Flower #2
These are not actual photos from my yard, but I do have them here. I was just too lazy to put the memory card back in the camera.

Wasp Stings and other Things
Hi there,
Well, we found out yesterday that Craig developed an allergy to wasp stings. He was stung twice on his route yesterday and had a pretty bad reaction. No anaphalactic shock or anything, but SEVERE hives. He now has to carry an epi-pen when he is outside. His comment on the whole thing was :"It would be nice to continue having one member in the family without a medical issue" hahaha! Between me and Mason and our own allergies and other things, Craig WAS the only one without anything. I just welcomed him to the club!
I am on psuedo bedrest right now. Having a few contractions and other things going on last week. Went in for monitoring on Friday and was sent home with many restrictions. It is pretty boring, but at least it is not full bedrest like it was with Mason. This coming weekend I can try adding a few things to my day and see how it goes.
The nice thing about this, is I am not so rushed or trying to accomplish so many things, so Mason and I are having a lot of quality time. I think he kind of likes it too, although I can't run around with him or take him anywhere.
WARNING: If any men are reading this, you may not want to read the next part. FYI
At the hospital I had to be "examined" and it was a resident. A nice resident, but I heard him mutter under his breath "I can't find the cervix". This had also happened when I was pregnant with Mason. I am not sure where the cervix can go, or how hard it is to find it, but apparently mine likes to play hide and seek with the residents. So that was a lovely "exam"
Heat has left and so has the humidity, but I think it is coming back tomorrow. It has been nice to be able to breathe again!! i hope everyone else is cooling down and enjoying more tolerable weather. I am going to try to put some camping pictures on here soon.

I HATE this HOT weather!!!!
Just want to let everyone know that it is hot here in Tomahawk, too. I hate it!!! Today Mr. Jim and I have to sit at the Historical Society for 2 hours. It's our time to volunteer. They have fans but no airconditioning. We don't have it at home either but it's always hotter in town.
OK, Jolee, the flower is on the milkweed plant. I never noticed that they had flowers before. I'm waiting to see if it forms a pod. Will keep you posted.
Poor Mason!! Just blow up one of your air mattresses for him to fall on.
I'm off to sit in front of a fan. Keep cool everyone.

Can't Stop Movin'
Well, I am up at 1:30am because I have Restless Leg Syndrome in my left leg. I had this when I was pregnant with Mason, but it didn't start until about 28 weeks. I am at 22 weeks now. At that time, I just called it "Crazy Legs", but now there is a real name for it. It is HORRIBLE!!!
My left leg won't stop moving, and feels horrible if I don't move it. It woke me up tonight and it won't settle down. 18 weeks to go!!! I can't wait!! I have never been more excited for fall to come!!!
Mason has been falling out of bed at night. Poor guy. We used to have a crib mattress on the floor for him, but he went several months without falling out of bed, but he's back at it again. We'll get him one of those rail things. he usually doesn't even wake up, just keeps sleeping on the floor, or gets up and goes back to bed and doesn't remember in the morning. Tonight was a big one though. He'll remember this one. And the hardwood floors don't help, but he can't have carpeting with the dust mite allergies and ear infections.
He slipped on a dock yesterday and hit the back of his head. I always worry about brain injuries, but his little skull has been doing a good job of protecting him. That is the bad thing about my job, the "exceptions" are the "norm" in my world. Seen too many brain injuries from little things and the results of those injuries.
Well, I am hoping to fall asleep soon. Mason may have a very crabby momma tomorrow.
Might be a good day for a video!!!

FEELIN' HOT HOT HOT HOT!!!!
Well, another almost 90 degree day with humidity at who knows what levels. It has been 3 days of this and I think I am truly melting!! I am hot and miserable. I was hoping to post some camping pictures, but I do not have the patience to wait today. Tomorrow is supposed to cool down with rain, and I hope it does!!
Today Mason informed me that "When I poop momma, all my naughty thoughts come out"
Can't say I have heard that one before, but if it actually works then hooray!!
Critters are doing well. Finally took the bully grasshopper away from the frog and the frog is so much happier!! She actually hops around now and even looks like she is smiling. We put the grasshopper in with 2 others that Mason had caught, and he mated within 5 minutes!!! So we will probably have baby grasshoppers. Then, we had an ant problem because a bunch of them and their eggs had hitched a ride in a branch we put in for the grasshoppers. we took care of that last night, but that was a hoot. Grasshoppers hopping everywhere, sticking to me and Craig and the counters, ants crawling around. Who knew these little critters were so much work? :) Things should settle down now. But those grassh0ppers are SMART! I'll give them that much!!
We cleaned out our garage and got rid of a bunch of stuff on www.freecycle.org It is a wonderful website!! We just posted the items we wanted to get rid of for free and then people emailed us back about coming to get it, and then they did. In 24 hours we got rid of: large bookcase, large wooden coffee table, bag of picture frames, stroller that didn't work so well, exersaucer, dresser. And we didn't need to do a thing!!! All of this had been in our garage for 6 years in the hopes we would have a cabin. We are putting that dream on hold until the children have grown up. So, if you need to get rid of anything, check out that website. they have local ones, so you only post to people in your area.
Well, just wanted to say hi. i hope everyone else is doing well and that it isn't too hot where you are. Oh yeah, Aunt Janis...what WAS the mystery flower? I am kept up at night just dieing to know what it is!!! Please tell us so I can sleep better at night!!!

And when the Smoke cleared!!!!
Had a great time celebrating Cathy's birthday. She had to bake her own cake which was delicious. They wouldn't let me take food across the border. So here she is another year older and a whole lot wiser.
She's getting ready to blow out all her candles!!!! 1 - 2 - 3 BLOW!!!!
No trick candles. They all went out with one try.
Happy Birthday, Cathy!!!
