randomness - take 2...

well, as i was saying b4 i was so rudely interrupted
~teehee~

i began telling u about how my wedneday night, turned out 2 b an eventful night....well so did last night! so let's just start from the beginning...

wednesday night, everything started out normal....we had gabby's acro class, then christ commandos at church....then home for dinner & homework....jaden had a project 2 complete - a Native American project....he chose to make a teepee, like the Sioux Indians lived in....he drew a buffalo & deer on the "skin" & an arrow, cause that's what they hunt with


after all the kiddos were in bed, i did some mama chores then vegged on the sofa....i fell asleep waiting 4 curtis....1am, my phone rings & it's him - & he's got a flat tire - ugh!

he's already tried calling a few of his buddies & no one is answering (duh)....so i have 2 drag the kiddos out of bed to go get him

they surprisingly rose with little argument....& actually enjoyed the ride - they'd never seen our little town in the middle of the night, so they were in awe at all the dark stores (especially Food Lion - they thought that was really weird!) & the absence of cars....gabby was like "there aren't any cars on the road!" - uh yeah gab, they're all in bed! ~lol~

we were home & had the kiddos back in bed a little after 2am....of course, they instantly fell back 2 sleep - and again surprised me by not being cranky or sluggish in the least, yesterday morn....our little field-trip didn't seem to phase them at all!

-----

speaking of field trips...

curtis got to go along on corinn's field trip to the book fair (love this place!) yesterday....he also chaperoned my nephew, Bryan....the preK program gave each kid $10 to spend on books too!

corinn picked out the very busy spider (which we didn't own yet, but she already knew the whole story by heart) & knut (a book about a polar bear born in captivity - the book has 40 pages & a LOT of text - not really a preK level book...but corinn LOVES animals & had to have it!)

after the book fair, they went to Cici's Pizza for lunch & then on to the mall to see Santa! and apparently, "seeing Santa" is all corinn was interested in doing! she wanted nothing to do with sitting on his lap....i've told u about how we deal with this fear every year - she loves Santa, she just doesn't like costumes or clowns, etc....curtis says that if i had been there, she probably would have given Santa a chance again this year (u know she milks it with daddy) - so we'll see how it goes when all 3 get 2 go see Santa next week

curtis took the camera along & got a few pics....nothing spectacular, but if u knew curtis - u'd know that it's HUGE he took pics at all! ;0)

ok, i lied - this pic is hilarious! bryan is such a nut!


-----

i'd also shared some of these videos with u....i LOVE these! i get sucked in to watching them on youtube every year....i just keep waiting for someone that lives in this area 2 do this, so i can see one in real life!

even college kids r doing it now!

and this one's not christmasy, but it rocks!!!


-----

now, on to last night...

i was up late, working on some baking & making gum paste pieces for a cake that's due on saturday (some stuff takes a couple days to dry)....right after curtis walks in the door from work, there comes jaden down the stairs

he says "i don't think i feel so good"

he goes & pees....and gets a drink of water - but he says he doesn't have 2 throw up

so i put him back 2 bed - with a puke bucket, just in case

curtis & i stayed up for a little while longer....then as soon as we hit the bed, there comes jaden at our door....i walk with him downstairs - puke bucket in hand....luckily, cause he hurled before we made it to the bathroom

this continued on throughout the night - i'd put him 2 bed, then he'd b back up sick....eventually dry heaving because his stomach was empty....the last episode was at 6am

needless 2 say, he didn't go 2 school 2day....gabby cried because corinn got 2 go home early last week cause she was sick, & now this - when does she get 2 stay home from school?! ~lol~ so far, jaden hasn't thrown up any more since that last episode - he hasn't eaten anything yet either, so we'll see how it goes

jaden will chill at home with dad until dad has 2 go 2 work - then dad will drop jaden off with ma....jaden will just chill here at work with me until my appt. at 3 with the surgeon

TGIF - at least if jaden's sick - he'll have the whole weekend 2 recover & can hopefully b back 2 school on monday

-----

oh, and that brings me 2 tomorrow - i get 2 get my hair did!!!
~lol~

boy do i need it too! and curtis will b home, so i can go kiddoless!
can't get much better than that!
:0)

Curtis did a great job on those photos:) I love the one of the two of them together!! Michael LOVES going on field trips with Wesley. Such good Daddy's, huh?

We have several houses in NH that have the musical lights. We go every year even though it's a zoo. People wait in line for ever, but totally worth it!!

I love that Curtis took those pics of their day! She's really growing up if she's not scared of santa any more! Those other pictures on the link were sooo funny! Hope Jaden is feeling better and it doesn't go around the whole family too much!

Hope the upchuckies do not visit our house. It's been going around at Ethan's school. His teacher just came back to school today along with two other students. Trying to avoid that one at all costs! I am puke adversive.

Cute pics! That's nice that Curtis got to go with the kids to the book fair and to see Santa. Did he sit on Santa's lap also? LOL
