veterans day 2013

Science Center fun. Shannon and I got a sweet deal on season passes so we have SEVERAL trips planned out already for the Science Center. Today we got to take the kiddos to the Imaginate exhibit. SO AWESOME! My camera was having some issues that I cursed and blamed Jon for for several hours of photo taking, and trying to figure it out (He used the camera last…).

Turns out the camera issues were NOT his fault. Sorry babe. And also thanks for spending an hourish figuring out and fixing the issue. So today's photo are kinda crappy, and also WAY out of order, but I am far too lazy to go  fix the order. Enjoy anyway.

Regan did bot last an hour in the Planetarium. So he and I ducked outside and had some water fun while everyone else finished up.

Favorite thing in the Imaginate Exhibit was this wind tunnel. We had to pry most of the kiddos away to other things.

Regan saw some boys making swords, and demanded that he make one too. It didn't fly so well, but he was thrilled with it.

Kaylee's "Silly Hat" flew beautifully.

Such fun! I loved not feeling like we had to see and do everything in this trip, and the kiddos were okay with leaving because they know we are going back. LOTS. Good times people. Good times.

Paper cuts and Eyeballs

I got a phone call from Kaylee's teacher this afternoon. During School…. My heart started racing, and my palms got all sweaty. When She told me the problem I laughed (I am sure she was NOT expecting laughter…). An exasperated/relived laugh. And then I panicked some more with worse case scenario's (blood, mayhem) and bolted from the house to get her. By bolted I mean I yelled at Regan to use the potty while I filled a syringe with a dose of ibuprofen. We have NEVER left the house so quickly.

Me: Kaylee's hurt. Go pee in the potty super fast so we can go get her! (Did not want/need to worry about Regan's bladder springing a leak at an unfortunate time.)

R: Oh, no! My Kaylee's all ouchy! (Kid has never moved so fast!)

She was pretty darn miserable by the time I got to the school.  I informed the receptionist of my reason for being. I volunteer every Tues. So she was surprised to see me on a Wed at an odd time.

Me: So um, My kid gave her eyeball a paper cut…..

R: Oh, that's was your child! (Bewildered I am sure, that ANYONE could give their eyeball a paper cut.)

Me: Um, yah. She sadly takes after me TOO well. (Hang my head in shame for passing on the EPIC klutz gene. Hurry through the door after getting buzzed in.)

Her adorable classmates were all very concerned and sad about her injury.  They are so sweet.

Her injured eye leaked for a couple hours. She said she didn't need a doctor, and that it was starting to feel better. She did not care for my eye exam I gave her trying to asses the damage.

 

IMG_5291When asked what she would like to do, "I just want you to read to me the new book." The new book being Princess Academy by Shannon Hale.

 

IMG_5285We were all thrilled when the drugs kicked in and the pain went away.  She is now laughing and playing with Regan like nothing happened. (Thank Heaven!)

She decided that her pirate patch was in order to protect her eye. And dubbed herself "The fairy pirate princess."

I love that they play together. Also please notice that Regan found his "missing" utility belt. The day after Halloween he happily announced, "Mom, look! I found my belt. It was in the crib under a blankie." 

Now that I no longer babysit Emilio the poor crib sits empty, that is until Regan decides it's a great hidy hole for his things…. kids.
