Kendra and I finally got all of our X-Mas shopping done this weekend. Wal-Mart was a ten min never go in again experience and what they were sold out of we found elsewhere for cheaper. So don't be fooled, Wally wolrld seems to be getting to big for it's britches.......
Carissa's levels came back indicating she needed to have extra vit. K so we're going to have to do two shot per week until further notice. To top it all off my insurance doesn't cover vitamins so we'll have to carry the finacial burden solo on three of her meds now YIPPIE!!!!!!
The boys are getting huge I'll send X-Mas pics soon. The day after we had them taken Drew got his first black eye. It was a rather funny story... He bumped into a kid and the kid thought he was being pushed so when Drew turned around to say sorry the other kid threw a sucker punch and caught him in the eye. Drew said " I didn't hit him back cuz there was a teacher right behind me and I didn't want to get in trouble".
This was the first time I've had to think really hard about what to tell him if something like this happend again. My conclusion was that I was proud of him for showing restraint and that he did the right thing but............ If there isn't a teacher there to help you out or you can't get away from the aggresor ball up your fist and punch the kid square in the nose!!!! I don't know if this was the right thing to say but I would hate for him to take a beating because he didn't want to get in trouble. We also talked about the difference between starting a fight and defending yourself and he seems to get the concept so I feel like were good for now.
Tyler on the other hand wants Drew to point the kid out so he can beat him up for hurting his brother.............I've still got some work to do.

That is hysterical!!! With two boys in our family, it's inevitable that we too will be faced with the very same scenario...however in our case, Ty will be sticking up for Zach!! LOL
I'm sorry to hear about Carissa. We will continue to keep her in our prayers.

A BLACK EYE?!? I hope he's ok... but I guess it could be worse... at Palmyra (where I teach) we just had a kid sent to the emergency room because another student felt the need to push him down and then repeatedly kick him in the face. So yeah, make sure he doesn't just take a beating for nothing... Egads!
