Sudafed?

Just wanted to share a quick funny story with you all. Last night my dear husband started to feel sick and had a very bad headache. I figured he must be getting a head cold and told him to take a sudafed. At about this time Little E got a poopy diaper and I asked him to come help me get her into the tub because we have really been fighting some diaper rash. So he hurried to find the sudifed, took it, and came to help me get her to bed.

About twenty minutes later he came out and collapsed on the couch. I figured he was finally getting hit by the sudafed and would feel better in about an hour. I went downstairs to make a phone call and work on some things for my business (leg warmers and wraps).

Finally I heard some bumpings upstairs and came up to find him and see if he wanted to watch an episode of something. He wasn't on the couch, he was in bed now... out like a light. I woke him up and asked if he just wanted to sleep through the night because if not he needed to get up for awhile or he would be up really late. He just kind of grunted at me and I left him to sleep in peice.

I ended up awake until 12:30 freezing strawberries that were all about to go bad (they had been on a great sale an I ran out of time the day before).

Finally I got into bed to find him still asleep, wearing his clothes. I made him change into pjs and then we both went to bed.

He just called me from the car on the way to work. He said while he felt great he thinks he knows what happened. Instead of taking sudafed like I had told him he mistakenly took Sleep Aid. :)
But since he feels better maybe sleep really is the best medicine?

Lesson of the day: Maybe husbands, like children, need supervision when they medicate themselves. Lol

Buisy as... Hornets?

Well, we certainly have been busy little bees, or maybe I should say hornets. That would be more fitting I think. Our little family got to spend the last week of summer break up with our family in Kennewick Wa. It was so much fun to hang out with my husbands sisters and all of Little E's cousins. We even got to tear down a hornet infested swing set while we were there. How can you beat that? First we had to burn it from the inside out using (to my pyromaniac of a husbands delight) lighter fluid. He got to climb on top of the monkey bars and spray the fluid into the center of the logs, then moments later have columns of flames spewing from the tops of all four surrounding logs. He had a total blast!

Yes, that is my sister in law with an ax. And yes, she is "Freakishly Strong" just ask her husband.

Little E had a great time trying to hang out with all the "big" kids and learning all kinds of things from her little cousin who is only a month older than her. They taught each other all kinds of neat things. Little E taught her cousin how to sign baby (they lay on the floor looking at each other signing baby over and over again as fast as they could. Thats why they were laying on the floor, they signed it so excitedly they fell over).
Then her cousin taught her to say cracker or "Kwahkah" and to sign both please and thank you. (Way to teach politeness little cuz!)

We also got to go to the park by the river with her older cousins. They are all growing up so fast. Don't beleive me? Here's some proof!


That's right! Those guns are lethal you better beleive it!


We all had a great time, Little E really enjoyed terorizing a nearby puppy. He couldn't stop and rest for more than 10 seconds without her trying to give him all kinds of loves. It was pretty cute.

We really had fun up in Kennewick and can't wait to go visit at Thanksgiving. Three day's is just not enough time to spend with such a fun family!


Since My loving husband has gone back to work he has really enjoyed putting Little E to bed. I really enjoy being surprised by some other funny thing he has done during the bedtime routine. The other night I came in to kiss her goodnight to find he had don't her hair in a different manner than usual...

Well, that prooves it! She really is a little rascal! :)

Well, I have to go. The rascal has woken up from her nap and she sounds kinda cranky. I have a couple of videos to post later tonight, so done forget to come back and check them out. They include her first ever cookie dough! How cool is that? :) She is mama's little girl.
