not much to update on. Craig is still ill. He has missed 2 days of work...very unusual for that man. I'm trying to take it easy (whatever that really means :) ) and Mason remains as chipper and positive as ever.
I was frustrated this am because my hair straightner died on me and Mason came in the bathroom and was commenting on my hair (it did look ridiculous) and then he said "But I still love you mom!!!!" and gave me a huge hug. what a sweetie!!
We have found a way to help him burn energy in the house....Cardboard!! He has a huge piece he uses to slide down the stairs with!! It is hilarious! He FLIES down the stairs. And if someone holds the cardboard for him he can use it like a slide instead of a sled. Who needs a playground?
It finally stopped raining, so I brought him outside to run some laps in the backyard. The ground is too wet to play in. Hopefully he'll sleep well tonight.
There is a new bakery in Superior that makes gluten-free foods. I had Sundried Tomato Feta bread yesterday...It was fabulous!! I also bought a pizza crust and we had pizza last night that tasted like REGULAR pizza!!! I felt so normal and felt like I died and went to heaven!!!
So, that is all that is happening here. Anything new anywhere else? How is the car running Steve?
Cathy any ideas about that costume for Mason? I am stumped.

I was thinking that for his mask/antennae/headband thingie you could use fun foam. It's light, easy to cut and CHEAP!!! You might need special glue to hold it together. I think that I'll be coming back down to Duluth at the end of October (before halloween), so if you want some help, I might be able to arrange a housecall.
Something to go with cardboard: TAPE. Any kind of tape: scotchtape, masking tape (it comes in all kinds of colors), painters tape, duct tape, foil tape, etc. I had a little boy in one of my classes who asked for tape for Christmas. He was thrilled to find his stocking full of tape! Home Depot is an awesome place....rollers, buckets, pvc pipes, wire (yes, kids love to sculpture with wire), and on and on and on.
But tape. Definitely tape.
Mason's favorite tape is the blue painters tape!! he LOVES it!! My dad is getting him some for his birthday or Christmas.
We find that Mason is more fascinated with "real" items instead of toys items. For his birthday we are giving him Craig's desk and loading it up with desk organizers.
I would LOVE a housecall!!!
