Catch Up.

Jenni says Avalon is grounded for life!

Sweet little Avalon had her surgery on Mon to remove the webbing. It took three hours and they said she would need to be on a feeding tube for at least a week. Which she tried to pull out once she woke up.

The next day she thought she had a good enough time in surgery she would go back in for another. She decided to mix things up a bit and collapse a lung for this one. So they put in a chest tube.

Day three she accomplished what she set out to do on Monday and she pulled out her feeding tube. (She's a quick one) Back to surgery she goes so they can put in a direct line to her main artery (I can't remember what it is called. Not a PICC line but.....)

You will get more in depth details when Jenni is not grounded at the hospital and doesn't have so much going on. But I will try my best.

Our wonderful mother who celebrated her birthday last week left the following day to go spend some time with Aaron while the rest of his family hangs out at the hospital.

Which leaves me with the kids and their homework. It has been too long since I did that stuff because I took one look and said, "WTH?" (figure it out)

I made them chore jars. Jett looses a quarter for every time he lies to me. Seems to be working, so far. Or at least he's getting better at lying.

And finally...our dancing queen.

What we see

Enola enjoying doing her homework. (No she is not crying about it. This time)

We catch Jett a lot with his shirt off flexing his muscles for himself in the mirror. Today I founding him lifting in front of the mirror so he could watch his muscles "in action"

Neither of them were aware I took a picture because the phone was is silent mode. This is true life baby!

Smarty Pants

Ladies & Gentlemen meet the Lincoln Academy Student of the Term

(Well one of them at least)

It's a very prestigious title. You must have good grades, attendance, and be recommended by a teacher. We are not sure why she got it either...joke. Apparently she made a funny face when the Principal announced her name because he started laughing at her shocked expression, as well as some other students close by her. The family (the choice ones) knew ahead of time, unfortunately Pops and I had to work and moms car had broken down the day or two before hand. The parents took her out for ice cream that night and I took her out for ice cream the following Sat (I tried to convince her to go out for pie but it was her choice)

Give her a woot woot next time you talk to her. She deserves it.

While the parents were gone

I decided to paint their bathroom.

I figured that if they didn't like it they couldn't stop me and they would just have to deal with it or take the time to repaint themselves.

The color is, "Celery Mist" (it's a light green if you can't tell)

I also bought them a new shower curtain.

(never mind the curtain hooks. haven't replaced those yet)

So come for a visit, you will no longer be blinded by bright lime green paint and an old gross shower curtain!
