Life

I watched the trailer of sister keeper on Amazon and boy, that seems a tough movie ... I made the mistake to watch it with Emma next to me ... Big mistake : she asked : why are you crying mommy? Oh it's nothing Emma: your brother got leukemia and your baby brother stem's cells from his umbellical cord are stored in a blood bank just in case ... ( disclaimer: Steb is an happy accident which means we didn't plan on getting pregnant during Pierre's illness but it did happen ) I'd love to be able to see that movie because it's a very interesting topic but I will be able to watch it only if there is a happy ending ... Is there a happy ending? But even though it will be fine at the end, would I be strong enough to watch it without sobbing during the whole movie?

You remember my knee problem? Well, the doctor gave me an anti inflammatory medecine for the back of my knee that messed my stomach so I had to stop the medecine that was helping the pain behind my knee and now I had to get a medecine to heal my stomach ... I guess I now have to check which natural remedy I could take to help ... Do you know any?

I also took Emma to the doctor because the poor girl has a knee that cracks like an old chair ! We already went to the doc for the same reason and he had said, it will stop but it didn't and sometimes it hurts. She will have to have an X ray to see what's going on. A 9 years with a cracking knee is very weird ...

Chuy was expecting a package from one of his brother: it took two weeks to arrive ... (it's an important detail )

Oh a cereal box!

Nooo, I'm kidding. Look, there is a plastic bag inside : fresh (after 2 weeks?) chili peppers !!!

But what is under the bag? A tee shirt for a Texas deprived man ...

And some goodies for the kids:

But wait: who's missing? Who didn't get anything? Any idea? I'll say it's always the same person ...

Today, I went to spend the money that we patiently saved money for: the Wii ! We could have gotten it a long time ago but we chose to teach the kids patience. We decided to make them appreciate the gift, to show them that we don't always get what we want: sometimes we have to wait, sometimes we have to save money and sometimes we can't get what we want. If you are curious and want to see what we got for the whole family and what we got Emma, it's here !!! For obvious reasons (like a curious 9 yo) I couldn't add direct pictures to this post !!! She's going to be so excited by that gift !!! Oh! Our playing little device is in an unusual color ...

But maybe all you wanted to see was my stitching? Too late I know, it's always at the end of my post !!! I'm so predictible !!! I finished my three bird houses and now have started the frame: one bird is done.

See the detail:

Enjoy , it's friday !!! Have a great week end !!!
