Visitors

Kaden is growing up so fast.  And it is torture to his Grandma and Papa Wells not to see him everyday.  So they made the long journey (7 1/2 hours since they were pulling a trailer) to come visit Kaden.  (Jeremy and I know they are not here to see us!)  :)  Emma got to come with them on this trip also.  We had a wonderful time.  Next time it is our turn to go see them.  I guess we will see how Kaden does in the car when it is a LONG trip.

Papa discovered a new 'toy'.  He took a flashlight that has one of those red laser lights, then he shone it on his hand.  Kaden was mesmerized!

Grandma getting her Kaden fix.  While Emma hovers... hoping she will get him next, and soon!

Something special about Papa fingers...  Kaden likes to gnaw on both of his Papas.  As you can see in this picture, Papa is hating it too!  :)

Yay!  Emma gets her turn!  This was before the 'fish oil' incident.

So I have quite the fun little tale to tell you.  Jeremy and Emma decided to do a little science experiment Sunday night.  Jeremy gathered up all of his vitamins that had spilled out of bottles that he wouldn't use, then they put them in a glass of vinegar to see how long it takes them to be absorbed.  Well 10 minutes go by and none of the capsules have popped open... a few more minutes go by... maybe one has dissolved.  So Jeremy decides to pop one of them.  Emma then took over.  She was quite enthralled with this little experiment until she was done and realized that the fish oil pills had exploded on her clothes and in her hair.  Who wants to go to bed smelling like fish?  Yuck!  So she borrowed a shirt from me and washed her hair...  it didn't help.  So she washed it again... still stinks.  My turn to step in, we sent Grandma and Papa back to their trailer to go to bed (They were just waiting for Emma) and I had Emma put shampoo in and wrap her hair in a towel for awhile to let it soak.  It still smelled like fish.  Then we brought in the big guns... the Internet!  I did a little bit of searching and found a couple of methods, baking soda and lemon juice.  Well since it was late and everyone wanted to go to bed we did both!  I dumped baking soda on her head in the kitchen and rubbed it in, then went to the bathroom and dumped lemon juice in her hair.  Have you ever made a volcano with baking soda and vinegar?  Lemon juice works too!  Her head started foaming and fizzing!  But after she shampooed and conditioned it one last time, she was free from the fish smell.  Hooray!  Next time I will know what to do the first time!

This little 'Chicks Dig Me' shirt came from Kaden's 3 'chick' cousins.  So 'he' decided to show it off for Emma.
