Hello Monday!

Hell to a busy, yet crazy weekend. So many stories from this weekend, there’s not enough time.

Hello to Bubblefest at The Discovery Science Center. We got a sneak preview last Friday night. It was amazing!

We got a sneak preview of #Bubblefest @DiscoveryCube tonight. All the kids had a blast.
Hello to an early Saturday morning with Sharon. We headed off to Knott’s Berry Farm for a behind-the-scenes photo walk before they opened.

Hello to GhostRider Coaster at Knott’s Berry Farm.  The older I get, the scarier roller coasters look.

Love how the Ghost Rider coaster looks so eclectic and worn @Knotts. #knottsphotos

Hello to the bakery inside Knott’s Berry Farm and their famous boysenberry pies being assembled.

Hello to Roscoe’s House of Chicken’ n Waffles with the girls.

Hello to a long 2-hour wait to get a table.

Roscoe's Chicken and WafflesHello to an unexpected febrile seizure at almost one in the morning on Sunday.

It has been three years since Angry Kid had a febrile seizure. We thought that he had outgrown them.

Angry Kid had a 102 degree temperature. After checking him out, some Tylenol and Motrin, we were released from the hospital a few hours later.

Sigh....the kid had a seizure tonight. In the ER tonight. Most likely a febrile seizure. It has been almost three years since the last one. Not a good way to end the night.

Hello to Angry Kid still sick, and possibly me too.

Hello to a day of doctor’s appointments and cleaning.

Hello to no work.

Hopefully Angry Kid will feel better soon.

Hello Monday and one week till Spring Break.

I’m linking up with Lisa Leonard and her Hello Monday Series.

Here is a review of my past week via my iPhone.

While I was out dining and watching The Hunger Games with my friends, Angry Husband sent me this picture and titled it “Redneck Kid is Born.” Notice his new hat from Turner’s Outdoorsman. Snazzy!

Angry Kid and his BFF. Life-long friends. A nice sunny day.
Last Saturday we went to lunch with my BFF, Stacey and her daughter, Stella. Yes, my son has a sleeveless shirt on with a temporary tattoo from McDonald’s. We are classy like that. That tattoo needs to go. It has been on his arm for like three weeks!  Just a little observation, but this photo is totally Peeta and Katniss if you are a Hunger Games fan.

A little Easter Egg garland on the mirror. I just found the plastic eggs that I bought on clearance last year. I need some ribbons to complete it.
I did a little Easter decorating by stringing some plastic eggs on fishing line. I’m going to add some ribbon eventually. I usually do some kind of bunting banners to display for the Holidays but I got a little distracted in the past month and forgot to buy the fabric.

He is too involved in his game to realize that the groceries are piled on top of him.
This is how we grocery shop. His only complaint, “the French toast sticks were cold on his feet.” I told him to move the box.

Lunch: @ChipotleTweets, and a little Suzanne Collins.
Lunch during my work week at Chipotle. I’m reading Book Five of the Gregor The Underland Chronicles series from Suzanne Collins.  I’m almost done. I’m going to have Angry Kid read these books this summer. He will love them.

The Four Stages of Homework. This is painful tonight.
And last night, The Four Stages of Homework. Does this look familiar to anyone else? Seriously, once he started writing in his journal he was fine. But motivating him was exhausting.

Celebrating Stella’s 7th at Sky High Sports

March 27, 2012

My best friend’s daughter, Stella, and my son are two months apart in age. On the 16th of March, Stella turned seven. Angry Kid turns seven in May. This year Stacey held Stella’s birthday party at Sky High Sports in Costa Mesa.  Because Stella’s party was held on a Saturday, Stacey rented a private room. It was one of the best decisions that Stacey made in regards to the party.  The day of Stella’s party was a VERY rainy and stormy day.  It seemed like everyone in Orange was looking for something to do, so they headed to Sky High Sports.

Sky High Sports is a trampoline fun center.  You can bounce forward, backward, or even do flips on the 360 degree walled trampolines.  They even have balls available for a little trampoline dodge ball game.  It was super fun to watch the kids bounce around on the trampolines.  Angry Kid had never been to a place like this and he had a blast.

We were supposed to go there during Christmas Break for their open play time, but unfortunately Angry Kid was sick.  They have several open play times during the week where you can pay a flat fee for an hour plus of jump time.

I utilized my iPhone during the party to take a bit of video of Angry Kid. I spliced several different videos into one, so don’t be hatin’ on my craptastic video skills.  After you see this video, you will understand why the kids were all so tired. Obviously my kid is the one wearing the green shirt and jeans. It was St. Patrick’s Day after all.

After some food and jumping, it was time for cake, well cupcakes.  Stacey purchased the lovely cupcakes from Kristin of Meringue Bake Shop, a local favorite.  I was able to get some pictures of Stella before and after she blew out the candle. I’m trying to make-up for my son’s birthday last year, when I didn’t get pictures of him blowing out the candle.

Stacey consulted with me on options, and I think Stella really liked her gift. Stacey had me order Stella a Spirograph. I hope that I’m not dating myself, because I loved mine as a kid. I could do those circles for hours and hours. I remember received one as a Christmas present.  I’m pretty sure that Angry Kid would want one of these if he had actually seen what it does.  Stacey and Stella came over on Saturday and we all went out to lunch together.
