getting my braces off today, finally!

but because mom is still in phoenix visitng uncle jack, i had noone to watch the boys.

 so thanks to christina, i was able to drop them off at her house in the morning.

this pic is at liberty park, between my ortho appt and my dentist appt to put a temporary venner/crown on my peg tooth.

 after filing down the peg tooth a little..

 picking up the boys at christina's house.
they were playing monopoly junior (toy story edition) with cristian and his girlfriend, melissa

 SMILE!

 sage hill had their annual kick-off party for teachers
there was a bounce house there and they had catered mexican food (tacos, quesadillas, etc)

 i had to leave a little early to pick up mom from the long beach airport, and brenny wanted to go with me.
he ended up coughing a lot (like something caught in his throat?) and he was even trying to sleep, poor thing.  but the cough got worse, i suggested he take a drink...
and a mile before our exit, he projectile vomited.  everything.
three times.  =(
poor baby.
he was frozen in place.  not sure what to do, i think.  i tried to stay calm and told him i'd 'try my best' to clean him up while we wait for nana...
ummm, we were in the new camry.  O.o
i was able to find some old, dried up wipes and a 1/2 bottle of water to soak it in, and proceeded to clean him one foot and leg at a time...i had him stand on a clean reusable bag (because the floor mat was covered in pink barf -- oh yeah, why pink??  the last thing he ate after his quesadilla was a cupcake with bright RED frosting). i took off all his clothes carefully as to not get it into his hair, and then carried him to the other end of the car to sit in dashiell's seat and took his underwear off on the other side...it was soaked through as well.
i put the blanket over his body to keep him covered.

when my mom finally called, i was still cleaning up and had to tell her that 'we had an accident IN the car'.  WHAT?!  YOU GOT IN AN ACCIDENT?!
'uh, no...an accident IN the car...it kind of smells now.'  i had to be careful not to say anything too bad that would make brenny feel badly about what had happened...

he fell asleep pretty quick.  guess he felt better. but he awoke later when we got home.  he took a bath to clean up while i removed the car seat, washed all the washable parts, and tried to clean up the car itself.  =(  it took forever and was mighty smelly. 

he felt better later and ate some chicken with rice, and derek and dashiell came home just as i was finishing up cleaning. 

not sure what made him get sick...the cheese?  (which was brennan's suggesting) or the cheese AND the bouncing?!  oh well.  at least dashiell didn't get sick in derek's car...
