
Then on our way home from work on Friday we were trying to beat the pizza man who ended up pulling up right after us. So that was good timing. But Greysen had a conversation with the guy about the moon (which was sooooo huge and awesome!!!!) so I wanted to take a picture of it. However I forgot, I was too hungry to remember such things. So when I remembered, this is what the moon looked like.
Ya not as impressive!!
Ok so here we go, Saturday afternoon. I thought I was doing good!! I decided to clean the house, however the boys had a different plan. So all of a sudden I heard a huge thump. Ya that was G's head hitting the tile floor!!! Huge knot on the back on his head. So I told him to sit on the couch and I called mom. Ya only about 15 min later he was asleep. So I'm thinking that isn't good. so time to call dad. He told me to take him to the ER right away!!!!! So with the nice steaks sitting ready to be cooked on the counter, we all packed into the truck and to the hospital we were bound. So the time is 530 pm, we checked in and sat down with all the hundreds of sick and hurt kids. Oh maybe around 700pm we got called back, thinking we were going to see a doctor they just took his vitals and put on our hospital bracelets and sent us back out to sit with all those sick and hurt kids. Mostly sick by the way except for the boy who arrived after us with a hurt finger, which was slammed in a door. So then around 830ish the boy, who arrived after us, with the hurt finger, was called in to see the doctor. Ya the finger before the head. I was a little mad but thought for sure we were going to be called back soon. So around 900ish no one had been called back since. So I went to the window and asked how much longer. Only to be told one other was in front of us, the only other one in front of us was a kid with a fever who ran around screaming and having fun the whole time we were there. So that means a fever before a head injury. So I got my pissy mommy pants on and told them we were leaving and would never return to such a disorganized hospital whose priorities were completely messed up!!!!
But anyways while we were sitting there G let me take a picture of his poor little head, here it is:
So that was the excitement and the BIG BANG to the end of the week!!!!! Anyhow after we went home (after getting Wendy's for dinner) he was fine!!! Just a bump, or rather large bump, but he is just as feisty as ever!!!!
OH but we cant forget Sunday, the day that marks our 4 weeks. It was spent cleaning the house, geocaching with Jacob's Den, eating a nice quiet steak dinner with Jacob (G was sleeping) and then playing "Which Came First the Chicken or the Egg?" with both boys. G actually can guess pretty well. He almost won, but I am so much smarter and won both rounds. Here are some pics of Geocaching. Oh and if you don't know what that is. Its where you get coordinates of several different "treasures" which others have hidden. This park we went to had many but we just looked for 4. The boys were so good they found all 4. And some were pretty hard. I am quite surprised that they were found. But it was very fun.
Learning how to read a map and using a compass
Greysen collecting rocks for his backpack
Off we go to find the first treasure.
Searching for the first one using the handy GPS:
Its been found!!!
Jacob using the GPS to find the next treasure. Each took a turn to find a treasure.
that one has been found!!! This one was very tricky. Very camouflage!!! It looked like a leaf on the tree. Good thing there were not any other leaves on the tree!!
So ya, G thinks he is a master photographer and this is his shot of "nature"
So 4 treasures found, and the prickles of stickers all over G's body, we found our way back to the car and home we went. It was an enjoyable day. I hope someday we can do it again and maybe G will find it in his heart to walk most of the way!!!
Well onto week 5. I will be so sad to not talk to you every night before bed. It will be hard to go to sleep not hearing your voice, and knowing what is going on in your life. I hope your travels were safe and if you are reading this that means you made it safely and soon we will be hearing from you. We love you with all our heart, and think about you every day. Especially G who loves you more then me :)
