Playing Vet

 

We are back to school full time as of yesterday & I decided to set up one fun activity to do a day with Micah.

 

In the morning I got out his patients, an ear checker, a nose sucker and a thermometer.  The older boys were busy and Micah was interested but spent a lot of time just chasing around the light on the floor from the ear checker.

 

 

I put everthing up and laid him down for nap.  when I got him up, I noticed Eli had gotten everything out again...and more

 

He got band aids (duck dynasty of course) a hair brush, thermometer, q-tips and the ear checker thing.

 

The Q-Tips did make me nervous but I decided to sit down and just watch them play, that way I could intervene if needed

 

This time, he was much more involved, he is checking the ear here (you cant really see the tool)

 

Taking penguins temp

 

It was cute & fun and I was glad to revisit the vet office in play.

 

Funny Joke

Yesterday I went out back to care for my 16 rabbits.  I came back in to the back door and tried to open it.  It was locked "This is odd" I thought.  I went to the front door, the boys were out on the front porch.  It was locked too. "What is going on" I thought.  About this time, I look at Noah and say "Did you lock the door?" confused.  He said "yes, but don't worry I have the key"

 

 

 

And he holds up, the key to the Pearland house.  The wrong key.

 

 

I said "Noah, that is not the right key"

"Yes it is mom, it fits"

"It may fit, but it wont open it" 

 

Well it didn't open, and we sat out side from 2:30 to 7:00 when Wes got home.

 

Luckily I keep a dirty car.  We found a cup and used to hose so the baby had plenty of water & we hosed him down.  Awesome day for Wes to work late.

 

I go inside to my phone and I had 11 missed calls and text messages along the lines of "are you guys still alive?"

Then I go to give the baby a bath and someone had locked MY bedroom door.  I about lost it.  My door was quickly unlocked.

Lesson learned, everyone has a key now.

Here is Noah recapping the whole thing for you

 

......been too gone for too long

Yes we have.  I just recently got internet back and I don't really know where to start catching up on the blog.  I had been pretty regular on my postings.  I will do a quick (somewhat) recap.

 

 

 

I took the kids to a smoothie shop for a smoothie and there was the poster on the wall.  Eli was refusing to drink a shake because he was worried that after drinking it he would look like the man on the poster.  I assured him that he would not, and I had to have the man who made the smoothies reassure him as well. Eli said "they should really take that down, I bet he scares a lot of people who come in here"  lol.

 

Eli turned 6 and I was going to make him a cool cake.  FAIL.  the good thing?  It tasted awesome

 

We took the boys and a friend to pleasure pier, where they had a blast

Blown Away

Sometimes my kids do things that blow me away.  Totally shock me, but in a good way.  Today was one of those days.  I have been overly stressed lately, with a lot of things going on.  They will pass.  And I took the kids to lunch to meet my mom.  There was a water spicket and Eli stuck his hand in it and let the water hit it.  I got on to him and then in line for our food, he was not paying attention and I had to get on to him several times for various things.  When we sat down at the table I said

 

"Eli, I am very disappointed in your behavior, you will get a spanking"

Noah said "I would like to show Eli mercy"

me "what?"

Noah "I would like to show Eli mercy, I will take his spanking"

Me "What?....Okay, come here."

 

So Noah walked over and Eli's eyes were huge like saucers & I spanked Noah (Not hard)

 

I said to Eli "This is like what Jesus did, he took the punishment for something he did not deserve"

 

Eli was in total shock, he hugged me and said he was going to be good for the rest of the day, because he had been shown mercy.

 

This was one of those parenting things, that I could have never arranged in a million years.  It made me so proud of my kiddos.
