sick kid---- again

We have had a heck of a time with the flu this winter. Sophie is the latest victim--- again. :-(

Grace, a splinter, and pandemonium

Truly, you would have thought she was getting crucified.

The splinter was maybe an eighth of an inch long, and it wasn't as though I had to dig it out with a needle--- a pair of tweezers did the trick. Well, it did the trick only after I put her in some fancy all-star wrestling moves to hold her down. Grace & I were both sweating like pigs after our little battle royale--- I had both legs wrapped around her and, quite frankly, it was only sheer luck that I even grabbed the splinter with the tweezers. Shampoo got knocked into the tub, mud was all over the bathroom floor from her shoes, the bathroom throw rug was wadded into a ball--- it was a fiasco, a throw-down. My ears are still ringing from her screaming.

What a sissy! ;-)

Gracie is 6!

My baby turned 6 years old yesterday and, of course, we had to celebrate at Chuck E Cheese. So Yummy. ;-)




I thought this one was funny just because you can see her two big top teeth coming in....


--and I shall call this "Lord of the Dance, Chuck E Cheese style"
