Amazon reminder!

Shameless, I know!

Every once in awhile I will just remind you to use that cute little box over there.

It doesn't cost you any more to go through there (or use THIS LINK) than it would.  

Book mark the Amazon link so you can get to it easier.

Go ahead, we'll wait!

And remember...it helps me out!

Some of you are already doing so and I THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.

Now the rest of you get to buying!

Side effects of Allegra

JMonster's allergies have been HORRIBLE lately.

Just terrible!

 

His nose is junky and his eczema is flaring up.

Poor guy.

He usually takes Zyrtec, Singulair, and Flonase every day.

We decided we'd try Allegra.

Why not?

He's been on Zyrtec since he was 2...maybe he's immune to it now.

The switch has been insanity!

He is over the top hyperactive.

Unable to focus.

Eyes wide and VERY bright.

Oh, Lord, please get me a glass of wine and a xanax type of behavior.

(I mean for me, not him!)

Not sure how long we will let this experiment last.

It took about 2 weeks for things to settle down when we started Singulair.

What was that in your helmet?

A bird got trapped in the garage this week.

Today my sister came and got me out of the house and took me to the garage.

"You've GOT to see this!"

She pointed at JMonster's bike helmet hanging on the wall.

See the long piece of grass hanging out?

Yep, you guessed it!

That darn bird built a nest!

Must have used the leaves and grass from the floor of the garage.

(Yep, it's time to clean the garage!)

Good thing there weren't any eggs in it...

Telling your child about The Easter Bunny (& Santa & The Tooth Fairy)

5 years old and knows too much!

 

 

Today was the day.

JMonster wouldn't be put off when he asked.

"Is the Easter Bunny REAL?"

We've never lied to him.

We've just been very good at deflecting his questions.

"Look, Buddy, it's a giant spider!"

But today, his persistence won.

JMonster has joined the ranks of adults.

He now knows...

And my heart is breaking just a little for the loss of that magic.

And I'm also sighing in relief.

No more hiding!

So, do your kiddos still believe?

How did you tell them?

Funny things JMonster says

We went camping for the Easter weekend with our church group.  

(I promise to post about it later!)

The bathrooms near our campsite were under construction so there were port a potties outside.

When we went to use the restroom and saw another person reading the signs on the restroom doors, JMonster announces,
"Those bathrooms are broken, but the half baths over there are okay for you to use."

A new spin on a portable restroom.

Half bath.

Almost makes it bearable!

HAPPY EASTER!

HAPPY EASTER!

Prayers that your day was filled with thoughts of...

His sacrifice

The depth of his blessing as he descended into hell

And the love that overcame the grave!

He is ALIVE!
