Ode to Lucy

My last post was about Grey so of course I have to make sure everything is even and do one about Lucy. First pic is a roller coaster at Sea World that Lucy wanted to go on. I have never been so scared in my life. I was shaking-and I wasn't even on the damn thing. Adam got that honor and he also was shaking! But Lucy loved it!

Okay this was more my speed, the kiddie roller coaster. Yep I screamed. Yep Lucy was embarrassed. I have learned that she will be of me from here on out. I am no longer cool or funny-I am MOM.

Lucy at her school carnival with a classmate.

The had pony rides with like 10 people surrounding her. There was no way she was going to fall off.

I think I mentioned before how rough this school year has been on Lucy. So I decided to do anything (within reason) to help her adjust. Lucy really wanted me to bring a cake in for her teacher's bday. It was a HIT! Do you understand what it was? A desk, paper clips, pencil, lined paper.....

I don't know if I mentioned before that Ms Matere is from Kenya!!! I was so excited for my daughter to have a beautiful black teacher with an even more beautiful accent. School is hard, Ms Matere is strict and makes them work, but its AWESOME.

Post About Grey

Grey had a rough week. I took him to the Dr a week ago and was sent to the er immediately then admitted to the hospital for RSV. I knew it had to be bad for two reasons. One that he is NEVER sick and two NOTHING slows him down so when I couldn't get him to wake up after 16 hours I knew something was wrong. It came on his so fast within two days he went from being crazy Grey to this:

(we were sooo close to getting rid of the binkie)

He was dehydrated but after some yummy IV (which if I remember correctly from my pregnancy is so so good) and lots of meds and another 24 hours of sleep he started to perk right up:

(He didn't remember ever having a Popsicle before so he was super excited)

Lucy and I went to Build a Bear to make him something to feel better. The bear was so cute in its hospital gown, thermometer, and tissues. (side note Lucy made herself one also for her straight "E" as in excellent report card and her bear cost twice as much as Grey's-seriously. She wasn't about to be too thoughtful and generous to her brother). He never got over his HATE for all people in the medical field but he is home and better.

(we had to watch the same 3 Thomas the Train DVDs for like 2 days straight aaahhhhh)

So I decided to put more phone pics of Grey. Kind of my ode to Grey:

Grey and Erin "helping" Kristin and me make Adam's bday cake. I finally gave them a huge chunk of cake and let them go at it. They LOVED it!

Awesome Turntable bday cake that Grey could NOT wait for the party to start eating.

At Stone Table park with buddies:Clayton, Erin, and Hayley (Can't tell but all 4 were fighting over that big bag of Pirate Booty)

Grey's fav truck from Christmas. Its just the way he rolls

Grey's fav way to watch TV: with his sister, friends, and lots o candy.

Grey's New (well it was when I took the pic) Hat!

Grey's 2nd New Hat-this one he picked out all by himself.

Pretty much Grey at the dinner table every night. If he wants something he goes after it, even if its on someone's plate.

Best Buddy Clayton

Last but not least Grey found a hole! Hole which he loves. Grey doesn't actually pick just likes to rest his finger there. It has also become a comfort when he is nervous-really.
