A trip to the Optometrist

remember when Jaxon went to school and didn’t much like it?  Well, I’m happy to report that things are much better!  He is actually enjoying it now!  That second week of school, he was rubbing his eves every night and complaining that they hurt.  So… I made him an appointment to go see the eye dr. I told him that they would play several games with him and he would get to look through different lenses to see how things look!  He was super excited!

I was somewhat surprised to find out that he actually needed glasses.  I really think that this had something to do with how hard that second week of school was.  So, I’m really glad that I listened to him and took him in!  We picked out some really cute frames and he is doing PRETTY well with them so far, I mean, he IS a 4 year old boy!

He was so excited that night that we did a little homework:

If  you heard this come out of the mouth of a 4 year old, you’d probably be thinking “what in the world”!!  Yeah, I’ve never had actual octopus and I’m pretty sure Jaxon hasn’t either.  What he is referring to is the super cool octopus I made a few weeks ago!

Octopus noodles

Here’s what I did::

I simply skewed raw spaghetti noodles through pieces of all beef hotdogs (we had grilled them the night before).  Then I just dropped them into boiling water…  about 8 minutes later….

his dinner was served:

Cinnamon apples, cheese slices and a little octopus! Of course he ate more than one of those little guys!

He loved it and has asked me to make them several times!

Happy Thursday…..  It’s ALMOST BOOMER SOONER TIME!!!!

and old blogger follwers!  I had to change my feed, so please re-subscribe using the link at the bottom of this post of click on this icon on the main page::

icon-rss

I know there are many out there that use a reader for blogs.  I also know that there are many who have no clue what I’m talking about!  Well… if you don’t use a reader, you’re missing out.

When you click on either the link or the icon above  (on the main page) this is what you’ll get::

Picture 4 I have tried two different ones, but I prefer google reader.  A reader lets you save all the blogs, etc. that you read in one place.  When you’re ready to read, you simply go to your reader and it will show you who has updated so you do not have to waste time clicking on every link in your blogroll to see if there is a new post!  It’s genius!  ha!

So…..  Click on the link below or on the subscribe icon and choose your preferred reader (super easy to set up, if you do not have a reader account yet), and you’ll automatically get my updated posts…. plus the other 100 that you’ll subscribe to! If you use google, once you sign up go to goodies… there is a subscribe button that you can drag to your toolbar.  So then when your browsing, if you find a blog you like you just hit that button and it will show up in your reader!

I hope this was helpful to at least someone!!  Let me know if you have any questions!
