The scare for this week...

So on Tuesday last week I was in the kitchen making cookies for my visiting teaching ladies and Dustin had just left for work, Orion was playing around as usual and all was well... all of the sudden he started to cry so hurried to see what the matter was and found him with a wood stain can opened and all over him and the floor. This was a little tiny 8 oz can of black ebony stain, he had found it and opened it (if anyone has used stain recently you know how hard those cans are to open) I normally have to use a screwdriver to open it. Anyway, it was all over the lower half of his body, luckily I caught him just as he was pouring it... but he cried because of the black color that was all over new mickey pjs. It was nuts, this stuff is oil base and spreads like wildfire, so I ran him up to the bath (where it just got all over our tub and repelled the water) and started to scrub him down... I was worried about what it would do to his skin so I called poison control and they said it was fine as long as I could get it off his skin for the most part. I finally thought to use dish soap and that did the trick but he was pretty upset that the black wouldn't come off while I was cleaning him off - he kept trying to scratch it off. It was so sad. After he was taken care of I went to start cleaning up the kitchen floor, luckily we haven't replaced this flooring just yet so it is still a little black but it doesn't matter too much.
Here he is sitting recouping on the couch after his bath, watching the Doodlebops and resting.

Here are his little cute black feet across our kitchen floor lol... I should have had him step on a piece of paper or something lol.
here is a fuzzy pic again of his feet to the upper rt hand side is where I had a pool of black stain I cleaned it up before I took this. Ha crazy crazy

Decorating the tree...

I know its been a while since I have written anything we just got back into town last sunday and we have been trying to catch up and get ready for Christmas. It has been a really hectic and crazy week. We really wanted to get our tree up this week, with the snow and how close it is to Christmas we really needed the tree to complete the Christmas setting. Orion was totally into the tree this year, he was helpin Daddy set it up and put the lights on. Right after we got it up and the lights on he would just sit and look at it with the dog. It was pretty cute but it didnt last long, now he has decided it much more fun to play with the lights and pull on the tree. ugh.

Here he is helping Daddy with the lights.
this is when we first got it in and up.
