Disney Live

Sunday, we surprised Conner with a trip to see Disney Live the Musical! We have all been running in seperate directions for the past 3 weeks since I have had foot surgery. He has been tossed around here and there and missing his mommy and daddy! We went with our friends, Seth, Nicole, and Kaylynn.

Surgery!

Conner had surgery Wednesday, having a tonsillectomy and adnoidectomy and a circumcision revision, His doctors were Dr. Finch, Dr. Samm, and Dr. Leeds. He had it done at my workplace, the Evansville Surgery Center. He was loving it in the beginning. He got a lot of special attention. He had tons of visitors before and after surgery and he was eating it up. All of my friends, co-workers, anesthesia doctors, and a lot of surgeons all stopped by to visit with Conner and meet him. He was so happy, it was like a party. I got to walk back with him to the Operating Room and stay with him while he went to sleep.
After he woke up, it wasn't as much fun. He felt pretty crummy. He did great with the tonsillectomy but not so much with the circumcision. That was where he had his most pain.

He is on day two of recovery. Still hurting in that area. Pants and underwear are off limits and he has decided today that it hurts less to stand. So, from 6 a.m. til noon, he stood. Even standing to watch a movie. Finally, I got him to sit on the couch and he fell asleep comfortably.

Hopefully, he improves more each day.

Welcome Back Little Booger!

We woke up this morning and found that Little Booger, our Elf on the Shelf, had returned. He was taking a Marshmallow bubble bath. He had made us all a North Pole Breakfast of powdered sugar doughnuts and hot chocolate and left Conner a letter, some candy, and a Microphone.

Conner was very happy to see him!

 

 

Letter to Elf on the Shelf

The last couple of years, we had the Elf on the Shelf. Ours is named "Little Booger."

Yes, classy, I know. Anyways, Conner has asked about him all year. Well, evidently, my sister must have needed some good behavior reinforcements, because their elf has been at their house for a month and Conner has seen it there twice and wants to know why his elf hasn't came back. So, looks like we are inviting our Elf back ridiculously early this year, THANKS STEPH!!

 

So, last night in bed, I asked Conner, "Are you sure you want the elf to come back this year, I mean all he does is spy on you and if you are bad, he flies to Santa and tells on you."

Conner said "Yeah, I miss him, why didn't ours come back?"

So, I said "Maybe he doesn't know we moved, maybe we should send him a card with our new address on it."

 

So, when Conner got up this morning, he was on a mission. He said, "Mom, where do we keep our paper that we write letters on?"

I said "Oh, it's in the printer, are we going to practice writing your name before school?"

Conner said "NO."

And off he went. I heard him asking for an envelope and a stamp.

He came back with this letter. He read it to me. It says,

"We moved!"

Then he asked if I had Little Booger's address at the North Pole. I gave it to him and he addressed the envelope and he waited patiently for Steve to take him to the mailbox to mail it.

 

"Little Booger
North Pole"

"We Moved"

Combining Soybeans

Last year, Conner was interested in the combine that was picking the fields around my parents house.  My parents had told that Farmer about it. So, this year, when that farmer was headed over to harvest my parents fields, he called their house and asked if Conner could come over. Well, Conner happened to be on his way to Rockport with my mom. So, Conner was excited but nervous. He would only ride if his buddy, Granddad went with him. They spent an hour in the combine picking soybeans and dumping them into the truck. Oh, this was a big deal to this little man. He got a baggie of soybeans and My parents developed the pictures. Conner couldn't wait to get to school the next day and tell all his friends about driving a combine and he took the pictures and the soybeans to show everyone. He got to speak in morning meeting at daycare about his experience.
