friday the 13th came a day earlier for us

late post but on thursday, march 12th, brandon had a minor accident. grandma came to visit that week and i left her with the boys or i should say i left the boys with my mom. anyways, not more than 2 hrs of being at work, i get a call on my cell from my mom with screaming crying in the background (brandon) and my mom telling me brandon fell off his scooter and his chin is bleeding. i rush home and see a big hole in his chin. luckily by the time i got there, most the bleeding had stopped. i wasn't sure if it required stitches so i sent a pic via cell phone to eddie who was at work. he couldn't see it that well but said as long as the bleeding stopped, it should be ok and that he'd look at it when he got home from work.
after getting the whole story, it appears that brandon was doing "tricks" on his scooter. he was riding it backwards, showing off and it tipped over and he fell on the tile face first. how he got that hole in his chin still is a mystery...maybe it just caught on the corner of the tile grout?? so friday the 13th came a day early for us.

picures with grandma.

so did brandon learn his lesson? i don't think so........he's all back to "normal". jumping, climbing, running, not listening. here he is posing again with bryan beiing little super heroes!

what $10 bought

my "to do" list was added on as the day went due to my ill preparadness and foggy head..... here is the before list as i went out the house:

drop off brandon at school

go drop off a form the dds needs to sign for kindergarten enrollment

go to farmer's market

go home & make a card or 2

go back to pick up brandon



here's what really happened:

dropped off brandon

went to dds office; sat in car digging 'round my purse looking for the form

went all the way back home to get the form

go back to the dds office

headed to the farmer's market but wished i had my camera on this beautiful sunny day

went home to get my camera

went to farmer's market

headed home

finished 2 cards and then realized the time----- i was almost late picking up brandon!!











bryan more interested in digging around the dirt.












our yummy strawberries!




bryan's share....... i had only $10 in cash so here's the breakdown: $6 for strawberries, $1 for 2 pomelos, $3 for a bag of freshly made salted peanuts. money well spent to support local farmers!

also at the farmer's market was this strange looking fruit called atemoya. while watching bryan dig, i was sampling this & that. the sign said that is was a cross between a mango, and something else & something else [i forgot :-( ] it looked like an artichoke. it was weird in texture but tasted good. you can read more about it here: http://www.answers.com/topic/atemoya
