Black eye, Fundraiser Prize, and Easter Egg Dyeing


Like I said in the last post, I will update with day by day photos of Jamie's wonderful black eye. He woke up this morning and was excited that he could sleep on his black eye side "softly" and it didn't hurt. He's had no pain, but it was definitely puffy this morning around the eye, but not as swollen and is turning a nice shade of blue. All in all it looked much better than I thought it would. And of course now he's looking at it as a cool 'shiner' and likes to say what daddy taught him "You should see the other guy". He's especially looking forward to when it turns greenish, so he can be like The Hulk.

Next up is a video of Jamie in the money machine at school. He got second place in his fundraiser-thanks to everyone who got something! He had 30 seconds in the money machine and he got $29 plus a free candy bar from the school store (which of course, he was the most excited about at the time-he got a Milky Way today). With his winnings, he wanted to save half and spend half on a Ben 10: Alien Force Omnitrix (looks like a watch). He's wanted this for about four months now so we got one at WalMart for $11. He's very excited and he still had a few dollars leftover for his wallet.

Lastly, we dyed easter eggs tonight since James goes on nights tomorrow. Jamie was pretty excited-we had a Transformer themed egg kit I got last year on clearance. Note to all moms--the dudley dye brand color red does not hold up after a year. All the other colors were fine, but the red wouldn't break down to make a nice red-just ended up using the other four colors. Anyhow, back to the egg dyeing. Jamie was having such a good time that he left James with one (yes, just one) egg to color. So James made a Black Eye egg that was blue and green--wonderful!

You can't really see it, but the egg does say Jamie on it.

So enjoy the photos and video--I'm sure I'll update soon. It will be an interesting week--Spring Break. I haven't had Jamie home for a week in awhile now, so it's like a new adventure again! I'm sure we'll do tons of puzzles (I think he has about 8-100 pc. and 2-300 pc. ones now)

Have a Happy Easter and take care.

We enjoyed the video. Glad that he did so well! Did you have to pay for him to go in that money booth? Seems like a fun thing for a kid! Heck, I'd love to go in one!

ps. I commented on your previous entry too!
