OUR FAMILY CHAOS

Well Saturday Mason and I ran a few errands, ate lunch with Scott, and went out to a friends house for a play date. Mason got his flu shot on Friday and had been running fever so I didn't think much of it until he started complaining that his mouth hurt. So while we were at Christy's house I was changing him and he started complaining again so I looked into his mouth and the right tonsil was swollen really bad. So we came home - not before Julian (Mason's play date) threw a hard rubber ball at Mason's face while Mason was watching t.v. and busted his lip - now it has an ulcer on top of the cut (if that makes any sense). So Mason cried all night about his mouth hurting. So this morning we took him to the pediatricians office and he has tonsillitis and ulcer on his lip. So I bought some orajel -- he didn't like that at all - It was like I sat him on fire or something. But it made it feel better though. After I got his prescription I went Christmas shopping - I took the opportunity of Scott watching football and Mason laying lethargically on the bed to go shopping. Well I got most of Mason's stuff: Thomas the train Aquadoodle, Lite Brite, Bicycle, Thomas the train Viewfinder and Koala Brothers refill for the viewfinder, Hot Wheels race car thing - like the ones we had when we were little - pull the trigger and the cars race, barn thing with animals from Ikea, and my newest purchase was a brand new guitar on ebay!!! Now all he needs is Children's sheet music -- Uncle David do you have any? In case any of you didn't know Mason loves music -- he also is asking for a piano. The only problem is Mommy and Daddy will have to learn as well so we can teach him. hahaha Wouldn't you all like to be the fly on the wall for that one! Scott's parents came over tonight for my birthday and Ann made a red velvet cake Scott's favorite. We didn't get to do anything for his birthday with them so it was a joint cake celebration I got a pottery vase and he got a shirt (but he got it already on his birthday). Mason helped me blow out the candles -- I got all of them but one and he blew the last one out -- air and a little spit hahaha! Scott grilled pork chops and I made corn on the cob and mashed potatoes - it was nice supper - oh yeah Granny came over to eat too! Well that is about it for tonight! Hope you all had an eventful weekend too, just without the doctor visit!
