Scary...

Darrick had to go to firefighting school today. He had to be there at 4:30 am so he was pretty tired. The good thing was that he was home at 10:45 am-for the day! We were so surprised when he walked in the door. After an afternoon nap he felt much better!

We had a family meeting yesterday, our very first one. Darrick opened in prayer and then we explained to the boys our first allowance system. Micah's jobs are to clear the table and wipe it after dinner and then use the dusterbuster under the table. Jacob's jobs are to empty the bathroom trashcans after dinner and put the toys in the playroom. At the end of the week they each get $2.00 which is divided into God, Savings and Spending. They already had some money in another bank and Micah wanted to go buy a Wonder Woman action figure. It was so funny to hear them walking in the store together and Micah telling Jacob "You can't get that, you don't have enough money".

After that we went to Chili's for dinner. We love to get their Skillet Queso (It is a chili cheese dip served with tortilla chips). We were all eating it when Jacob started choking. He seemed to cough it up but then all of the sudden he started choking worse. I jumped up and pulled him out of the highchair and Darrick took him and turned him upside down. He coughed and threw up all over Darrick's lap. A few people jumped up to help us. He was fine and except for Darrick's clothes we were all ok but it was scary.
