Dare Devil vs Chicken

We have the Dare Devil vs. The Chicken in our household. Can you guess who is who...

We took the kids to Kings Island with the Korns Family on Sunday. Since they have season passes and could get us in really cheap we went. The kids had a blast. They rode most of the kiddy rides. Scarlett wasn't big enough for all of them but she went on a lot.
Evan is a big ol Chicken. He reminds me so much of Tommy before he gets on an airplane. Evan got this shear look of panic his face showed all the fear. Scarlett on the other hand is a Dare Devil. We are really going to have to keep a close eye on her. She is up for anything. The faster the better. Tommy to Evan on "the moster" formally known as "the octipus" he was very scared. He had his face hidden in Tommy's armpit the entire time. Scarlett wanted to go and waited for Tommy to get done with Evan to take her. Nope he wouldn't he said it was to much for her. Truth be told Tommy couldn't handle to do it again. So Scarlett waited for Jon to take her. (This was his 3 round on it and he was looking a little green) She went on it and loved it. She is going to be the faster the better kind of girl.
Other than having to sell some of our organs to afford the day we had a great time. The weather was great. It was hot but not misserable. We left Paisley with my mom due to she would have been mireable. The kids have been begging to go back. We shall have to wait.

Talking with God.

Have you ever had those days that you feel as is you are caring so many burdens that you just can't breathe. This is what has been going on here. I have been praying for guidance, wisdom, understanding and a heart to forgive. It is truely amazing how God works.
I was out the other day thinking about what was going on in my life. God and I were talking and I was telling him I don't understand why things were going on, and just then I looked at this church sign. (which I always do I love to read their quotes) This is what the sign said.

"Quit telling God how big your mountain is, and start telling the mountain how BIG your GOD is!"

It is truely amazing. How when you need something the most God is there telling you the answer and how to deal.

Poor Daddy

Scarlett was sitting in the living room a little while ago and she goes "You didn't get rid. of Daddy" I was like what are you talking about. She goes Daddy is still here. I go " Of course Daddy is here. Did you want him to go somewhere?" She says nothing. Then Evan chimes in. "Daddy can't go anywhere." I go "Why" he goes "because I have to have someone finish my games"
Well Daddy looks like you know where your place is. You have to stay so you can finish Evan's games. LOL...I guess we will keep you around..

Just another Sunday.

It is just another Sunday here at the Mann house.
We spent the day putting up the pool..Which still isn't filled yet. Plus it is cold as ice. The kids are a little ticked that they can't go swimming but I don't think hypothermia is a good idea.
We picked up the house as we always do. With 3 kids there is always a mess. Did some shopping. I just couldn't pass up the whole Kmart super double coupons. Daddy and Evan did some gaming. Or better yet Evan cheated.
The kids and Tommy also did some 4-Wheeling. Tommy took Paisley for a ride also. She seamed to like it but I don't know if her tummy did to well. She ended up Yacking on Tommy's arm.
Also Evan is healing great. He has had a few bad moments but over all he is doing great. His worst time is thru the night and right when he wakes up. He is healing great. He has discovered that he can eat sweet potatoes and that is all he wants to eat. If we aren't careful he will look like he did when he was little all orange.

Day 3

Evan is such a champ. I am so proud of how he is handling himself. He is starting to have a little more pain. He couldn't eat his dinner because it hurt to bad. He also cried when he had to take his medication because it hurt. I know it will get worse before it gets better. But he is doing so well. I know it hurts so bad but you would never know with how he is acting. He is such a big boy. A friend of his from school sent him a get well soon card with a ton of stickers he was pretty excited to get mail. After Evan got that he was thoughtful enough to make a card for Bepaw. My little boy has such a big heart.

day 2 of Evan's recovery

Evan is on day 2...He is doing great. He is eating well and playing. I thought that he would be crying and throwing a fit but he isn't. His only complaint has been he doesn't like the way the meds taste. But I figured out a way around that. I give him 2 cards every time he takes his meds. He seams to be happy with that. I know that the bad will hit but right now I sure am enjoying the calm before the storm...

Evan's surgery

Evan had his surgery for his tonsils and adenoids today. He did great. The doctor said that they were huge and looked like cottage cheese due to some kind of chronic infection. He said that is probably why he always has such bad breathe. Evan has been a real champ today. He hasn't complained of much pain. He wanted burger king chicken nuggets and fries for dinner and that is what he ate. I knew from history with Scarlett let them eat whatever they want on the first day because they will not be eating for several days. He is finally asleep. Here is hoping he does well with recovery.
