Ninja is still playing basketball year round and still loves it. His current team is undefeated this season and has one more game to play.
31 weeks pregnant and I got the itch for some change. Antonio had been asking me for years to go red, but I've always been too scared. I figured its time to just go for it.
Before
After:
I was having a horrible, no good very bad day. First, I was extremely uncomfortable being pregnant. Second, Rocket was being a pill. His redeeming act was putting himself down for a nap (the kid hasn't napped in almost 2 years and should have been my first clue that he was sick).
Then, I dropped the lid of my favorite crock pot and it shattered all over my kitchen.
I burst into tears.
Later that night I could tell that Rocket wasn't feeling well. He was really wheezy and congested. As he was sleeping he was really struggling to breathe and had a lot of stridor. At 11pm, I finally decided to take him to the ER. His breathing was concerning me and I knew he needed some steroids to open up his airway. That led to us spending the next 7 hours at the hospital.
Thankfully he recovered from this bout of croup quickly and was back to his happy self in just a few days.
Gambit went ahead and decided to have another birthday and turned seven years old! We spent the afternoon playing arcade games and bowling and having a great time. He is still my clown, always making people laugh. He's still a cuddler and loves to snuggle up. Such a great kid!

First day of third grade for Ninja!
Here's how a recent Thursday afternoon went.
Athena called me and said that a few more tickets to the Taylor Swift concert the next day were just released. Should we go? I responded, that would be super awesome! She calls back a few minutes later....GOT THREE TICKETS FOR ME, YOU, AND MOUSE!!
Much screaming and excitement ensued. Yes, I realize we were acting like prepubescent little girls.
So the next evening we went to an AWSOME Taylor Swift concert. We had soooo much fun acting young and carefree :-) As we were walking in a really nice lady and her daughter gave Mouse their VIP bag. It was filled with lots of goodies and awesome Taylor paraphernalia.
