Eventful

Friday 3/26/10:

Dentist appointment for routine cleaning.  Find cracked tooth on one side, and gaping hole where filling used to be on other side.  Very painful to chew and very expensive to fix.  I say time to diet.

Later that day:

Quin's 1st birthday! We don't go big on birthdays around here, but we do take lots of pictures and have cake and give gifts.  All good things.  Unless you don't like cake:

Or you're sleepy:

(He was moving, can you tell?)  (That or I was....lol)

 

This was after the happiness of presents.  Notice a theme here?

He's getting his 5th tooth.  At least. 

He loves to clunk the shoes on the floor.  And stick foam letters in them.  Always fun to find a "Q" in your shoe.

Grandma, this is when you were singing to him:

And when he was screaming because we wouldn't let him have the phone:

Saturday and Sunday, nothing special.

Monday:  Garden prep and yard aeration (thanks to my rockin' husband!)

Gotta love a goose poopy yard.  ;)

Two large gardens for my veges and such...

...and an "L" shaped one in front for perdy fowlers.  :)  Again, thanks Matt!!! You rock! (Glad your back's better!)

Big helper:

A super cutie face:

And, you know how when you go to Walmart for one thing and end up leaving with 50 million other things? We did that, too.  Except I'm thinking we could've done without this extra item:

Long story short, his genius mother said he could run around the empty garden center, he tripped on a roll of shrink wrap, his loving parents made him try to twist it all day to see if it was really hurt, then finally took him to the ER that night because he couldn't sleep.  He broke his radius and ulna. I expect my Mother of the Year Award in the mail any day now.

Yesterday, we got to see a funeral procession for a fallen soldier.  That was quite awesome. 

AND FINALLY, to top off my super fun week of events, Quin got his 1 year shots yesterday (one in each arm and each leg - ouch!) and he spikes a fever of 102.9 yesterday evening.  Then he starts crying for something like 20 minutes straight.  His doctor says he was probably coming down with something as the 1st year shots typically don't invoke a reaction that quickly. 

I made him a little bed in our living room today so I could put him down for a minute.  I'm exhausted because I saw every hour on the clock last night at least once AND he woke up at 6:30am.  My kitchen's a mess from the few days previous happenings, my laundry is behind and I'm wearing sweats.  I'm clean, though, so life's not too bad.  ;)

And that's my life in a nutshell.  Oh, did I mention it's spring break and snowing? Yeah.  My kids are going stir crazy.  I told my husband the house would be clean when he got home today.  We'll see.  :)
