Serioulsy - are we on candid camera???
6/18/08 - School calls "can you pick Brady up he just threw up everywhere" I proceed to get him 3 minutes later the entire classroom has been evacuated and there is disinfectant everywhere! I go pick up the pool lil guy and he starts doing a gurgle in his throat, I immediately run to the bathroom tripping on a plastic elephant trying to get him over the toilet that is only 3 cm from the ground which is hard to balance while doing in heels....... Take Brady home to have him nap the rest of the day with Dad.
6/19/08 - Brady wakes up after eating a huge dinner, no fever, no sign of any sickness.......so off to school we go.......first sign of Brady "Umm you know you can't bring him today" "oh that is okay he hasn't puked and doesn't have a fever" "We have a policy that there is a 24 hour waiting period" - which yes makes sense when I think about it but I was having different thoughts as I was standing there fully dressed for the day at 8:03 and nowhere to go but home to take a 1/2 a day off to divide and conquer the day with hubbie.
6/20/08 - I am off in court for the day - Chris is home with the kids since we had to do some schedule flopping. I call at one of my breaks to let Chris know that I will most likely be here all day. As he sounds sorta sleepy I ask what's wrong? I just threw up - GREAT. Oh and by the way you have 6 4-year olds coming over for a movie night that I offered to host well before I knew what this week was going to entail or that I would be working.......okay have fun with that.
6/21/08 - Brady decides at 2 a.m. that the only place he will be comforted and fall asleep in if some portion of his skin is touching moms face - NO LIE. I would hear deep heavy snore move him to a pillow next to me - immediately up and whinny until he crawls his sweaty little body over my face and falls fast asleep - ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? Chalk up another 4 hour sleep night.
6/22/08 - Everything seems great - until approx 8pm when I feel a tinge of a sore throat.
6/23/08 - Woke up with a wool sweater in my mouth and a mm of a space available for air in one nostril. SWEET. Body achy, eyes watery, nose stuffed........GOOD TIMES - ended up taking the day off work and tried to recoup.
6/24/08 - Home from work due to some rescheduling.......Good times with the kids - both are home that day - 4 pm rolls around and Brooke says her belly hurts her - OH HERE WE GO.....
She pukes and is in bed at 6:54 a FIRST! So as I am putting a WILLING tired girl to bed I think okay Brady goes down in a 1/2 hour - I can go to bed early and shake this head cold.....go down to get Brady see that he is BUTT NAKED and running around dancing which I giggle at the cuteness until i look over and notice that the diaper he pulled off was full of poop - so I immediately have him in the tub and a can of resolve squirted all over my carpet.
SEE WHAT I MEAN - THE CAMERAS CAN COME OUT NOW - THE GIG IS UP YOU REALLY GOT US THIS TIME...........HAHA VERY FUNNY.....
but no cameras, no jokes, just a taste of reality.........
So today was quite stellar - I went to work, kids both went and STAYED at school everything is just ROSES - but I still will not cancel my date with the NyQuil bottle that I am so looking forward to.....
Cheers to a healthy rest of the week.

Dad's Diamond Day 2008!
For those fans of Zoolander.....This is Brady's "blue steel" look.......
Okay cotton candy - I don't get it, I don't know what the fascination is with inhaling a sticky cotton ball - I have never been a fan and can't comprehend how these kids think it is the greatest thing on earth - oh yeah its 100% SUGAR.....I guess I get why they would think it is cool...
The kids got to run the bases afterward - my pix are not fabulous - one downfall of not having an eye piece to look through on a camera in the blazing sun.....bu this is Brady bugs rounding first leaving Brooke and Dad in his dust (the boy was in heaven!) Notice Brooke staying ever so CLOSE to dad as the pig and the chipmunk mascot are at first base - still a sworn enemy to her!
Brady getting some "rad air" in the bounce house.....
Seriously folks put a fork in me - I am dunzo..... I need some sleep and I need it NOW!

Thunderstorms Schmunderstorms.......
Hmmm....... I saw sister doing this but she somehow she got down from here and I can't seem to figure that part out!
A Boy and his hose - could he be any happier?
Making Ice cream floats in the "hot tub"
How many toddlers can we fit in a three foot pool?
Beating the heat and humidity!
Brady's first big experience in the "bounce house" this year. He loved it but would get nervous when the big kids would bounce too hard!
She looks forward to it every year!

Commencement Craziness.....
*They rented out an entire church
*When we walked in we were escorted to a certain side (based on who your teacher was) I almost responded "we are friends of the bride"
*Parents are in full on suits and ties and women in dresses and I kid you not one in a Bonnet as if she was going to sit on the Easter Bunnies lap afterwards.
*Then a music procession begins and a full 1/2 hour slide show begins, which btw you could purchase after the event for $3. What is this senior prom? (Seriously though it was really cute they took pix of the kids from all year and all their events and made this slide show that really solidifies how much I love where they go to school!)
*The kids are then led in into the church dressed in full graduation caps and led across the stage in a large motorcade to be applauded.
*Then they begin to present awards to the kids (each one got one in the detrimental era of no one looses) like class clown, most likely to be a "fill in the blank" Brooke took home the "sweetest girl award" - and as it was spoken I was so proud but then felt the need to almost protest and request that they accompany her home some nights :)
* Each teacher then gave tear filled speeches about how much they will miss these kids.....
*Then each kid is announced given a diploma and a public school welcome kit.
*Then we went downstairs to have a full on refreshments and treats.
I don't think my high school did that much for us.......Brooke was loving every minute of it! Brady on the other hand had enough after about an HOUR AND A HALF of the festivities (so much for my 15 minute theory!) So we headed out to dinner to celebrate her big jump into public schooling and she dawned her graduation cap during dinner like she was royalty. A few pix of the event and her admired teachers....
Her Favorite - Ms. Jen - she will hopefully come babysit for the kids this summer!
Ms. Stephanie - who she adores and tells me that she looks like the girl on the cover of my US magazine (Angelina - ha!)
