It's crazy how different things are when you don't work. Actually, it's the craziness that's gone. There's no gettting home at 5 and rushing thru the night to get dinner ready, baths done, stories read, etc. The boys get out of school at 3:10, so if you want to be in the front of the line you have to get there early. We got in line about 2:35 yesterday...Harrison had to get up from his nap early again to go get them...I have got to start putting him down earlier. He was a good sport though, since we would be sitting in the line for so long I let him out of his seat and he danced to some Phineas and Ferb music! Here he is trying out the front seat.
Love this little boy. He can be so sweet and the next minute be gritting his teeth and going after one of his bubbies! The boys are so funny when I pick them up, they do NOT want to talk about their day, they say "maybe when we get home". I let them go in and watch TV for a while since they haven't all day. Yesterday we went outside after that and the boys started getting creative with their trucks and such. I had to run an errand, aka go get dinner, we are putting a new dishwasher in here in just a few minutes so we are trying not to dirty any more dishes than we have to. When I got back J and H were driving the Jeep that H got for his birthday, they were pulling Gray in a dump truck. This is our little engineer, Gray is always coming up with things like this to do...kinda scary sometimes but they have so much fun.
We had all these bandanas from Graysons birthday party and they tied them all together to connect the jeep and the dump truck. They tried the tricycle to the jeep first, that just kept falling over...they finally got to this and it worked! Eureka! Chad is playing (is that the right word?) Fantasy Football this year for the first time and last night he left right before 7 to go to his "draft". The boys were pretty riled up and kept getting in trouble for jumping on each other and screaming...we were supposed to watch a movie so I kept threatening them with that. Shortly after 7 I got onto Harrison for jumping around in our recliner, I thought he was going to fall out on his head, he scared me to death so I spatted his leg and brought him over to the couch and made him sit by me. Well, it broke his heart that I spanked him and he kept trying to get up and I would not let him...Here's the scary part....I picked him up to hold him facing me so I could talk to him and he started to have a seizure, I knew because he had 2 of them over a year ago, I put him down on the floor and he stopped. B.R.E.A.T.H.I.N.G. It was the scariest 30 seconds of my life. I won't go into the details but it was chaos and to make it worse I had a 5 and 6 year old thinking their brother was dead...that's hard to type. As I was on the phone with 911, he came to and started crying...everyone was crying. As Jackson said when things settled down, "at least we got to see a firetruck and ambulance!" Yeah, that's how I wanted to get to see one...they assessed him and by that time he was fine. I'm going to take him to the clinic Monday morning for his pediatrician to see him and give him the once over but looking at him now you would never know anything happened. We watched our movie, ate popcorn, and did A LOT of cuddling! The boys are now playing Fireman with their badge stickers the firemen gave them. Guess I'll go get ready for the dishwasher installation, wish me luck!
And then you've got the "Blues Brothers", Harrison and Gray posing for a random picture on Sunday. Harrison insisted on facing this way...couldn't face the bathroom, had to have it as the background. Nice.
