Busy week

Grant's birthday party is Saturday. Not only that, but the kids both have games that day. I started testing out icing cakes today since I've never made a ball cake. They turned out pretty good, but it's a lot of cake baking going on in my house this week. I am also making candy balls with Oreos in them. Hopefully they will turn out great. My only redeeming hope is that I'm making these for 2-3 year olds and they don't really care what they look like as long as they taste good.

And since I have all these things to do what could make it better than both kids being on Fall Break from school. We have a lot of things planned including visiting the pumpkin patch on Wednesday. Diana is off work too so we will get to hang out with them some.

Grant had his meeting with the school district and he will start speech 2 days a week. One of them is Friday at 7:30! Reagan has to be to school at 8:30 so I'm gonna have to get this worked out somehow. Otherwise they are during his nap time which doesn't work out too well for us. So we will see how it goes... his other speech appointment he gets to work with a little girl. That's a good thing since he loves girls so much more than boys.

Also on Friday I took Grant back to the ENT because his audiologist said one tube was blocked. Essentially he said there is fluid behind there and he can't hear out of his right ear. He's waiting to see if the tube falls out or if he gets an infection. He said if he was a betting man Grant would have another ear infection soon. And when he does he will need new tubes put in and his adenoids taken out. Enlarged adenoids can keep causing the ear infections and it may also be why Grant's mouth is always open. So he will probably have the surgery by the end of the year. :-(

On a side note Reagan has been driving us crazy lately. She has been lying about everything. She bit Grant the other day and then screamed and cried because he bit her back. What is he suppose to do? Reagan also called Grant a "butt" today. It's funny that she thinks that is such a bad thing to call him and listening to Scott tell her not to call her brother names anymore cracked me up even more. I don't know where all her attitude is coming from or what the problem is. I know that she is tired from no naps at school and soccer so maybe after the season is over... either way it is gonna have to stop or mommy will be dropping the hammer on that little one!
