June 2013

Carson turned 6!  We had a family dinner on his birthday.  He requested brinner (breakfast for dinner).  I made a bunch of yummy things.  Buttermilk pancakes, eggs, sausage, bacon, french toast bake, and fruit.  There was lots of whipped cream and chocolate chips involved too.

Then he had a Nerf party with friends that Saturday.  Unfortunately, most of his church friends were out of town and all of his school friends never RSVP'ed or showed up.  School got out a month before his birthday so I think they probably just forgot.  Luckily, his cousins were in town and a few friends were able to make it.  Plus, his dad and Uncle HL were very much into the Nerf war as well. 

Sweet Set Up

I got all the kids safety glasses...just in case.  Then we had snacks and cupcakes (the theme being orange).  They did a few target practice games but it was pretty much Nerf war.  It was a lot of fun.

Also in June - all 4 of us got a gross stomach bug.  There was more vomit in this house than...well, there was a lot.  Luckily, we all got it staggered over a few days.  Me first, then Chloe a few days later, then Karl and Carson the day after that.  Carson's was the worst.  He had a meatball sub for dinner...and it started while he was asleep in bed.  I won't subject you to anymore than that.  You are probably already gagging.  This whole joyous thing set our family back a week.

 

And another fun health problem...Chloe dislocated her elbow...AGAIN!  This girl.  It was her left again.  Karl was trying to guide her out of a room and she went limp in protest.  Her elbow popped right out.  She did the same thing as last time, just kind of whimpering and holding her arm.  She wouldn't use it.  So we just took her in right away and they popped it back in.  The likelihood of it happening again goes up once it happens a first time.  So there you go.
