Brennen in stitches- round 2.


Brennen just learned to ride his bike a few days ago, and last night her fell off and cut his head.
He ended up needing 4 stitches this time. When he walked in the door with dad after he fell, I almost had a heart attack. His WHOLE face was cover in blood! The ER Doc said it looked like he cut an artery. He got right back on his bike as soon as he got home from the ER!
About a year and a half ago he got stitches in his chin when he fell on the playground at school.

Greenbeans-
Looking pretty good, but it looks like some kind of bug has been munching on the leaves.






Big Boy Tomato-
Very leafy, but not a lot of tomatoes.



Early Girl Tomato-
Can't complain about this one at all! Very fruitful and growing like a weed.





Patio Princess tomato-

This little princess is doing great!



Zucchini-

Believe it or not I'm having zucchini problems. It looks like there are a bunch of them getting ready to grow, but the leaves look HORRIBLE. I have no idea what the problem is. Should I cut the bad leaves off?






Cucumber-
These are growing nicely but also have really bad looking leaves. What to do???

Makenna gave herself a haircut




It was just starting to get thick and long too. Now it's all thin and choppy! =(
Good thing mommy makes clippies because I'm not chopping it off.

Brennen Brag!

I just talked to Brennen's teacher on the phone. She was telling me how they've been doing DRA reading tests this week. Brennen scored a 32, (Which she said is the highest score you can get in 1st grade.) and he got the highest score in the class! So according to this chart he's at a mid-3rd grade level. Go Brenny Bear!!!

Typical Connor

Every so often I remind the boys that they can talk to me about anything and I ask them if they have any questions. So this morning Connor says "Actually I do have a question..... Why is Venus the hottest planet if Mercury is the closest to the sun?" LOL!!! I have no clue about any of that so I told him I'd have to do some research. Then I told him I love his brain and he said "Yeah because I'm left handed, and left handed people are smarter." =D
