NOT COOL!

So I was going to blog last friday (10/22) but daycare called me at work at 9:45a that Penny needed to be picked up. They have a pollicy that if your kiddo has 2 loose stools in less than an hour you have to pick them up. And Penny did so off I went. We spent a nice time at home together. But I will be getting a DR's note to give to daycare telling them that Penny's got pooping issues. This is the second time I"ve had to get her b/c of her poop and when we get home she's just fine. I can't keep getting her. I have no problems picking up my kids if they are sick, I would never want them to have to sit at daycare feeling yucky. But Penny's just a pooper! So... yeah.

Last Thursday night we all went to the Roca Berry Farm to pick some pumpkins! We had a blast! We ate a funnel cake first thing when we got there. Grant loved it of course! Penny watched enviously. Poor lady. And then we walked around looking at all the cool stuff they have. There's a petting zoo w/ pigs, goats, chickens, bunnies and a YACK. Or some sort of Yack looking animal. He was not pet-able but he was there. I actually heard the pigs oink! Yeah, my experience w/ pigs is limited so I was like... wow, they really oink! haha. Grant loved it. I got some great video of him touching one of the pigs snouts. Also some good video of him petting and feeding the goats. Who, also amazingly to me, really do go BAAAA. But the best part of the trip to the pumpkin patch was this massive tube slide Joe got  Grant to go down. I wasn't so sure this was a good idea, and frankly I didn't think Grant would WANT to go down this slide alone but he did. The slide came from this huge castle they have built at the top of a hill and there's a red tube slide that goes all the way down the hill. Probably about 20yrds long and at a seriously steep angle. The first time Grant went I was at the top and Joe was at the bottom. Joe said Grant started to turn to the side as he was going down and he had a look of sheer terror on his eyes!! haha. But as soon as he got to the bottom he said AGAIN! So he went about 30 times.

At one point I had to become a total MOMMA BEAR during the slide extravaganza. There were about 5 kids going down the slide over and over at the same time as Grant. They were all doing great taking turns yadda yadda. I was at the top of the slide watching Grant go down and Joe was at the bottom to catch him and get him out of the way of the on-coming traffic of kids asap. And at one point Grant was walking up to the slide to go down and another little boy, maybe 4 or 5, was there at the same time. Grant just randomly said "Pit Stop" - which he says often. It's from the movie Cars. He wasn't saying it to anyone, just saying "Pit Stop" and the little 5yo boy turns around, gets in Grants face and goes "WHAT'D YOU SAY TO ME? I'LL KICK YOU BOY!" at which point I quickly stepped up to the window where I could see them closer and yelled "HEY!!!!" and the little boy looked at me like "shit I'm caught" and I yelled "NOT COOL!" and motioned for him to get his ass down the slide! I wanted to say more but seeing as I did not know where his mother was or how scrappy she was or how large she might be I thought "HEY, NOT COOL" was plenty. He went down the slide and left Grant alone. The best part about this... and what I wanted to say but didn't was... the little boy was carrying his little white bunny rabbit with him. You could tell it was his 'lovie' b/c it was all warn and stuff. And I wanted to be like... you can't go to a pumpkin patch with out your baby bunny you're not kicking any one! haha. Obviously... that would have been very childish of me. Oh, and his mother was at the bottom of the slide and never acted like she noticed anything so I'm guessing she's oblivious to the fact that her kids is a bully to other kids when she's not looking. The SAD thing about this... you know that little boy LEARNED that behavior by being bulled at some point. And after I yelled at the little boy Grant looked at me with such a look of surprise. I was like 'you have fun on the slide and don't worry about him'. Kids are such a-holes to eachother!!!

Well it was a good weekend. Penny was very very upset yesterday. She cried a lot. I think it's b/c she spit up her morning zantac. (she gets three doses a day). I gave her her zantac, walked away to get a wash clothe wet to wipe her eyes, came back and there was a wet spot of clear goo on her matress. Pretty sure that was her zantac. And I only give her 1.5ml's so I feel like that spot was ALL of it. With in an hour of that she was bawling. It took soo much cuddling and rocking to get her to nap. It was just like when she was a itty bitty baby again. So sad. Poor little lady! I'm glad she's not like that every day anymore! But the sad thing is that zantac is like it builds on every dose... so not having her morning dose screwed up her WHOLE DAY. The stuff has to be given in succession so when you miss a dose it eff's up the whole day. She was still awefully fussy at the end of the day! :(

We carved pumpkins last night. Grant just watched but he still loved watching. Too much goo for him. He'd likely take it into the living room and drop it on my carpet! haha. My carpet is already yucky enough. But I made G's a happy face pumpkin and mine is a bat. Joe's will get carved tonight. Grant declaired it should be a MAD FACE. lol. So in accordance w/ the phrophecy it shall be done. :) (joe doesn't carve, he just takes out the guts and roasts the NUTS, yumm).

OK. Done rambling. Happy Monday.
