Just so you know, this photo was taken awhile ago on our cell phone. Zach was trying to have a funny face. Well, I felt this face was so fitting to go along with the first word of the post 'stinky.' After we had taken the kids bowling today with Zach's unit we decided to head down to Wichita Falls. I don't think we had ever seen so many skunks on the side of the road, on the same road, for the stretch we had been on. During that 45 minute drive I swear there were about 12-15 dead skunks. It smelled terrible. After the first few we just had to start laughing at the stench and the number of them. Can someone please tell me what is the importance of skunks? Purpose? I would sure love to know. I swear their smell is still lingering...ewwwww.
While in Wichita Falls, TX we went to a few stores getting some things we need. For Hannah we got her some No Bite nail polish in hopes this will help her with her finger sucking. She has never taken a pacifier, she just sucks on the same two fingers which drives me nuts and I know isn't any good for her fingers or her teeth. I am hoping this No Bite polish works because I am at a loss of what to do for her to get her to stop sucking those fingers of hers.
For Joshua we went to Academy to try and find him some shin guards for soccer. I know soccer season is right around the corner and my goodness was the store wiped out of the tiny ones for kids. We did manage to find one pair for him to use that fit relatively okay. We also tried finding him some cleats but they don't make them or at least this store didn't sell them in his size. He wears a toddler size 6-7 and most won't start till size 10. So we will just have to improvise.
We didn't need anything for Josiah until...he had another blow-out! This boy has some talent at making messes which very few of his mess will actually be in his diaper. Grrr. We just happened to be at a Sam's Club which was huge (I guess the saying is true that everything is bigger in Texas...lol) so we got him some clothes there since I forgot to pack a spare set of clothes in the diaper bag. I can't remember everything:( Oh well, it was a good laugh.
We went a few other places but it was nice to get out of Lawton and go for a drive with my family. It was fun, even including the skunks and a blow-out. On the drive home Joshua just would not shut his mouth. This kid does not know how to be quiet so he sang his ABC's and various other songs. He probably sang 'Old McDonald Had A Farm' for about 20 minutes going through every animal he could think of which was just fine with us since all we did was sit there while he sang it all by himself. After that he decided he needed to count to 100 which he did a great job with, then counted in Spanish to ten, told us all the shapes, colors and whatever other random thought that came into that brain of his. The drive home went quickly thank goodness, to where the children got a bath, pj's on, bedtime routine and off into lala land they all went without a peep. Can you hear the crickets? So peaceful! What a good night.
So that was our stinky fun afternoon. Hope yours was just as equally fun ;)
Oh, if you were wondering, we never did get a call back from Joshua's doctor. Hopefully we will hear back from her on Monday.
