Chocolate Chip Cookies

Calvin and Landry went to Oklahoma this past weekend, so it was just Brody and me at home. I decided to tackle making cookies with Brody's help. It was fun, quick-paced and well....messy! He threw a terrible fit when I took away the measuring spoon with the baking powder in it. I was trying to get him to tap it on the side of the bowl and instead he jerked it toward his mouth. Of course it went all over the front of him and everything else. He still managed to get it in his mouth - yuck.

Ear Fat Myringoplasty

Landry just had surgery on her left eardrum to repair a hole in it Thursday of last week. They were unable to remove the tube she had placed in there 2 years ago. The tube had created a hole and had fallen through the drum to her middle ear. The surgery took about 30 minutes and they removed the fat from the back of her earlobe. She has 3 stitches that will be removed tomorrow.

Landry did great, she only whimpered a few times saying that she wanted to go home. Brody was less than impressed with the whole situation. Up at 4:40, no breakfast, only a few sneaks of milk and confined behind a curtain - NOT his ideal day. Calvin had to take him out to the Tahoe, put him in his seat, turned on a movie and he went right to sleep. We were done and on our way home by 9-ish.

Halloween/Fall Pictures

It has been a long time since I have updated this thing!! Thought I would post a few pictures that we took a few days ago. I really feel like it is impossible to get kids to smile when you want them too. They definitely have minds of their own.
