Attempting to be a Super Mom

This week should have been relaxing seeing as I've been on bed rest.  Guess what!  It wasn't relaxing at all.  Tuesday, I had my doctor's appointment and Shawn had his.  He'd been seeing a doctor for his numerous health problems and the doctor had been pushing him off and treating him like he's a hypochondriac.  He decided to see a new doctor because there was really something wrong and he wasn't getting the help he needed or was paying for.  He went to his first appointment with the new doctor on Tuesday afternoon.  The doctor immediately set him up for a colonoscopy and endoscopy for Thursday.  Wedenesday, Shawn started his fast.  I made him jello because he could only have clear liquids and jello.  Ben decided he wanted jello.  Shawn gave him a bite, and Ben gagged but apparently liked it because after he finally got it swallowed he wanted another bite.  The 2nd bite also made him gag and then he spit the jello out on the ...

Today, while Ben was watching one of his shows this morning, I managed to get a video of him dancing, singing and playing his guitar along to the music.  It was just the cutest thing so I couldn't resist.  The show is The Fresh Beat Band. Sorry you can't hear it very well. The only word out of the song he knew was 'cool' so he kept saying it over and over again. Today, we did a pizza party for lunch.  Ben loves pizza.  It might be his favorite food ever so I try to treat him to it whenever possible.  When we do these special lunches, he gets to drink Sprite with it, which he may enjoy just as much as the pizza. 

Sunday was a great day, but to balance that out for us, we had to have a not so great one yesterday.  Well, we got the tree lean fixed and it looks great. Ben and I did another fun craft that included two of his favorite things as of late, his hand prints and a tree.  He was so proud of it that he just wanted to show it off.  Even after we put it on the fridge, he was directing us back to the fridge to look at his "tee." Here's the side of our fridge with the Christmas crafts we've done so far.  Along with keeping you updated on the crafts we do, I'll keep you updated on our fridge (our art gallery). We have been having problems with the transmission slipping on our car.  Being a standard, this means it's our clutch.  We were hoping that we could get through Christmas and then fix it, but last night, we decided that is definitely no possible.  The disturbing part of this is that we had the same thing fixed, actually the whole ...
