Mental Junk

Okay – to explain the previous images of Nate's eye and how he managed to give himself a shiner.

We were at the Mall and the boys were being pretty good, so Michelle thought it would be nice if they got a treat.  On the way out she thought it would be nice if they had a ride on the coin operated rides.  The rides are located on a raised platform in the middle of the mall hallway.

When Mic mentioned it to the boys, they ran for the rides in excitement.  Nate either missed the step, or completely ignored it.  Either way – he tripped over the edge and landed face-first on the platform.  He let out an immediate scream and by the time I got to him his eye had already swelled to the size of a small marble.

Now… to settle a personal argument… the size of the platform…

Picked up Nate and Mic from Sick Kids early Friday evening.

Welcome home!

Was hoping he would be home by now, but it doesn't look like it.

He was getting better – they had him on antibiotics through the IV and he was keeping food down.  Last night, however, he started regressing.  He was taken off the IV yesterday and the antibiotics were given orally, so this seemed like a positive step.  However, last night he threw up his dinner and lost his medicine as well.  Over night he threw up two more times.  They may just put him back on IV to continue treatments.

I mowed the lawns last Thursday – just before we headed out to my Sister's for the weekend.

I haven't had the chance to mow the lawn since, because Nate went into the hospital and I can't leave Cam alone while I can't hear him to mow.  Not a big deal – wait until his nap this weekend and blitz through it.

Got home last night to find a notice on the door that we will be fined for having grass and weeds over 6 inches.  Don't we live across the street from a fallow field that has growth over two feet in height?  Wow.  Way to go.
