Just add Cement....and Injuries!

So let me just say I love Fridays with Brandon!  They are awesome and they really mean a lot to me, we get to do all of the things that we need to do and never have time for.  Like getting new shoes.  I have not had new shoes in a few years and Brandon well he abuses his.  I want to start running so I wanted good shoes and so did he.  We went to Track Shak in Trussville and they were great!  I also want to say that I LOVE my new Brooks!  WOW!  I had no idea how bad my shoes felt until I felt the way that shoes should feel. 
We headed home and were going to get to work in the office and den when the school called.  Danny had hurt his wrist and it was swollen.  We headed to check him out and went on and got John Michael.  It ended up being a sprain, which is definitely something that we can all live with. 
We all headed up to the house to see if we had a foundation.  Guess what we did!  They were still working, but it was awesome to see our porches and our garage floor and the foundation for the house!  Now it will cure all weekend but I do not care, I am so glad that there is something happening there I do not know what to do.

After that we headed to the ballpark for family night.  Games were all canceled, which sucks.  I personally like the ballpark being active with games.  All the other stuff can go on too, but I like games!  In fact that is what we signed up for.  Anyway we were there for all of about ten minutes when Danny and another kid were throwing.  They decided to start pitching, well the other kid was pitching Danny was catching.  They were too close he threw a fast ball, which Danny is not used to anyway.  Also Danny was not in his gear.  Anyway, the ball centered Danny in his eye.  We ended up at the hospital and then home waking him up every couple of hours.  Poor guy is all I can say.  He is such a trooper and I know that it hurt. 

Crafts and a Sick Baby

So today was craft day with John Michael's class. We made some really cute little tote bags for Easter. They are going to use them Wednesday for their Easter Egg Hunt. It is always so much fun when I am able to spend a little time with my boys in their classes. It is nice to see what they do and be a small part of it. I hope that they will carry these memories with them forever. I see parents who drop their kids off and they never seem to be much more involved than that and it breaks my heart for the child. We will never get these days back so I plan to be a part for as long as I can.

Danny ended up coming home early, they called while I was in class with John Michael and it never rang. I think being basically in a church basement has something to do with that. Fortunately they called Brandon and he went and got him. He is okay, not contagious anyway. His allergies are acting up and all of the drainage is triggering his asthma. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day and he will be able to stay at school. I will write a note letting his teacher know that he needs to take it easy at Recess and PE.

Well, tomorrow is the First Communion suit and shoes extravaganza. We shall see how it all goes. Fingers crossed and prayers have been said!

Well, I am off to bed tonight. It is still not before 9, but I am making some headway on editing and on the teacher's gifts so it is all good. Oh yeah, I got the extra 2 weeks off from class! YAY! I will say a prayer for all of my family an friends. I hope that all of your spoken and unspoken requests are soon prayers of thanksgiving!
