a day at the rodeo...

no not the real rodeo...the rodeo that is my life!

I was planning to share some photos of another gorgeous soon to be senior, but it will have to be tomorrow.

Yesterday didn't quite go as planned when my child woke up not feeling so hot AGAIN, and ended up with his asthma acting up in a pretty bad way. He was pretty tight and wheezy and coughing his head off and the usual bag of tricks wasn't quite working. So we were able to speak with the doctor and start a course of steroids to help him out. The good news is that he is much better. The bad news is that the 'roid rage hyperactivity is a wild ride.

Not that this requires steroids, this rodeo is pretty standard around here. Todd and Pearl run and chase each other on a daily basis, but today I finally grabbed the camera.

It usually starts with Todd teasing her with one of her toys. This toy is a favorite...it is the "ex boyfriend" and she kicks his ass on a regular basis.

From there it is just a blurry circle of boy and dog running from one end of the room to the other, jumping on and off of the chair, giggling, yapping and otherwise having a great time.

Ears fly...

boys fly....

and even dogs fly....

and though it is probably totally inappropriate for a blurry circle of boy and dog to jump on and off of furniture, it is pretty funny...and a good kind of crazy in a world with way too much bad crazy to go around.

Pretty girl pictures tomorrow...stay tuned Shannon!

delightful! I had an only boy. As much as I sometimes wanted to say *STOP*, most of the time I would watch and smile and enjoy the enthusiasm for a bit first. Being a good mom is about knowing how long to let it go on before you need to stop it to keep someoen from getting hurt! Wish I had some of these crazy pics of my boy.

Oh I'm sorry he was so sick yesterday...and here I am begging for pics. to meet my needs!LOL!I was looking at Todd and Pearl and laughing inside...thinking of my husband having high blood pressure over that. His best line of"I don't know what your mother lets you do when I'm not home but I say NO" LOL!I wish I had taken pictures of Tay Cade and Carly on Thursday when she stayed the night and they went on the roof of the garage and covered themselves in TAR! I was cleaning them with paint thinner so fast before dad got home!!LOL!!!! I need to remember to take that shot! I guess that is why I'm NOT you!!!!!
