I have not had a chance to post regularly lately and I think that will not change anytime soon. We are very busy between kids and work. Darby is in track and Carter is sort of an honorary member going to the practices and participating as much as they will allow. They are also both in the school play, which I am crafting some costumes for. Darby is still playing indoor soccer, for which I am helping coach and Carter and Chris are very busy with scouts (we have an exciting camping trip to Yosemite coing up for that). Jaden got two caps on some "defective" teeth and her and Jack have both been battling allergies. No rest for the weary here...
When things get busy I have a tendency to forget stuff and do some crazy-ish things. So here is one from yesterday... I went to the grocery store to get stuff for the week. As usual, I was in a rush. I had a few things in my cart and stopped to get some pork chops. I found what I needed, plopped it into the cart and sped off. Two aisles later, I went to put my popcorn in the cart and was shocked to see two bottles of wine that I had NOT selected. Then, I realized that the only thing that I had actually selected that was in the cart was my pork chops! Yikes! So, I headed back over to the meat aisle and transferred my pork chops over to my actual cart and left some poor person's cart there. I am sure someone else now feels like they are losing their mind! Good grief!
Anyway, Jack is almost finished with his antibiotics. They definitely helped as his nose is not oozing green anymore. We do notice that if we miss the Claritin for one day, he is miserable and I think has a sore throat. So, I am looking forward to that passing. His hearing seems to be better, but he is preferring to wear his BAHA right now saying he can hear better with it. I am fairly sure it is because of fluid, but if his hearing doesn't improve in the next few weeks, I will probably see if Dr. Roberson can see him.
Some other humorous miscellany:
This week, Jack was wearing some headphones. He has always liked to wear these and usually wears them on his cheek bones, which I assume he hears conductively. I had never thought about headphones since his surgery. So, I went over to him and pulled them up on to his hear and he instantly began SCREAMING. They have a child-proof loudness setting, but it was obviously too loud for him and was a bit of a shock! I felt awful. So, I showed him the volume button, and helped him turn it down. He was very happy after that...
Yesterday, we were coloring our Easter eggs, which was great fun for all. The only scary thing is how many eggs we have to eat when we have 4 kids wanting to color eggs. Carter took a look at Jack's work and said, "I know why he is putting so many stickers on his eggs, it's to hold them together!" Needless to say, Jack was a little rough on the eggs! Here is a sample:
Nonetheless, fun was had by all hunting eggs.
Lastly, only people that moved to California from Colorado would actually swim in an outdoor swimming pool in March. But, yes, 5/6 of our family was in the pool today, on Easter Sunday. Yes, on purpose. And no, I did not partake. Crazy!
