Finally able to Breathe

About a two months ago, we noticed coleman's breathing at night getting really bad...scary bad. His ribs were retracting so bad, it looked like his ribs were going to snap in half going the opposite they are supposed to.

I took him to an allergy/asthma specialist and he said he needed his tonsils and adnoids out. He has been breathing through a hole smaller than that of a coffee stir stick since he was born (says the dr.). So we took him to an ENT doctor and scheduled the surgery. I wasn't nervous until we acutally had the date. I was really nervous about him getting dehydrated because he just wouldn't want anything. Well, he had his surgery last thursday and he was a champ!

We gave him tylenol that night at home and he hasn't had any pain killer since. Then next morning he asked for waffles...so we made some and he ate them. He is just acting like nothing has happened. It has been wonderful seeing as how I woke up the next day so sick. So, brad stayed home to take care of kids so i could rest.

anyway, we are so proud of coleman and how brave he was. I think mom and dad were more nervous about it then him. He can actually breathe through his nose at night now and i get worried because i can't hear him breathing...such a big change, but a good one!

Super Craft Time

Today is 4-21-08 not the sixteenth...I don't know why blogger is posting it as such. Anyone else having problems???

So, we usually try to do craft time every once in a while...it used to be daily, but since the new baby that doesn't happen. Anyway, I had ordere some things from toysrus and still had this box in my room. I was straightening up our room and dalton was sitting in the box playing with it. I asked him to get out so i could throw it away. Then I realized how much fun I had with boxes when i was little, so i kept it and told him he could make a car out of it for craft time today...he was soooooooooo excited, but informed me he wanted an airplane, not a car. So i made the box into an airplane and then spraypainted it black and silver. Then let the boys go at it with paintbrushes and paint. It is pretty funny. I don't have a picture of the latest version...Dalton wanted spider webs on it to be spiderman, but I obviosly couldn't do that one. Then he came in with it and there was masking tape all over the thing- his version of WEBS!!! :)

It was very fun for them and they ask to eat in it for every meal and want to sleep in it, but that's a no go!

Blogging Time Out

Well, we are having major computer issues. Shutting off randomly, virus', not saving things, etc. So we will be backing up files, stripping computer down to nothing and starting all over again. So, please be paitient and when it's back up and running I will be blogging again. Soon, i hope. Please continue to comment and visit. I am hoping no longer than a week. Wish us luck!

My Super Heroes

Well, my boys are so into Super Heroes right now and the funny thing is, they have never really watched any super hero movies or cartoons. Right now, they are Batman, again, they have never seen Batman, not even commercials because we only get two channels. The only cartoons he sees is pbs kids or kued. So, anyway, they asked mom to make them capes...and here they are, even with non-sewing skills.
So, anyway, they have been super hero-ing it since wednesday and it's quite entertaining. I am glad my kids appreciate me for little things like this. Even though i can't sew, we just cut and tie fabric, dalton still thinks i am the craftiest mom ever. He always tells me, "Mom, you are a great maker!" It is very cute and makes me smile. Kids appreciate such simple things!!! If i would have known these would be such a hit, i would have done them for christmas and they would have been happy. So little time and money. I just couldn't believe what a hit these were!
