First sign of Spring???




....girl scout cookies! Delaney sold 333 boxes this year! Dividing and distributing was quite a family undertaking! Delaney also had the play at Wagnalls where she was a dragon!
Daxton also had his Kindergarten physical this week. He had to get his hemoglobin checked which required a prick of his finger. This was a major catastrophe, especially considering he had just had to pee in a cup and had the worst aim ever and ended up getting most of it on mommy's hand. I felt kind of like the receiving end of one of those "shoot the water at the target" games at King's Island! I was moving that cup all over trying to get in the stream! Gotta love having boys! So, when we told him he was going to get a quick blood test, it was the obvious "headed to the showers at the concentration camp" reaction!
The doctor was great, though! She knows we are big Star Wars fans in our family. So, she tells him that it is the same thing they had to do for Anakin. She said they need to check his Midi-chlorians to see if he is truly a Jedi. Well, this changed his whole attitude about the test and he willingly stuck his finger out to be tested. Imagine our surprise when he was "off the charts" and more of a Jedi than Obi-wan!!! Little did we know this would create a monster. Later, when we went to pick up the other kids at school, he went running way ahead of me and told me not to worry, he wouldn't get hit by a car or bus because he was "Jedi". Then, the next morning, when I told him to get dressed for school, he told me, "Sorry, but I don't have a mother or a father--I'm a Jedi". If the Kindergarten physical was this eventful, can't wait to see what Kindergarten has in store!!!!
