Where have we been?

What a week we have had! If you had stopped by anytime in the last week and a half you would have seen a mom and a little boy still in their PJ's, a messy house, and Toy Story or Nemo on the TV. We all were hit with a horrible cold-- Sore throat, sneezing, runny nose, cough, fever. You name it, we had it.

Monday morning we were finally feeling normal so we decided to venture out. We hit Costco, Bed Bath & Beyond, Cost Plus, Sonic, Grocery Store... by naptime both Lucas and I were spent. We both took a 3 1/2 hour nap!

Tuesday morning had good promise as well... I got up and got ready before Lucas even woke up! I bathed him and we had breakfast. I thought, "Finally, life it getting back to normal" --note to self, never think this-- not 10 seconds later Lucas tumbled out of his Booster Seat, hit his mouth on the table, bit through his lip and blood was EVERYWHERE. It all happened in slow motion. I scooped Lucas up, grabbed the nearest towel, and tried to figure out if he still had teeth. Then I called Andy told him to come home immediately. (He handles situations like this much better... I tend to over react). Andy comes home and the bleeding is almost under control and we see the bite mark under his lip.

We decide to call Bompa to see if he was by any chance in town to take a look. Unfortunately he was in Mesquite but he told us what to do. Since his upper lip didn't split we decided he didn't need stitches. But now Lucas is on a strict popsicle and milk shake diet until he heals.

His poor little cheek is swollen and his smile is a little crooked. You can't tell in the pictures, but the cut goes from the crease of his lip and about a half an inch inward.

So today was spent, once again in PJs, eating popsicles, and watching Woody Buzz.

Maybe tomorrow we will get out of the house?
