ENT Doc

We will be leaving at lunchtime to go see the ENT doc for Jackson's ears. Praying for good results.

Last day

This is our last day in Colorado. While I am sad we have to leave because we had so much fun, I am ready to go home and decorate our house for Christmas! We are going to buy a tree this week.

We will also be leaving next Thursday to go to Mississippi to see my bro and family and for my best friend's wedding. I am thrilled to be the matron of honor in this special day!

Photos coming soon. :)

No good very bad morning

Jack was a happy camper until he accidentally fell and bit his lip. I looked and there was blood all over the place. Oh no.......I ran over and grabbed a Popsicle for him to suck on to help with the swelling. If he was a little girl, people would think he had the prettiest rosy lips.

Then, we had a check up at the doctor's for his ear infection. There is a drawer in the cabinet in every room and Jackson likes to open it and gently close it. Well, some Dennis the Menis had already broken it and the staff had thought they fixed it.  Nope.....I was talking with the doctor and he pulled it open and it fell straight down. It scared him to death. It didn't hurt him, but it sure did make matter worse.

He now has an appointment for the ENT doctor and will probably have tubes next week.

Now, that it is almost noon, I have declared that the NO GOOD VERY BAD MORNING is over and my hubby is home. He is finished with finals and is very happy. We are going to Colorado today and are supposed to have snow on Sunday. I am praying for a great flight with my boys and a wonderful time while we are there.

Until next week........

Brown paper packages: FAIL

I had this wonderful idea to wrap all of my Christmas presents in brown paper. However, I forgot that I always get sinus infections if I am around cardboard boxes. Well, same idea.......FAIL.

Nose running, eyes watering, coughing, sneezing. So much fun. Ben suggested that I wear a dust mask to wrap gifts. Could you picture that?!?!? hahaha

I am going back to the standard paper. Ho, Ho Ho!

3 days

On Wednesday, we will be flying to Colorado. Jack's bags are already packed. Ben and I need to pack ours still. I am going to work on cleaning our house today because who wants to come home from vacation to a dirty/messy house? Not the Ladd family.

Uh Oh.......Weeee

We had fun outside in our 70 degrees weather. Being inside all day with this illness was making both of us a little crazy. So, we went for a walk and got to see the train go by. I usually don't have the timing just perfect and we miss seeing the train by 10 seconds. Today was the day. I was halfway up the street and turned around when I heard the first toot. Jack and I looked at each other. He made the Choo-choo hand motion and noise and we were off. You should have seen me running down the street with my NON-JOGGING stroller. We were booking it. We arrived at the perfect viewing area and Jackson was so excited. When the last two sets of wheels were out of sight, Jackson said "more, please." I said, "I'm sorry, Jack. All finished." This boy loves trains!

After our walk,  I decided to let Jack run around while I did some yard work. I couldn't use the leaf blower around Jackson, so I raked the leaves a while. Jackson decided that when he would run through my piles of leaves (that I had carefully put together), that he would yell "uh oh." I tell him that it was NOT an accident. So, every time he would run through them, I would yell "weeee." It was a fun little vocal battle we were having. I bet the neighbors got a kick out of it. "uh oh........not uh oh......weeeee.......uh oh......weee......"

Jack is asleep now, so I am going to work on some laundry and watch a Christmas movie. Ben is at work until 3am, so I am going to work a while and then relax. Good night, everyone.

I can't cut hair

When a little boy won't sit still for his mommy to cut his hair, you end up with a very bad haircut. So, we are on our way to a professional. :)
