Anyway. I'll just catch up on a few things a day. That's my plan. Don't expect too much. Remember, I am the "worlds worst blogger"!
First, the event of Jaxson falling out of the pickup. I would have blogged about this when it happened 3 or 4 weeks ago, but Madi felt horrible, and I didn't want to make it worse. Cory and I were going out to dinner with his sister and her husband to a new place...The Hardhat Cafe. I wish I could tell you if it was any good or not, because we didn't actually get to eat dinner. As we were walking in, Madi called to tell us Jaxson fell out of the back of Cory's truck, and hit his head. Calm nurse and frantic mommy had a fight. Frantic mommy won, and we went home to this...
Which eventually turned to this...
Poor kid. After interviewing several eyewitnesses (under the age of 10) this is what I think happened. Madi thought it would be a good idea for the truck to double as a play pen. Jaxson was in the truck holding onto the tailgate. Cousin Bailey wanted to get in the back of the truck. Bailey climbed up on the bumper of the truck, using the tailgate latch to help pull her up. She inadvertently opened the tailgate. Jaxson kept holding on, until he couldn't, and landed on his face. He had some pretty nasty road rash, but is completely healed. He even has a sweet tough-man scar that I'm sure will result is a frustrating cowlic (really don't know how to spell that) when he's older. I think I did more comforting to Madi, though. Poor thing. She felt so bad, and cried off and on all evening. But, she learned the lesson the hard way. Trucks should never double as a playpen.
Next up, I have to share my attempt at imitating Bakerella. You've heard of her and her famous cake pops, right? She also makes cupcake pops. They are so stinking cute, and so yummy. Bakerella is much, much, much better at this that I am. And of the few I attempted to make last night, only 6 actually stayed on the sticks. Apparently, I don't follow directions well. Anyway, here is Bakerella's cupcake pop...
and here's mine...
What do you think? They are pretty tasty. I'm gonna take these to a couple of friends who have b-days today. Hope they like 'em.
So there is a brief glimpse of a few things that have happened in the past few weeks. Hope you have a fabulous day!!
