We started construction today on Dustin's building (a.k.a. "man cave") LOL! I am excited about it because we desperately need a building for our lawn mower and all the other outdoorsey things that we have. My dad had a building when we were growing up and we'd spend hours outside in the shed with him. We were covered in dirt and grease by the end of the day. I hope it is somewhere Dustin & the kids can just "piddle" and hang out, work on the car (mustang), etc.
Today is Cousin Morgan's actual birthday-Happy 1st Birthday Morgan! She's is Emilynn's BFF. :-) I can't believe she's a year old already-boy how time flies!
Carson, Emilynn, and I took Patom for his radiation today. It went well, a quick appointment. We stopped at Cracker Barrel afterwards (is there anywhere else to eat?). They have a good selection of food the kids and Patom can eat (he has to have soft foods). The twins like hashbrown casserole, macaroni & cheese, fried apples, carrots, bread, pancakes, applesauce, mashed potatoes, eggs. I'm sure we'll try more stuff as the weeks continue. The twins were getting restless today so I took them out to the gift shop while Nan & Pa finished up eating. Carson fell in love with this singing pot of sunflowers. It is the most obnoxious thing, it plays the same song over and over (I can't remember the name of it unbelievably) and the flowers go up and down and spin. He would not put it back, was dancing with it....so........you guessed it- it's ours. Great-grandma couldn't resist. :-) We couldn't even ring it up, the lady had to get another one to ring up and we bought the display. The lady working there showed him a monkey that danced as well that was more geared for children, and Carson just looked at her like she was nuts. He frowned his eyebrows at her as if he was thinking..."What is wrong with you lady....that is NOT as cute as this pot of flowers." We listened to those flowers all the way home....for 45 minutes straight it played. It is "sleeping" on the windowsill in their room beside Carson's crib. Ready for him when he wakes up. Silly boy. Emilynn must have decided it wasn't fair because she prompty ran over and grabbed a stuffed bear in a headlock and claimed that as her own. She got that too. At least I don't let them get stuff every time we go out. Just sometimes. They are being real troopers with all this riding so I guess it's only fair to get a treat occasionally. Actually I had given them each a new toy this morning to play with in the car. I had held a few Christmas toys back so we got two out this morning and it made for a much easier ride today. We are taking it day by day. Tomorrow cousin Hunter is spending the day with us so I'm off to get some rest. The three of them will surely give me a run for my money.
