The Phantom of the Opera is There.....

I was taking a picture of the new gap in his teeth and the light happened to catch him just right so that he looks like the Phantom of the Opera!

In other news: I had to bribe him with a dollar just to get him to wear a long sleeved shirt today. I don't know what he has against long sleeves!

Andrew picked Green!

So this morning Andrew went in to get his cast! Up 'til now he has just had a splint on. I got to see the metal pins sticking out of his arm. Don't worry...I won't post that picture.

He looks like a mummy in that picture. It's spirit week at school this week. Monday was pajama day and today was Professional Day. He looks very handsome in his tie!

Let me know if you need a hint......

Pictures from the Hospital

Andrew is home from the hospital and it only takes us 5 minutes every day just to put a shirt on! Here are some pics from his stay at the hospital.



The pediatrics ward had a play area for kids.

They also outfitted him with a lojack (which made me think Kojac - I have this weird word association thing going lately - don't know why I thought of a dog from a Stephen King book) and I had to "sign him out" for a walk through the serenity gardens.



If anyone tries to take a child through the doors of the pediatric ward the lojack shuts everything down and alarms go off. We were looking at a picture on the wall as a lady kept trying to leave. The doors refused to open and we finally figured out that Andrew was standing too close. He wasn't out the door so no alarms were going off, but it had locked the doors down.

Of course there appeared to be a glitch in the system the day we were there. Anytime an adult left the alarm went off and they'd have to call security to come turn it off. Talk about crying wolf!

We are glad he is home!

Am I going MAD, or did the word "think" escape your lips? You were not hired for your brains, you hippopotamic land mass.

Went away? "I dwell in darkness without you" and it *went away*?

Yes that is a Twinkie

Sometimes I say things just to be funny and my kids take me completely seriously.

I brought home a box of twinkies from the store and the kids asked me what they were for. I told them they were decorations for the Chrsitmas tree. The next thing I know they are hung (evenly--not all in a clump) on the tree and then guarded zealously.

"Those are not to eat! They are for the Christmas Tree!"

Any suggestions on what I should bring home next?
