Man Vs Machine II

The Defendant The Victim This is the case of Television Vs. Cassidy
It was a quiet night, the kids were playing and Elann went to check on dinner when a thump was heard. There was silence it was so quiet you could have heard a _____ ______. then the blood curdling cry was heard. we rushed upstairs to find Cassidy brutally attacked by the television. The television gave up without a fight and we rushed Cassidy to the Emergency room. The doctors did an examination and then a CT Scan to check for any brain trauma. The Doctor came in and said " She has a Cephalohemtoma", Oh no we cried what can we do, "Leave it alone and it will go away". So we checked her out and went home.
Definition of Cephalohematoma: there is some blood buildup between the scalp and the skull, this bleeding causes a lump (goose egg).
Feel free to fill in the blank with your own analogy

It's Alive

Elann was teasing Cassie with a penny today and to my amazment Cassie started walking to get the penny. Apparently she did this earlier and I didn't know. Here is some short video of her walking.

Since Becky is the only Morbid person I will send the horror story of my toes by e-mail.

Man vs. Machine

I was moving a Washing Machine today at work. Now when you hear washing machine most people think of your standard top load washing machine. This was a Front Load High End machine that weighs 281 Lbs (Pictured Below). Unfortunately in a fight the washing machine will always win. It landed on my big toe and here was the results. (Not a pretty sight beware). It also didn't feel very good. But I learned a very valuable lesson, Never leave your feet in the way of a 281lb machine.


If your so morbidly curious as to what happened to the other toes to make them look like that post a message and maybe I'll tell the story.

Daddy Daughter Date

Cenna and Ariana Seem to get the short end of the stick when it comes to doing things with Mom and Dad. Usually because they aren't old enough to do the things Alex and Ben want to do. So today I took Cenna and Ariana on a Daddy Daughter date. We went to the Build-a-Bear workshop where Ariana built a koala bear and Cenna built a High School Musical bear, they had the time of their life picking out the clothes and giving the bears a bath under the fluffing machine. We also went to lunch there in the mall at Sabbaro's Pizza.
It was then off the the games where they rode a couple of kiddie games one is a simulated roller coaster. They enjoyed jumping up and hitting the red light on to of the ride whenever Dad wasn't looking.
