Highlights and "Low Lights" of the Day

Highlight - The DD woke up easily and were mostly cooperative with our morning routine. Marc took the kiddos to school, brought me home a bagel with a Diet Coke :) and we had a nice calm few minutes before he left for work. That is always a highlight!

Low light - Being called by Ethan's teacher to be notified that he had fallen flat on his face and busted his lip open at school. She informed me that he never threw his hands out to save himself. That is due to his poor startle reflex. You can read more about why he has that problem here. The teacher said that he had less chance to catch himself though as he was holding his lunchbox when he tripped and fell. His poor lip looks awful. She did comment though about what a tough little guy he is; that he had hardly cried. I filled her in that being that tough at three is not a good thing. It just means that he has had way too much experience with pain.

Highlight - Going over to see my mom today and getting her out of the house a bit (we went to lunch). Mom is already going stir crazy. She does not do "house bound" well. She needs to though, as she is in a lot of pain and has to stay on the pain meds for now. We had a lovely time and I had to keep my sense of humor in check because every time she would laugh she would groan in pain.

Highlight - Picking up the DD after school. First I get Katie and then we shoot across town to get Ethan. Both of them always run into my arms and make my day with their happy greetings! They are also happy to see each other. I informed Katie on our way over to get Ethan about his fat lip so that she would not get upset when she saw it. She took one look at him and said "you are gonna be OK little buddy" and hugged him.

Low light - "Little buddy" has a bug working on him; probably caught it from sis. He is uber whiny. He has always been a big crier here at home to try to get his way but we are on a "fishman" like crying jag. Patience is the word of the day here ;-) He is also causing lots of fights with sis over toys as well.

Low light - I am pretty sure that I lost my camera. I have turned the house inside out looking for it. Thankfully, all of my photos were already downloaded into my computer. The last time that I remember seeing it was at our FCC luncheon at a local Chinese Restaurant and they say no one has turned it in. As everyone knows, I am in the Real Estate Business so buying a new camera was not on my short list....eating is....ROFL!

Highlight - The long weekend is here and we have lots of activities planned including a labor day BBQ here at the house; should be lots of fun. I will also be on the lookout for a good labor day sale on cameras so if you hear of any great deals let me know!
