The event of the day....

As I was putting supper together this evening. The kids were playing in the living room. I had a thermarest out (that I use as a mat for working out on) and the kids were pretending that it was a boat. They were happily playing until I heard a loud bang followed by Micah's crying. I had a hot cookie sheet in my hand that I quickly put on the stove top and just as I started to walk away I saw Isaiah out of the corner of my eye reaching for the cookie sheet (He was sitting in his Bumbo chair watching me make supper....his new "milestone" is that he grabs EVERYTHING within his reach). I went running back and grabbed Isaiah out of his bumbo chair then went tearing off to see what happened to Micah......
What I saw next is NOT something that a mother wants to see. Micah was laying on the floor under about 3 large shards of glass and blood starting to pool around him. The first words out of my mouth were "Don't Move!!!". I quickly put a screaming Isaiah down on the living room floor and proceeded to dig my child out of the glass while also yelling for B to get me the phone. I carried Micah upstairs and sat him on the counter with his feet in the sink, grabbed a washcloth and started to try to figure out where he was bleeding from the worst. After wiping his arm off I saw blood streaming down his neck so I pressed the cloth to the back of his head and called Jon.
"You need to come home now!" is all I said to him, and his response was "OK" within 1 minute he was running up the stairs (thank God he was working in Okotoks only 3-4 blocks away). We dumped B off at the neighbors and went straight to Urgent Care....pulling a Brittney Spears. Micah sat on my lap all the way there, much to his delight. :)
After the nurse cleaned him up 3 tiny cuts were revealed on his head. Not even stitch worthy. He also has 5-7 cuts on his back and legs. I'm thankful to say he's doing just fine. Playing and fighting with B again as I type. Now I can breath once again....

The piece of glass at the bottom of this picture was one of the two giant glass shards that I had to pick up off Micah to get him out of there.

Life is Busy

Wow. I can't believe that the summer is half over already. Being the heat lover that I am, I find that terribly sad. I'm going to enjoy every day of the warm weather that we have left and try to soak in the sun as much as possible. Maybe then the fall and winter won't be to terrible....oh who'm I kidding....
Our summer days so far have been filled with visiting family, playing at the beach, boating, picnics at the park, drinking real iced tea in the hot sun, stampeding, a surprise birthday party (Jen's 30th), a wedding (Kara and Rob...congrats), and VBS. We still have more family visiting to look forward to, some camping trips, and school to get ready for. THAT'S RIGHT I said SCHOOL. I can't believe I'm going to be one of those mom's that has to get their child ready for school. Brielle is going to start Kindergarten in the fall. The poor kid is going to be taught by me at home though. Along with my niece (I don't think my sister remembers my grades in school growing up, otherwise she probably wouldn't let me teach her child too). The last couple of weeks of August are going to be dedicated to getting ready for school. I am hoping to turn our basement into a classroom of sorts. We'll see if that happens or not, but regardless of whether or not I have a designated room...I'm teaching 2 children come September. I'm a little nervous about this. I have no idea where to start. What am I supposed to teach them every day? Is there a book I do stuff out of, or am I supposed to just make it up as I go along? These are all questions that I'm going to find the answers to in the next month. Yikes. Pray for B and Hayden...HaHaHa.

Mmm....Food

After weeks of having a screaming child at EVERY meal. I decided today to give him some food of his own. I know it's a bit early (he's 5 and a bit months old, you're not supposed to start them on solids until 6 months). However, I'm tired of trying to settle him while my food gets cold. So, while I was at the grocery store this afternoon I picked up a couple boxes of rice cereal. I have just finished giving him his first large tbsp of cereal. He loved it!!!!! I couldn't shovel it in his mouth fast enough. I actually had to pin his arms down while I brought the spoon to his mouth because he kept grabbing the spoon frantically, thinking I wasn't doing it quick enough.
I'm hoping this will stop the meal time fits.......we'll find out tonight. :)

????Anyone out there????

I was just wondering if I'm completely wasting my time, or if people are actually reading what I write on here. I don't really want to keep writing things on here if I'm the only one coming to this site. I know my thoughts, I don't need to write them and read them too. I know I don't write/post all that often but I'm just wondering if I should be stopping all together?
Any comments??????
Anyone???
Hello???
Oh...and who is anon e mouse? I have been wondering that for awhile now. You seem to know me, I'd like to know you too. :)

Funny Funny Stuff...

This was e-mailed to me (along with some other funny "kid" things). I thought this one was just too good. Kids can do/say some pretty funny things sometimes.

A little boy opened the big family Bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages.
'Mama, look what I found,' the boy called out.
'What have you got there, dear?'
With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered, 'I think it's Adam's underwear!'
