It Wasn't the ER Exactly.....

So I will keep the poll on the right open!

Mr. Trouble ran head first into the island in our kitchen. The bottom corner of the counter plunged into the middle of his forehead. 

Puncture Wound....

Big and gross.

Off to the Children's Hospital Urgent Care. I may go there next time I need urgent care! It is the same place I took Miss H when she had Hand, Foot, and Mouth and needed IV fluids. It is bright and cheerful with TONS of cool toys and games, DVD in each room with 100 movie choices (We picked Madagascar this time), stickers, freeze pops, and stuffed animals.

Ev was HYSTERICAL when they checked the boo boo, when they put the numbing gel on, when they tied him in a straight jacket, and when they held him down to clean it.

Verdict was, no stitches needed. He will have a scar either way. This kid is going to look like an NHL player by the time he is 5!

Hippity Hoppity

AHHHHH Easter was an insanity, fun, and candy filled extravaganza.  
Chocolate at 7 AM? 
Why not? 
When else do we eat jelly beans for breakfast except for Easter morning!

 
It started on Saturday with the egg dying, it went better than expected and no one spilled dye on themselves, which is a victory in my book!









A little brother/sister time after the egg dying! Love it!

 Ev was up bright and early at 5:15, say what? Yes, 5 :15 and he ran right in to wake up H. We all tried to go back to sleep, but no one got very far. They knew what was waiting for them downstairs!



 "A chocolate bunny! Just what I always wished for!"



Everyone loves Holden's new sunglasses!



  


And our favorite little monster was in a very lovey mood for our evening Easter dinner!

bad, bad, bad

I feel so guilty for slacking over here. I do love this blog and sharing our funny life with everyone, but man alive, I am into all these projects, gardening, building, and blogging over at Too Much Time.

Just need to share a few things....

1. Tonight after dinner the kids were playing outside while we sat at the table talking and watching them through the open door. All of a sudden Ian screamed super loud and bolted out the door. I turned around and our little baby tree which we planted last year was bent in half. I think Ev was swinging on it. He gave the kids a stern lecture about how we need to treat the baby tree gently, just like a real baby and then get this....

He made them apologize to the tree

Well, it is Earth Day!

Ok, stop giggling, he really did. He really made them say "sorry, tree." I burst into laughter, just waiting for the next step...make them hug the tree, but he didn't go there.

2. Everett may in fact be the devil.
I am convinced he has been put here on Earth to be my sole embarrassment and insanity. 



He is still my favorite little guy in the whole world, BUT he has hit the "terrible two's" with a vengeance. He is working it like he wants to go down in history as the terriblest two in the history of the universe. 

 (like the bruises? Don't even ask)

He is a maniac who, when unleashed (like say from the car, front door, a shopping cart, a classroom) bursts forth like a wild animal who has been held captive for 3 years.


When I say, I can't take him anywhere....I mean 
I CAN NOT TAKE HIM ANYWHERE

He yells, screams, runs, pushes, and does not listen to a word I say

not a word

Am I failing? Everyone I cry to assures me he is just a 2 year old boy. Ian's mom was asked to not return to the grocery store after Ian knocked over a display of glass bottles and Severin tore down an entire spaghetti sauce aisle...on the same visit! Ok Ok Ok we haven't had to deal with anything quite that crazy yet, so maybe we are ok over here. 


(a BRIEF moment of relaxation with a bowl of Cheerios and Super Why)


Holden is of no help.


(She is feeding him paper mache paste!)


Ian doesn't seem too concerned either....



A phase, right? Please assure me it is a phase. I know Holden gave me a run for my money and I definitely blocked out the worst of it, but I REALLY don't think she was like this.

However, and lucky for Everett, he is still such a sweet cuddly snuggler. He gives me fierce hugs and millions of kisses every day. He is talking up a storm and cracking me up with it. Today he was hugging Holden and telling her, "You are MY chick!" She just let him and it was so sweet.

Oh, I love that kid, but wow, he is a handful!
