My Son Looks Like Quasimodo!

This past Tuesday we put Thomas to bed at night as usual but instead of sleeping he decided to play around in bed. Anyways Shawn and I were watching t.v. and all of the sudden there was a loud crash, then there was silence but only for a moment. Then we heard screaming and both ran in his room to see what happened. All I could see was this huge bump on his face. The bump on his face was twice as big as in the pictures and I thought for sure he had broke his nose. We rushed him to the hospital and the whole ride there he kept grabbing the "lump" and moving it around. It was making me sick. Anyways thankfully he did not break his nose but that still did not change the fact that he now looks a little alien like or even a distant cousin to the hunchback Quasimodo without the hunch.Today is the first day that he started looking like himself.

Christmas Production

This past Sunday was the girls dance/drama Christmas production at the Abbey Art Centre. They had two shows to preform at, one in the early afternoon and one in the evening. Julia came down with the flu Friday afternoon and was still not feeling the greatest when we arrive at the first show. She ended up still performing all her dances and skits. I was very proud of her! During the first show I was soooo busy changing kids from one costume to the other that I didn't get a chance to take very many pictures. (Both my girls had ballet, drama, hip hop, tap, jazz and lyrical dances in the first show.) It was all such a blur. I ended up buying a DVD of the show just so I can see how my girls did and also for a keepsake. Julia also was apart of an acro dance number that made front page in our local news paper. I guess that is enough bragging for one day about my girls! Anyways here are a couple pictures I took just before the show started. Kailey is wearing her ballet costume and Julia and her friend Tiarra are wearing their acro costumes.

Busy Busy Busy!

Shawn is finally coming home today. He's been out of town for 3 weeks and life has been so busy without him. The girls have had a million rehearsals and practices for their dance production this Sunday at the Abby Art Center. They are both doing really well in dance this year. I'll post some pictures of them in their cute little outfits on Sunday. Also my dad and mom are coming for the first time to watch their production. The girls are so excited.
In other news Thomas has been doing really well. He's talking a little better and is using pictures to communicate which has helped alot. The only thing that drives me a little crazy is the constant playing of classical music in my house. I'm talking all day. The minute he gets up in the morning if I don't turn on his music then he will turn on the piano or put a baby einstein movie on. I think for Christmas we will get him a mp3 player so he can listen to the music and I don't need to worry about going crazy.

My Creepy Neighbor

Today my next door neighbor calls me and tells me that my cats have scratched his truck. I told him that since the snow fall my cats have been in doors except to go the bathroom. He then asks me what I'm going to do about the scratches. There were alot of things I wanted to say but I didn't. I just said nothing and then was about to hang up, until he said in quite an evil tone "You know I have rat poisoning on my property." Okay now I'm upset, hes blaming me for something that my cats didn't do (there are tons of cats, raccoon etc.. he can't prove it was my animals!) and now he's threatened to poison my cats! He is one sick man!!!! Believe it or not this is not the first time he has threatened to kill my cats with rat poisoning. Just this summer he blamed me for his rat infestation problem at his home because I leave cat food outside on my deck for my cats to eat. This is the funny part - the creep has 2 dogs that are penned up 24/7 outside and they eat their food outside also. He also never cleans up this dogs feces so I think that's probably why he had a rat problem. I have never seen a rat on my property in the 5 years I lived here!(only dead moles, mice and birds)
Here is a list of all the sick and twisted things my next door neighbor has done:-
1. When Shawn is working, he will come to our sliding back door for no apparent reason. Just to snoop on me and he always does it when it is dark out!
2. Has peaked in on my brother having a shower by coming up onto my deck. (My brother made eye contact with him and he still tried to peak into the window. )
3. Long story short, I was 6 months pregnant and he tried to make me shovel 3 truck loads of clay/dirt off of his property. Shawn and I were making a garden and he told me he had some TOP soil that we could have. It wasn't top soil, it was CLAY so I didn't want it but he still wanted me to get rid of it.
4. Mr. Creepy stepped on a nail in our yard and threatened to sue us. We were out for lunch and he came on to our property to snoop at our new deck and that's when he stepped on the nail. It was his own fault!!!
There have been countless other things that this man has done, majority of them are peeping tom acts. Anyways I needed to vent my frustration about this man and now I feel a little better. I can't wait till we move and hopefully we will have nice normal neighbors.
