Shea had me do the green hair and eyelashes again today, and this time didn't run off when I asked to take her picture.  She's feeling much better, btw....she went back to the Doc again this morning and we figured out what was wrong - she'd dislocated a rib.  Luckily one of the pediatricians is a doctor of ostopathy, and he was able to come in and pop it back into place.  Right after he'd done it she sat up and took in a deep breath - and didn't wince because it hurt.  She's a little sore still but it's nothing compared to the pain she'd been dealing with all week.

That's my girl, all decked out in her neo-punk best. 

 

When Dave come home for Thanksgiving, our kid took a photo of the two of us chilling on the couch.  It's a little fuzzy, but it's not too bad (see, Davey?  I posted your handiwork.  Will you please quit bugging me now?)

(Hmm...I actually have some cleavage in that photo!  Cool!)

And last but not least, my son decided for some unknown reason to see if he could fit himself on the top shelf of the linen closet.  He could.  Here's the result:

(my linen closet WAS all nice and neat until he took all the sheets out and stuffed them on the next shelf down....)

Great pictures!  As for your son, a taste of things to come!  Boys do tend to try anything, and prove it!

Just ask my mom!

Yeah, I know.  He's had stitches in his chin, lip, head and feet (twice) and dermabond on a brow laceration in his quest to try anything once.

Jake's had stitches in his nose, has broken his arm, and has smashed front teeth to prove that he's game for anything as well.

Shea's only had one accident that required a trip to the ER - she shut the tip of the thumb in the car door causing a fractiure and partial avulsion of the tip.

So yeah, I know all about boys and the things they do, and as you said....it aint gonna stop any time soon!

Too awesome. Yay for individuality!

Yay for individuality!

That' what I say too!

Thanks, Marcie. She's pretty stoked that people think it's cool.

That looks like something kids do! ANd ouch for Shea, that had to hurt really bad. Glad it's less painful now.

those eyelashes are sweet! I love em!

I didn't know you *could* dislocate a rib...? How did that happen? Razzing the brothers?

Yea, BTW.  Sorry Dharma I did not ask.  But Shea is doing ok? (I was just laughing too much at the picture of the linen closet).  And like Marcie said, how do you do that?  Inquiring minds want to know.

The hair and eyelashes look great. Wonder if I could pull that off at work?

She's beautiful!!! wow
and you're looking pretty cute too Dharma,

my older sister onetime was jumping down bales of hay, in the barn, and slipped and fell face down into
a bale and fractured ribs.

I bruised my ribs onetime slipping off the ice I was climbing on and hit my ribs on the dumpster
I was trying to wiggle into, well see there was this baby bassinett in there....

We may have spoken too soon, Geezer.  She twisted earlier and had the pain come back.  If she's still hurting tomorrow we'll have to bo back and ask Dr S to put it back in again.

those eyelashes are sweet! I love em!

Aren't they great?  I want some too....we got them at a beauty supply store, they had all kinds there.  I think that I might have to get myself some with little crystals on them to wear for a night out.

I didn't know you *could* dislocate a rib...? How did that happen?

She isn't sure, but we think it was when she was rolling around on the floor with the dog on Sunday morning.

Sorry Dharma I did not ask. But Shea is doing ok? (I was just laughing too much at the picture of the linen closet). And like Marcie said, how do you do that?

It's ok, DG.  She's doing...okay, I guess.  Or she was.  She's in pain again now...I'm just hoping it will go away overnight and she'll be fine again tomorrow.

The hair and eyelashes look great. Wonder if I could pull that off at work?

Hehe...I had seen you as more of a electric blue kinda guy, Mason.  Or perhaps neon pink.

 

She's beautiful!!! wow
and you're looking pretty cute too Dharma,

Aww, thanks, Trudy!  I'm okay for my age, I guess.  But Shea...she's going to be something else.  She's already as tall as me and is very shapely.....once she grows into her features she's going to be gorgeous.  Then again, I'm biased and have mommy-goggles....but I really do think she's a very pretty girl.

my older sister onetime was jumping down bales of hay, in the barn, and slipped and fell face down into
a bale and fractured ribs.

I fractured a few in the front and broke 3 in the back a couple of years ago, and I remember the pain very well.  It was the most miserable pain; nothing I did eased it at all.

Shea looks like she would be a beauty even if she shaved her head. Having your son stuff himself in the linen closet shelf cracked me up because I can soooo see one of my boys doing that! They already hide under sinks and pretty much anywhere else they can stuff themselves. Boys are crazy but they sure are fun.

Your daughter looks way cool. Those eyelashes make her eyes stand out. I also like how the color of her shirt matches as well. You should buy her more shirts that match. Maybe even plastic pencils and pens that are green.

Dharma, did you try any eyelashes?
on Dec 17, 2005
Cool, now maybe you can get some leftover halloween makeup, and you could convince her to do green teeth too. Just thinking of the photo ops, of course.

The one with Jake's cute too. My cat does the same thing. Maybe they're related? (he does have a little more trouble stacking the sheets though)

Aww, thank you!  I'll tell her you said that!

What is it with boys and small spaces?  They seem to have an inherent need to squeeze themselves into places that boys don't belong.

We got blue lashes, pink lashes and blue and pink haircolor so she can have hair and lashes that match!

 

Dharma, did you try any eyelashes?

Yes, I did.  I got some that have little crystals along the lash line and some that are good for every day wear.  It's amazing how longer lashes can make a huge difference to the way you look!

That's Davey.  Jake couldn't figure out how to get himself in there.  But yes, the cat likes to do the same kind of thing.  She prefers paper bags though.
