At a loss

Lately here we have been loosing alot of things..... Dale lost 2 teeth last Thursday with the dentists help, has recovered well, and is no worse for the wear. Reid lost 4 today again with help and is really sore as one was really in there and some gum tissue was torn up getting at it. But I am sure, he too will recover and be no worse for the wear. Macy next week, will loose her tonsils, with help, and hopefully this will end the never ending streak of strep she keeps getting.

Last weekend however we did not LOOSE but won.... Reid scored 2 touchdowns in his first ever tackle football game, and had some really good tackles too, Dale also had some awesome tackles, recovered an onside kick, and even went in as a receiver.....it was a great day of football, a long day but great none the less.

Macy has left me for a loss more than once this week. I am not sure if she is feeling out boundaries or quite what is up but she has been pushing the envelope with what is ok and what is not. She told a story at school and said as a punishment option I give them a choice of being pushed down the stairs. I can assure you this has NEVER happened, and would never happen. Thankfully I have a good reputation with her teacher, Macy has a history of embellishing and talking just to hear her voice and she knew this when it was said, she prodded for more info and Macy said she was just joking but this is NOT a joking matter as some kids are not treated right, something she is clueless about but hopefully her loss of play date, extra chores and some time in her room has cleared up my stance on that issue. She messed with a friends art project at school and messed it up which is disrespectful to that friend and was punished at school and I covered that at home too and she lost another privilege. However, today I was tending to Reid since he had 4 teeth out and full sedation and there were numerous directions to follow and we were all watching a movie....so was she..... and I even gave her a few cookies and ice cream to eat during it.....well later I walk into the kitchen and happen to notice my medicine out next to the open cookies ....and a bunch are punched out....5 out of 31 pills to be exact. I calmly say Macy did you punch these out? no answer.....Macy this is important do you know where they are now. Thats easy Momma...right here and leads me to the carpet and I find 4 of the 5 pills . I asked about the 5th....and she insists she did not take it....it is in the carpet too, sigh of relief. I sent her to her room and we had a LONG talk and she lost her chair to the trash, ( that honestly was on its way anyway) all play dates and computer until further notice, and she got spanked too. This whole messing with touching things that are not yours, telling stories that are untrue.....ends now, I am not at a loss about that! But I do have to admit that it scares me she did it, the pills were in the box, out of her reach, she is fully aware medicine is not a toy and only handled by mom or dad. She is very intelligent and knows right from wrong....but here lately I am not sure what is going on with her little mind. Here is saying a little prayer that Duke is fixed and so is a pregnancy from tampered birth control. geeeeez

Easter and Macys bday


Happy Easter...we had a wonderful Easter and our church did a helicopter egg drop of 20,000 eggs. It was really cool...here is a link to pics and a video. Egg drop video Egg Video The kids had a wonderful time too. And I was so impressed by Dale he went and shared some of his eggs with a few little kids who did not get too many themselves....made me smile.

We did a little egg hunt at the house and last monday I spent HOURS blowing all the leaves out of their play area out back and then ALL the pollen decided to fall so it is all green out there and was for the hunt .....yuck makes me wish I had a trees less yard this time of year.

We celebrated Macys 5th Bday at Sharkeys. Where she and her little friends had their hair done, makeup, dressed up, nails painted and played games. It was a great party and she LOVED it. She also loved her outfit so much that she wore it the next day to church too!




All in all a great couple of weeks... pretty quick and draining but good none the less.
