A little bit of this and that

This week was CJ's first official field trip. His class went apple picking. Craig and I are so lucky to have jobs that allow us to participate in a lot of the things at CJ's school. We both get to go in and help every Thursday with class and we got to go on the field trip. The kids got to pick apples, watch a how about an apple tree, go through a corn maze, and down a huge slide. CJ is already asking to go back and get pumpkins since this is the same farm that we get our pumpkins from. Kindergartners are a species all on their own. :) Craig and I help with center time when we go in, which means we get to work with small groups. It is so funny to listen to them and hear the problem of the day.....last time it was a girls only slumber party and how boys were NOT invited. Oh to be that young and have life be that simple again.

CJ's birthday is coming up soon. He is going to have a Mad Science birthday party. He is very excited! Apparently this "mad scientist" will come to our house and give a attention getting show on science for the kids. Complete with making their own slime at the end. CJ is big on science and ever since he saw the commercial he was hooked. I will write a complete review on that one in a couple weeks after the party. The other story with his party is the cake which of course grandma will be making. He wants this cake to have every single power ranger from every series to be on it. Good luck Grandma!

Sorry if this post comes up kind of jumbled or not as entertaining, but I am recovering from the dentist tonight. I had not been to the dentist in about fifteen years because of some awful past experiences. Well, I needed to get a crown. I was going to do sedation and just sail through. Well, there was no way I was coming up with that amt of money up front. So I had to tough it up and go. Now, I have never had as much as a cavity before, so I had no idea what to expect. It all went well until the numbing started to wear off before the procedure was done. Now it hurts like Heck! I tried to call and get some meds, but they were already closed for the weekend at three pm. So I had to take one of the percocet I have been hoarding since Drake's birth. (I never use all the pills for after birth, I hoard them until really need them.) So now I have one more and the one I took really only barely took the edge off for a short time. A good friend of mine suggested some clove oil, so I will go get some in the morning. Until then I guess I just have to deal with it. :(

The Last Thing I Want to Do After Being Awake for 36 Hours

is deal with my daughter the diaper cream artist. It never fails, if she can get a hold of it, it will be all over the place. So I had just given her a bath and had turned my back to help CJ out with his bath. Turn back around and she had used up the rest of my diaper cream.....it was all over her, all over a dining room chair, the living room table, and the recliner. She was even eating it. I had thought that I had been at the bottom of the jar, but apparently it had an infinite amt of diaper cream left for her to create her masterpieces with. Of course it had to happen at the time that poor Drake has a rash so bad that he has had to sleep with his diaper off for a night. Oh, and this cream is special order, not something you can just find at your nearest Walgreen's. So, I ordered some (http://www.jacksmagicbeanstalk.com/ we always use her cream, it's the best!) and hopefully I can scrape enough out of the old container until the new gets here. Maybe I can put Kay's talents to work and have her paint her little brother's butt.
