Random

Time for a random post, just for catching up sake. I am too lazy to document all of our craziness in long drawn out ways, so how about some tidbits of what has happened in the last few weeks. PS, I think it has been a month since Benson's surgery. We survived! Yay! Although the sweet medical bills are starting to show up in the mail, so I guess when those are paid off, we will see if we will actually survive or not!

Random #1. The one who changes the most around here is Leo. Each day, he learns a new trick. He is the happiest baby on the planet. And drinks real milk now! Yay for no more formula.


And he eats lots of real people food!
Random #2. Sadly for us, we discovered last month that Leo can't eat all real people food. Like peanuts for example.
That is one rashy baby. I let him eat some bread that had touched peanut butter, and we got hives a few hours later. Yuck. I had to google them to make sure that is even what they were. We are pretty inexperienced in visiting the Dr. or having medical issues, until now. We had him allergy-tested and it turns out he is allergic to peanuts, egg whites and oats. Not the best news, but we are optimistic that the egg white and oat allergy will go away. But no reeces for Leo, which is pretty sad, because in my opinion nothing beats a peanut butter treat.

Random #3. After dealing with broken glasses for way too long, I finally bit the bullet and got new glasses. Benson took a picture of them for you. Too bad I had just gotten out of bed in this picture. Don't I look awesome? For the record, I look and sound like a man when I wake up. Isn't Keith lucky?
Random #4. The weather has certainly been changing too. I was so terrified during our week-long stay at the hospital that I was going to miss Autumn. Luckily, it is still here and glorious! I love this time of year, mostly for the change in wardrobe! That means wearing hats and looking extremely adorable all the time.
Random #5. We took a late trip up to Bridal Veil Falls and nearly froze to death. And spilled a 64 oz drink of soda in my car on the way there. The whole thing. Luckily it was Diet soda. And there is a reason there aren't many picture of my older kids in this post-probably because they are really cooperative for taking pictures. Not.
Random #6. We have discovered that Leo is a wild man and loves the swings. He kicks and kicks and giggles and giggles and waves and claps the whole time. Cutest.Thing.Ever. P.S. I swear I like my other kids, but this Leo is just so much fun!
Random #7. Friday Fun Days! This is my favorite time of the week. Since my lil sis Mari lives close by now, we get together every Friday for Friday Fun Day! In the summer we went swimming or sat by a lake or played outside for FFD. Now, we generally shop and shop and then go to a Playplace and then shop some more. We ALWAYS go to Target and then we choose some other fun places to visit. Because, how can something be fun if Target isn't involved!? Recently we spend the entire day trying on boots and dreaming what it would be like to own 400 pairs of sweet boots.
Random #8. And Mari is so patient with me and my munchkin boys, who don't love shopping so much, but love taking pictures with my phone and playing Angry Birds all day. Don't worry, we let them get popcorn and Icees at Target, and sometimes we even spend time at the Toy store.

I LOVE having my sis live so close and I LOVE how helpful she is. Without her, I couldn't spend an entire day shopping. I so look forward to our Friday playdates and most of the time it is the highlight of the week. If only every day were Friday!
Random #9. Another random bit of information- I think I am going to make my blog private. Eventually. I don't want to, but think it may be time (or Keith thinks so). If you like to check in on us Crazies, leave me your email so I can invite you.
