Road Rash

Here's the story: Josh and Noah were riding bikes in the driveway. Noah tried to cut too close to Josh's bike, and they wrecked. Josh came out unscathed. Noah.....well.....not so much. See pictures below.







And now a question:
To get his 3-year-old professional pictures taken on Wednesday as planned or not?
I'm open to opinions!

If his face isn't healed, I would reschedule the appt. I notice that my kids bruises and such heal WAY faster than mine do.

I also wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 30 is really not old!! I am telling myself that about 40.

Finally, I was expecting you to say what you did about your diet. I've never done anything as rigid as you, but there was a time when I ate pretty healthy for awhile and then when I had junk food (such as a slice of pizza or a chip or french fry) - it tasted AWFUL to me and felt awful in my stomach. I was soooo much more aware of the "grease" when I had gone without for months. I've never totally gone without sugar though. I imagined it would be the same for you, and I was right. THat is a powerful motivation to stick with the diet! I'm not a big cake person so it would be easy for me to give that up for my bday, but I'd have to have SOME special treat- ice cream, brownie, or something. Hoping there's something you can have and enjoy that won't be too far off your diet. Are you losing weight on this eating plan? You did NOT need to lose weight, but I know I'd lose a lot if I were on such a diet. Just wondered if you were losing weight...

Ruth, I haven't lost any weight so far. The scale says exactly the same. BUT I notice my pants/shorts/skirts fit better around my waist--probably because I'm not bloated anymore. Just what you wanted to hear!! :) But no, I weigh exactly the same as before.

And I plan to blog later today about the beautiful cake my friend Laura made for me! It has all natural ingredients, sweetened with real marshmallow frosting and the kinds of foods I can eat. Wasn't that thoughtful of her? I was speechless when she brought it out yesterday and told me she had made it just for me. :) I am blessed.

Tonight We Babysat Brianne

Image
How's that for a title? Very creative, I know. Let me know if you ever need me to come up with a witticism for you. Totally kidding here! :) Matt and Jen went out on their monthly Date Night, so we got a chance to have Brianne over for the evening. What fun! They don't really play with each other, just near each other. Hopefully that will change. Bathtime! This cracks me up. Brianne dive-bombed a rubber duck! Who knows what Noah is doing. :) So cheesy, this kid! She really, really wanted my camera. So the whole evening went well. Josh helped out, which was unexpected and wonderful. :) After her bath, Brianne was crying (I think she got cold) and I gave her to Josh while I finished up with Noah. Once we got her warmed up, she was fine. She is such a sweetheart, and we look forward to next month when we get her again for an evening. Oh, and we're so looking forward to our own date night to take place later this month! Somehow I think Matt and Jen are get...

365 Project, week 4

Image
A pretty normal week for us again!  We had lots of everyday moments in preparation for an out-of-the-ordinary week to come.  Here's how it looked:   Daddy time in the evening often involves an episode of Bonanza.  Little Joe is a favorite around here! Bath time for Seth.  Maybe it's because he's my second child, but I do not have anywhere near the amount of baby gear I had with Noah.  Baby bathtub? Nowhere in sight.  It's Kitchen Sink City for us!  For this reason, you may not see an actual bath picture, because it takes all my hands to hold on to Seth in the sink.  If I ever have a helper, we may see good future blackmail bath time photos. :) One afternoon Noah and I took his after-school snack to the dock.  Handi-snacks, anyone?  I, for one, love that they still come with the little red stick for spreading, just like when I was his age! Cowboys are his favorite these days.  What're YOU lookin' at...

My Gunniwolf

Image
If you've never read it before, The Gunniwolf by Wilhelmina Harper is a great children's story!  You get fantastic onomatopoeia ( what?!   that means words that sound like the noises they describe), beautiful illustrations, and an object lesson in obedience to boot.  PLUS, the kids I know seem to love it.  Bonus. Noah's school put on a literacy parade today, in which the children could dress up as a character from a favorite book. (If you ask me, it was just a chance to let the kids try out their Halloween costumes early. But still.)  Noah immediately wanted to be the Gunniwolf.  Knowing that any wolf costume I could find in the stores would come with a horrible scary face and be at least $10, we made his out of felt and glue for $3.25 with a much friendlier face. So, I have a little wolf on my hands.  And next Wednesday, our church's Patch the Pirate Club will be hosting a Noah's Ark party, where the kids can come dressed as any animal th...
