I think my blog is lacking some personal posts lately so I am going to add one. Let’s see. Maybe I should start on what happened tonight. My mother and father in law were upstairs with the kids and Greg and I were downstairs eating or something mundane. It didn’t take long to hear a loud thump and then screaming. I run upstairs and find Alyssa has a freaking sucker in her mouth and Colton was getting reamed for horsing around with her when she had a sucker. I put on my mommy police hat and separate the kids and find out what happened and all the while the baby is just scared because my father in law was yelling. Ok so it turns out the sucker was secondary. Alyssa bumped the side of her face on a chair and got hurt. She shouldn’t have had a sucker (we outlaw them here) and he shouldn’t have been horsing around without making sure nobody would get hurt. They are kids, they will get hurt. But it scared the crap out of my father in law. Apparently Alyssa had Colton’s dollar and wouldn’t give it back so he went to mess with her. Typical reaction in the family is for hubby and his dad to react first and ask questions later. Anyway, Alyssa is fine. Just a small bruise on her cheek. No therapy needed.
I’m thinking I need to get my holiday guide on another blog on its own but I am not sure. Any thoughts? Does anyone needs any gift ideas for certain ages? I may not be reviewing every single thing I list on the guide but there are things my kids like. I know for me I only want one thing for Christmas. Airtime minutes for my Verizon prepaid phone! What do YOU want for Christmas?
