The Good, The Bad and the Yummy!

J-Man had his Allergy Testing appointment yesterday

to find out the level of severity of his food allergies.

J-Man has packed the essentials for the doctors appointment

Epipen, Dinosaurs and Fruit Snacks.

Mr. Mr. is ready too, Diapers, Wipes, Dinosaurs and Fruit Snacks

He is going to play at his friend's house while we go to the doctor

J-Man was nervous that it was going to hurt,

but we played eye spy, 20 questions and

named all the characteristics of plant eating dinosaurs

while waiting for the doctor to start the test.

The Allergy test, for Wheat, Peanuts, Tree Nuts and Fish

He was very brave and then came the

Good News: J-Man is no longer allergic to Wheat, Tree Nuts or Fish except Tuna

Bad News:  He is still severely allergic to Peanuts and 

thereby must be managed by an epipen.

All the way home J-Man was so excited that he can have fish.

He can go fishing and eat the fish he catches and

he can have telapia when Noure cooks it on Sundays.

Then J-Man asked if we could make "Melted Chicken Pizza" for dinner.

I tried to explain that chicken can't melt, but as usual he was

determined to explain how it can melt and how we will make it.

1 loaf of bread dough, defrosted, split between

the children and ready to make pizza crust.

We baked just the crust for 15 minutes

Then we added the sauce (tomato sauce, cilantro and coriander powder),

chicken chunks(Freeze Dried reconstituted) and slices of ham

Garnish with Spinach

Cheese on top of J-Man's pizza

Hot and Ready to Eat

Did the chicken melt?  Yes, in our mouths and it tasted pretty good.

Mr. Mr. mostly just ate the spinach salad on his plate

On Monday we will meet with the Principle at the elementary school 

to see how J-Man can manage his allergies in the classroom. 

I hope it will be possible, but if not we will enroll him in an online charter school.

So we end with The Good, The Bad and The Yummy!

Spring Cleaning Continues!

Can sanitizing the toys in my home improve my health?

I hope so!

I have been sick, off and on since January and I wish to be well. 

So I took action and decided to sanitize all of the toys in the house.

This is no small feat, we have an entire linen closet

dedicated to toys and games

.

It took me four hours of sanitizing and organizing

I feel heathier already.

Happenings in February

Besides Valentines Day and I-Man's Birthday Party we were sick for the majority of the month of February.  However I did manage a few pictures in between.

This is how we spent most of the month, in the doctor's office or at home sick.

J-Man may look happy but he has an ear infection like the rest of us.

What do you do with little kids during soccer practice on a cold night?

Go to the indoor playground at the mall.

They can run around and play

and be goofy

for an hour and a half

and no one complains that they are cold.

Genius!
