Calm Down, Mommy!

Graham has had a terrible time since Christmas with colds and ear infections. One Saturday he had a fever which I had been treating with Tylenol. Around 6:30PM, I gave him his bedtime dose. At 7:30, when I was taking him to bed, I realized his fever had not gone down at all. I took his temp and it was 104.7.

I totally freaked out, because I thought the medicine should have already worked - so what would it have been had I not given him the Tylenol??? Jason was working overtime, so I yelled to Carter and Hunter to get their shoes on and get in the car. I grabbed Grahams stuff, while frequently yelling to the boys to hurry up. The boys couldn't understand the urgency, so I unfortunatley stated something about thier baby brother's brain frying (awful, I know). Carter was ready to go, but watching me scurry about. He calmly stepped in front of me and said "Don't worry Mom, Graham is acting normally. I don't think its really that bad."

Ha! Reality check. I don't need anxiety medicine...I have Carter.

Hunter is Five!!!!!

Hunter turned the big 05 on Saturday, September 26th. He had a Mario Bros themed party. It turned out pretty well. He had a good turn-out at his party, even though it came a flood about the time everyone had to get in their cars. Thanks to all who braved the weather! The kids had a great time and no one got konked in the head while they were trying to break the pinata! :-) Hunter's Cake - I didn't even cry while decorating it! Daddy and Graham watching the Pinata action! Temporary Tattoos Isaac hitting the Chomp Chomp Pinata Hunters BIG present - A playground that is still sitting in boxes!

Carter for President

So, Saturday afternoon Carter decided he was running for President. This idea came from the book he recently purchased at the school book fair "Spongebob for President". He decided to make flyers saying "Carter for Prezident" and put them all around the house. I went upstairs to fold the laundry and came back downstairs to find his flyer creation station empty. I went outside and saw flyers all around the porch, but no sign of Carter. I called his name inside the house, I called his name outside the house and then I caught a glimpse of him halfway down the driveway. I thought he was heading down the driveway, but he was actually coming back up. I said "What on earth are you doing?" and he said I went to Mr. James' house to ask him to vote for me and he gave me a check. I almost passed out! I thought he had conned our neighbor into giving him a campaing donation. After he made it back to the top of the hill he showed me his notebook where he had writte...
