::What A Day!::

Today started off beautifully. We got to school on time, in a good mood, a cute new shirt, and blowing kisses to mommy as she left the room...all in all good start!

I went and clocked into my classroom and within about 15 minutes I heard my name from the door. I turned to see Stephanie, our front desk administrator, holding Brant with blood on his forehead. I of course was in a little shock and wanted to know what happened. Apparently, he tripped somehow and fell directly onto a door hinge. OUCH! Not many tears coming from my tough guy though, I will say that much.

As I was headed out the door to take him to Scottish Rite, a mom from his classroom was coming in and noticed his head. She is a nurse practitioner and asked if she could look at it. I told her sure, I would love the opinion. She thought they would not put in stitches, so she offered to go and get something to fix it and do it before she left. I was all about not having ANOTHER trip to the ER so soon, so I complied. He was bandaged up before I knew it and ready to get back to his friends.

The rest of the morning went by without a fuss, until about lunch time. I heard Stephanie's voice again and knew it couldn't be good. She said Brant was bleeding out of his band aid and asked me what I wanted to do. So I called his doctor and they told me I should take him somewhere to get it looked at if it is still bleeding. I found out a little after that that he actually hit it again, and thats probably what caused the re-bleed.

Here is a picture of him on our way to Scottish Rite.

After we got there we were seen pretty quickly and he had numbing paste on it before I knew it. Let me tell you how NOT easy it is to keep a 17 month old from tearing off the tape that is on his forehead for 30 minutes...NOT EASY! After that settled in we were on our way back to the room so he could get patched up. The doctor was very nice and Brant was blowing kisses and waving until they put him in the papoose (no idea how you spell that). He was SO tough though and was just ready to get home and go to sleep...he got 3 stitches!

Here is a pic of him before bed time when I was putting a new band aid on it.

Tomorrow he is going to see MiMi so we can try and control his actions a little more. Hopefully no more bumbs to the wounded site! So thats our day...but I have learned that I am going to have to watch him like a hawk because of his pain tolerance. He could break a leg and I would never know...

::Sunday at Mimi and PawPaw's::

::The Weekend::

The weekend has come and gone and it feels like it was never here for the most part. It is Sunday afternoon, Brant is at my mom and dad's for the night because they haven't seen him in so long, and Brandon and I are getting ready to go out to eat.

Friday night was pretty quiet. Brant and I went over to April's to play with Porter while Brandon worked out at the gym. We went to bed fairly early only to rise early on Saturday. Saturday brought on Hadyn's 3rd Birthday party in Macon, so we headed down at 8am to get there on time. Brant had a blast and so did Hadyn, it looked like Christmas with all her presents!

After the party we went and watched the UGA/FLA game at Brandon's parents house. GO DAWGS! I can't believe we finally did it. It must have been Brant and I supporting UGA thru our sweatshirts on Friday. We drove back late on Saturday night only to realize how much we had to do today.

So - I am writing to you after laundry has started, oil in the cars has been changed, cars have been cleaned out, the house has been vacuumed, laundry folded, and I spent hours in different stores looking for some pants for me, only to walk out with clothes for Brant. So is the life of a Mom I suppose.

Hope you all have had a wonderful weekend...and here's to a safe and fun Halloween!

::School Time::

Here is a picture from Brant at school. We are having a great week. Good days, good dinners, and Brant seems to be doing well with his new antibiotic which makes for good nights!

Hope all is well with you. We are headed to Macon this weekend for Hadyn's 3rd birthday at Kangaroo Bob's...its a jumpy inside playground for those of you who don't know what that is! Brant is going to love it. He is growing up all too fast you guys...if you haven't seen him lately you need to!

Love you!

::Pics from Family Friday::

I know this is just a couple of pictures, and I will post and write more later but I wanted you to at least know we are alive! We had a great day at the Dr, Zoo, Varsity, and IKEA! It was a huge day and we are so thankful that we were able to spend it together! We don't get to do this often! Also, before I sign off here, HAPPY BIRTHDAY LALA! I hope your surprise was great!

::Sorry So Slack::

So, I have been WAY slack on posting here lately. Things have been a little rough around the house to say the least in every way imaginable. Brant had to go to the doctor three times last week for shots, plus a flu shot. I was so busy with work, as was Brandon, and everyone was just going through the motions. We all have weeks like that though on occasion don't we?

Anyways - I have some fun pictures to post from the fall festival at school on Saturday. Brant had a blast playing in the ball pit and tons of fun just running around getting into everything he possibly could!

This Friday Brandon has the day off for the Goldrush Days in Dalonegha, so we have decided to take a family trip to the Zoo! How fun is that going to be! I am so looking forward to it! Brant is going to LOVE it. Also - we get to keep Sammy this week again, always fun. And my friend Sarah is coming down for a visit this weekend! Dad is in Argentina and Mom is headed to Lynchburg for La's 23rd birthday (and Pat's too)! Its a crazy week this week! Hope all of you are doing well!

Enjoy!

::Getting Better?::

So apparently Brant's shots are not slowing him down. I will write more later, but I wanted to post this before I went to work. This is from bath time last night...he was being a wild man!

::Brant's First Car (Used)::

So, todays fun fact is that Brant is now the proud owner of his very own car. Yes, it is used...but hey, Brandon and I have never had a NEW car, so why should he? Our neighbor across the street, Tracy, who I just met this morning, and is a huge Auburn fan...YUCK (sorry Stacey), was having a garage sale. I noticed the car and thought I bet Brant would be SO into that. So, when I pulled back in the driveway from the store I went and asked Brandon if I could take Brant to look at it to see if he liked it. Of course, Brant did not want to get out. So, I had to drive him back to the backyard, shut the gate, and take my check book back over and pay her. He loves it! He didn't even get out of it for like an hour. So, thats our buy for this week! Love you all.

GO DAWGS!

::So I Lied::

I read a chapter in the new Nicholas Sparks' book and noticed the video was done...so here it is!

Enjoy...

::Am I Cute or What?::

Today was a good day! Brant wore his new Winnie the Pooh overalls that his Nana gave him and was busy, busy, busy at school! Wanted to show you the video to show you how good he is getting at his animal sounds...so cute, but it is taking forever to upload so I will put it up in the morning!

Hope everyone is well...halfway done with the week, ready to cheer on the Dawgs this Saturday!

We better beat them Vols!

Love you all!

::Pics from Macon::

As you all know, we spent the weekend in Macon with our family. Being gone for a weekend means so much now. It means laundry, shopping, and cleaning pile up. I have been playing catch up this week so far, and probably will continue to do so until next week! So, that is why there has been no blogging, but here are some pics from the weekend!

Love you all, will write more soon!
