Easter, Earth day and the rest of Apri

We are dogsitting Rusy again and Spencer couldn't be happier. Spencer had a great time at Easter this year. On Saturday we went to the primary easter egg hunt. The leaders limited the number of eggs each child could find so once the older kids found their limit, they helped Spencer find some eggs.
On Sunday we went to Frank and Elaine's (Jared's Parents) for dinner and another Easter egg hunt. Jared's brother, Todd, and his family were also there. It was a fun night.

This Easter Spencer discovered that Easter eggs contain candy and choclate. He loves both of those and the first thing he did in the morning was go straight for his easter basket. He was so excited with the choclate eggs that he didn't bother unwrapping them before he took a big bite. He bit me really hard trying to get the foil out of his mouth. It was a lot of fun watching Spencer enjoy easter.



This year Jared had a booth at our local Earth Day Celebration. Him and his nephew, Conner, stayed all day giving out coupons. Hopefully we will get some business from the event.




While Jared and Conner were working the booth, Spencer and I enjoyed the rest of the fair. It was a neat event with a small planetarium, Ronald McDonald, an African music playing band, and a petting zoo. The petting zoo was Spencer's favorite part. I had a hard time keeping up with him, he was so excited to pet the animals.

Cake and Chiropractor

A few days ago Spencer did the cutest thing. He found a box of cake mix. The box had a picture of a piece of cake on it. This very smart little boy brought the box to me and was trying to open it. I opened it to let him see what was inside and he was very confused. He looked at the bag of cake mix and then looked in the box and back at the picture on the box. He repeated this a few times and even stuck his hand in the box to make sure there was nothing else in there. I realized he thought there was a piece of cake in the box. It was adorable.

The last couple days Spencer hasn't been feeling well. He is cranky and has been pulling at his ears. My chiropractor had mentioned chiropractic care can help ear infections. When I realized Spencer was running a fever today I decided to try the chiropractor. Spencer went in for his first chiropractic adjustment today. He did very well. The Doctor also used one of those ear looking in things to look in his ears. His ears were red and irritated. She then recommended some vitamins and ear drops to help him. On the way home we stopped at the store to get the stuff. The lady at the store gave Spencer a sample of a child's chewable vitamin. He choked on it and then threw up all over both us. It was not a fun trip to the store and we didn't buy the vitamins. The ear drops seemed to help him but he threw up again after we got home. I hope he will feel better tomorrow. I am interested to see if this chiropractic thing really helps him or not.
