Thanks to everyone who guessed which dress Megan chose over on Facebook! There was only ONE person who actually guessed the one she chose (4th dress on the bottom row). Here is one of my fave pics from the night... her and her best friend, Heather!
I attended Sherri's parent's 20th anniversary party yesterday in the role of photographer, but did manage to get one quick pic that included myself with 2 of my buds- Sherri & Steph!
I am so excited to share that I learned something new today! Since graduating last month, I havent done a whole heck of a lot of learning and I miss it. I started researching "Favicons" and created one for my website. I even mastered adding it to most pages (blog not included since I am a Blogger user). Wahoo!
So, Dane missed two days of school this week and is still hacking up a lung! I am hoping and praying that it isn't whooping cough, which is going around school! I asked him to take some medication for his cough, but he still hasnt mastered swallowing pills. UGH!
Him: I have to wait for a good commercial.
Me: Why?
Him: So I will be distracted!
I just laughed... until he still couldnt actually get it down. I diced pickles into small pieces and had him try with that. Still a no-go but he enjoyed the pickles and decided to try a pickle-pill-pickle combination to CHEW it up. He promptly covered the sink in vomit. Diced pickles is how I learned. Anyone got any other ideas on how to teach a child to swallow a pill?
Oh, and a quick shout out to Doug who came to rescue us by fixing Scott's truck that crapped out on Friday... another dang alternator! We just replaced the last one 3 years ago! Grrrrr! Anyway, thanks for helping us out, Doug! :)

we learned swallowing pills by using a straw. you place the pill on the back of your tongue, then gulp up your choice of liquid through the straw. the pill disappears... worked like a charm for me and my 5 siblings.. and when my kids have a hard time we use this method as well.. good luck and hope he starts to feeling better soon! -J
