We came home from work/school the other night and the boys headed straight upstairs before I could even get Brody's coat off. I followed them up and decided to grab one load of laundry and run it back downstairs. Next thing I know, I hear the toilet being flushed over and over and I immediately knew it is Brody.
Here is what I found.
He had taken three (brand new) rolls of perfectly good toilet paper and put them in the toilet and taken them back out. Water was everywhere. I'm just glad the toilet didn't get clogged. (he has chocolate all over his face which is another story)
Mason wanted me to take a picture. He thought he looked "sharp".
We have to work on Brody's manners.
And his little attitude. He loves to hit, then give YOU evil eyes like you did something wrong. Here he is banging his head in time out...
I love puzzles and always have. We borrowed a 500 piece puzzle from Mamaw the other day and Mason and I put it together. He is actually very good at puzzles. He was interested when we were putting together the characters but he told me "this is boring" when we were working on the snow and trees. He was still proud.
This wasn't a very good week for Valentine's. It's chemo week and that is never fun. I just couldn't get any fun ideas going and certainly didn't have the time. So we went with the traditional 99 cent treats from Target.
You can't go wrong in Mason's eyes with Justice League.
Brody gave fruit snacks.
Mason also had a Valentine's Day party at school. We had to bring sliced strawberries. A little girl in his class apparently doesn't like strawberries and it "hurt his feelings". I tried to explain that it didn't hurt mine. His teacher told us to bring them. But he kept saying, "You are supposed to like strawberries. Who doesn't like strawberries?!" Oh well.
Here was there Valentine's loot. Trust me, I didn't go to the store to buy a thing besides candy and stuffed animals. BUT I found a bag of things that we had put up for Christmas a couple of weeks ago that we never got out! Oops. It was hidden in John's closet, so they got extra stuff like Wii games, etc.
Of course I took pictures of them in their Valentine' t-shirts. Mason says chicks dig superheroes (which I'm pretty sure it said last year) and Brody's says eligible bachelor.
I was using my good camera and caught a couple of extra shots. Brody whacked Mason on the back of his head with his new cell phone. And I caught "the look". I see it about a hundred times a day. Brody does something bad and looks at you with this glare.
I absolutely LOVE this picture.
Guess Mason has the look too, but we never see it.
John and I don't do a thing for Valentines. I could think of nothing worse than going out to eat on a crowded night. I did get him a card, but let's face it, he feels HORRIBLE. Just awful. His Mom took him to chemo yesterday and they picked up some roses. I'm sure his Mom picked them up, but it doesn't matter. The thought of him being so sick, but still worried about me having nothing, means the world to me. We didn't even get to talk yesterday morning before I left for work because he could hardly move. The moment he woke up I got a text saying he was sorry he felt so bad and he hoped I had a good day. I'm not sure I could say I would have done the same. I have the sweetest, kindest husband in the world. He may not be a romantic, but he would never let me feel anything less than loved, even on such a silly holiday like Valentine's Day…even when he is so so sick.
We did have a good night. John's Mom had signed up to bring us dinner. She picked up Longhorn's. It was delicious and very much appreciated. John had not eaten in over 24 hours and was finally able to eat. He was getting pretty dehydrated so I was thrilled he ate so much. We ended the night trying to stay awake watching a move in bed.
Now we are ready to get this weekend past us and have a good week next week! One more round of chemo done and only one left!!! Praise the Lord!!
