Attack of the Frozen Soup

Elijah was making room in the freezer for the new groceries. He was pulling out the frozen soup that was in one of those gallon size ice cream containers. As he swung the frozen soup out of the freezer he made contact with GiddyBugs little head. He feels terrible.

He looks like he is on some pretty heavy duty pain killers.

 

Mom practices her favorite sport, butterfly stitching.

 Gideon got to eat a fruitcicle during the surgery.

All better. Thanks mom!

Bathtime

I'm not sure why Gideon's arm is at such an odd angle...  Abbey has spaghetti or jello or something on her face.  They all enjoy bubble baths.

Tonsillolith

Joe had some sort of bothersome lump in his throat after dinner.  I got a flashlight and took a peek.

Oh My!  It looked like a white thorn poking out into his throat.  A little research on good old internet and we have.... Tonsilloliths!

Josiah's sort of went away after some deep poking in the way back of his throat with the end of a spoon, plus a little gaggin and one real good cough.  Once it was out we watched some really disgusting youtube videos on them.  If you had been in our living room you would have heard, "Nasty" "Disgusting" "EEEWWW" coming from a bunch of little boy voices.

So now Josiah feels like puking after watching what was in his throat.

The videos were amazing.  I wish it were my JOB to remove tonsilloliths.

GiddyBug: "Remember when it was raining gravy and it squished out all over the road?"

Dad: "Uh, no."

Sayings XXXII

Titus was in my bed the other night and Matt wrote down our conversation.



Mom: "Titus, have you met your cousin Annie?"

Titus: "Yes, it was by the elevator, in a big flat spot, when I was being born. And there was a big circle place and we were squished and Annie went out the door and it opened up and she fell out and she tripped. It was a food place. I had a dream that there was a lion, and a bear and a cheetah and they were tied up together, not an elephant, because they are cute...don't you wish we had a zoo right beside us...we could chase down the snakes.

Mom: "A zoo would have too much poo!"

Titus: "Mom, you talk allot. the animals would stay in their cage and be nice. they could kind of talk. they could growl. I would let you pet them. When I want to grow up I want to be a GRARRGGGGH! No, I want to be a water truck."

Mom: "OK, I'm ready to go nite-nite"

Titus: "Wait! One more thing. Actually I want to grow up to be an elephant."

Mom: "Titus, the dentist told you not to suck your..."

Titus: "Oops! I closed my lips around my thumb. Remember when the tractor did go on the ice and he had a big brush behind him. the tractor was ice skating"

You can see the fort progress in the background.

Sayings XXXI

It is very dry in Wyoming and we frequently have to apply chapstick or vasoline to our lips.  Gideon and Josiah have had chapped lips lately and I told them to put something on them.  Gideon came running out with the jar of ointment and said proudly, "I found the gasoline!"

My sister gave us a humidifier this weekend.  We'll see if that helps.
