My Brave Little Toaster

Gavin is the bravest little boy I know. And I'm not biased or anything.

We were at a friend's house for "science time." Once a week, when Gavin doesn't have school, we do science with a friend that does a home school program. Her daughter, Lydia, is Gavin's best friend. Ok, maybe a little more than best friend- they already have their future planned out. Haha! After the lesson, they were playing around and Gavin's hand was accidentally shut in the door. I felt horrible for Gavin, but equally as bad for Lydia. She was heart-broken that she hurt her beau.

After much debate of lugging both kids to the urgent care, I decided to take him. He ended up with a slight fracture and his nail ripped off. He braved through X-rays, stitches, and bandaging which is a huge task for a 5 year old. I was proud to say the least! I have amazing kids!

I also discovered that I have an extremely weak stomach. I already knew I wasn't good with blood, but just bandaging the nail made me want to pass out. I'm praying that this is the worst I will ever have to deal with, but with boys...you never know.

Jones Creek Apple Orchard

Last weekend we took the boys apple picking. We had so much fun eating and picking apples. It was "all you could eat, all you could pick", and we only paid $1.20/ lb. It was the perfect "fall" outing... (and cheap!)

Go Mariners!

The other weekend, our great friends offered us two Mariner tickets. It was last minute, so we weren't able to get a sitter in time. We were going to attempt to pack up the whole family, but it was a 7 o'clock game, and I didn't feel like wrestling with Lincoln for two hours in the stands. So Joe and Gavin had a "daddy date." Of course, we couldn't send the Gavin without the proper attire. :)


Gavin loves going to games, mostly for the cotton candy- notice the blue lips. Haha! Needless to say, they had a great time. And I enjoyed a quiet evening watching a chick flick and making popcorn.
