We had a list of things to accomplish today: clean and vacuum the car including the trunk, vacuum all floors in the house and sweep and mop the kitchen, hang another shelf in the laundry closet.

We have gotten all this done. Well jj is currently working on hanging the shelf, which I am sure that the trying to sleep gentry appreciates. I am grateful to him though for getting it done, we have needed another shelf here for quite sometime.

When he gets done I am going to head downstairs to make caramels. The Martha Stewart version. I will let you know how they turn out and if I like them. In true Martha fashion, the recipe is very painstaking. You have to stir the stuff for an hour and then let it sit in a pan for 24 hours. So about this time tomorrow we may be enjoying the fruits of our labor.

Also, here is a cute picture of Gentry. Don’t you want to kiss those little swollen lips. I gave him a cookie with nuts in it the day before and you can see what it did to him. Nothing that would kill him, but obviously he should not be having them. And yet I keep trying, hoping that this time he will be over this allergy. The band aid is because he bumped his head and of course a band aid, or as he calls them “bangers,” always make him feel better. Especially one this cool.

Also, his hair is done. He does not look cute with the good boy hairdo. He never has. Maybe it is the wonky way that it grows or that there is not a huge amount of it, but it just looks better messy. We really do style it. He goes and gets the brush and gel and hairspray. I am a dork, two products in a two year olds hair. But it is cute.
