Surviving April

To say the least this has been a month for the Sandlin's. We started off with Brylie having strep. Then it moved to Lawson then Brylie having the flu. After that ended I decided I needed attention so I got the stomach bug and then a sinus infection. The sinus infection got so bad I could not eat. I finally took myself to the doctor for meds and a shot. We were all well and off antibiotic then last night happen. I went to pick up Brylie from school we were home maybe 10 mins. The kids were playing and I went to the bathroom. I hear a horrible cry. You know the one that you can tell that someone is really hurt. I run out to see both kids crying. I did a quick check and everyone seemed fine. I could tell by Lawson's cry he was hurt worst. I picked him up to find blood pouring out of his head. He and Brylie were playing with a spider man umbrella and some how he fell and hit his head on the fireplace. We rush to the ER only to wait for 2 hours before they stitched him up. They did wrap his head while we waited. He so looked like a WWII victim. He did very well and so did I. I was so scared I would be crying right beside him as he got 2 staples. We did so good and didn't cry much. They finally got us back and numb the spot and then did the staples. He really just lost his breath and cried a little until he heard that he would be getting a Popsicle. Then it was all worth it and he was so very happy. Ok so we only have a few more days of April to survive. So hopefully we can do it and just get by with out any major sickness or emergency.


Lawson waiting for his staples. Don't think he knows what he is waiting for, or he would not be smiling.






Waiting for the meds to numb his head. Apparently it made him do this gangster pose?




Law's staples




Priceless

Not your usual Easter sunday meal?

After church we had several friends and the in-laws over for a crawlfish boil. It was tons of fun. I think this might just be a start of something. We did it all outside and the kids played and played and had tons of fun with the live crawfish. Here are some pictures of everyone enjoying their day.

Easter Sunday ...pictures of the Sandfam

Here we are Easter Sunday all dressed up. Lawson was in a mood because he did NOT like that he had to wear pink. He kept telling me, " I not wear PINK, I not a gul (girl). This mood followed him all day until the egg hunt at church that afternoon. Some of these pictures Brylie took. They are not so bad for a 6 year.
