Accident

I don't suppose I can talk about a tea party (I don't even know if anyone reads this) and not tell the story of the accident or as Steve calls it "Edward Scissor Hands." I will never live it down.
Last night after a VERY stressful day at work (the state is here) I was cooking dinner. I had pulled the pork out of the oven and put it on a plate to cut. So I had the knife in one hand and I pulled the meat thermometer out (you know we will all die if we eat pork that is undercooked!!!) with my bare hand. Stupid I know... well the story is this: I touched the meat thermometer and before my brain registered I pulled my hand back, let go of the knife and heard a blood curdling scream. The kids were both at the table thankfully, so I look at Steve and there he is shaking blood all over the kitchen, ( I do mean all over!!!) When I let go of the thermomter I let go of the knife too... It just happened to land in steve's hand. Good thing I am a nurse:) He got faint... there was a lot of blood, I raced him to the sink, put it under running water, slapped some paper towels on it and ran to the phone to call my dad. In the mean time I started to clean up some of the blood and Steve was like... Hello what about my hand... so I went back to the injured and put some gauze and a bandaid on it and my dad arrived and off to the emergency room we went. Thankfully in the hall at the ED was the orthopedic surgeon I know Dr Baker. He looked at it and said it was just cut, no tendons or nerves or anything so we walked away with just a couple of stitches... I will never live this down.... Steve has gone 38 years and never a stitch...now he is scarred (literally) for life.
The only funny part of this SAGA were Kamryn and Seth. They were all strapped in at the table and as I was rushing around the kitchen like MAD Kam said "do you think I could have some dinner and dad could have a bandaid?" Then I looked at Seth and he had about 4 pieces of bread crammed in his mouth...
Never a dull moment. I do thank God though that my babies were not in the kitchen. As upset as I was about hurting Steve I would be devastated if it had hurt my babies.

Anyway, Lesson 1: Don't come near the kitchen when I had a bad day at work and am weilding a knife.

I don't have any pictures for this one either but you are probably glad about that:)

Tea Party

Kamryn and Mommy had our first tea party and I don't even have any pictures. I know that is a crime. You can imagine though. Kam was dressed as Cinderella and we were at the table. Mommy had a crown and we were drinking "tea" (water) and eating carrot sticks:)
Kamryn had a lot of fun and NO miserable moments. It was so much fun. She had her little legs crossed and she would try and stick out her pinky to drink. There was "tea" everywhere. I loved it.

Motor City Meets Pagliarolis

The Men>>> (&kam) The Women>>> (& Seth and Robbie)



We had a fun trip "making memories" with the Pagliaroli's. We visited the Henry Ford museum, and Greenfield village. Very interesting (especially for Dad P and Uncle Jimmy) We did ride in a model T so that was neat.
Kamryn wanted to drive. Kam and Seth were great travellers!
