Paging Dr. Lucy

So if you didn't know, Dad had to have some surgery this last weekend. With Mom being 9 months pregnant someone was going to have to step up to the plate and take care of him when he got home.

So I got the call when Mom was bringing him home and got straight to work!



Dad had some great nurses and they sent home a kit for me to use so that I had the right tools. I dug right in.



Ummm, I am supposed to do what with this????



Now I know you need to cover you hair, but this is a little overkill, don't you think?

Wait, WHY do I gotta cover up, he's the sick one!?!?



OK, time to get serious, deep breath please...

Do you have a fever?...Better check that too, hold still please.

Dad, I know this is going to hurt, but I am doing this because I love you. (That's what you say when I get a shot....you'll think twice before you that BS again, won't you!)

Now that your checked out, you gotta stay warm. Get these hospital socks on. You don't want to get sicker do ya? I don't care if it is 85 out, put on the socks!

Because Dad was such a good patient he gets a reward...grapes with me and puppy and a little dose of Elmo.

Get some rest Dad. I love you!

Now when Dad gets sick, his FAVORITE sick food is fried chicken. I know, sounds gross, but that's his thing. How about you? This weeks poll is about what food makes you feel better when your not feeling well? (If you pick other please leave a comment so I know what it is. Trust me, you don't have to feel weird about what it is, Dad's is FRIED CHICKEN...GROSS!

Creepy!

Yes it has been a while since I posted. So to catch everyone up on what has been going on, a few weeks ago Mom was away at her women's retreat and Dad was in-charge. So he came in REAL early and said "wake up Lu, got lot's to do today!" I was like "Huh? What time is it?"

He said again "C'Mon get up let's go!" Again I was like..."Um, what time is it?"

Then he said "We are going out to breakfast, C'mon!" YES I thought, "WHOOO HOOO, PARTY TIME!"

So I got Dressed and we went to the Cracker place. Busy so we had to wait for a table. That was OK though since they had comfy rockers out front. I gotta get me one of these!

Then once we got seated and ordered we needed to kill some time. Dad thought we could just talk. Dad, don't embarrass me, that's not cool I thought. So quickly I looked around and I saw they had this really cool game about proving how smart you are. Gotta get the pegs down to one. I am pretty freaking smart!

Me and Dad..I love this guy!

Then this great food came out, but how can you eat when there is a cute boy sitting at the next table. Couldn't take my eyes off him. Dad abruptly paid the bill and we left. :(

Then afterwards we were out and he bought me a present. I feel pretty stupid right now, better get me one of those games again, quick!

The next weekend Mom was home and we decided as a family to go to Shamu's Halloween Spooktacular. The lamb outfit was why to hot so Dad got out another outfit for me. That's right, I'm a roman princess. TOGA, TOGA!!!

Now I don't know my way around SeaWorld to much yet, so a Couple times I needed to stop and ask for directions. This guy wasn't helpful at all.

Next we went to see a show about Halloween. It had ELMO! I love him!

Then my cool Dad said let's wait around after the show and we got to me Elmo! How cool is that?!?! OK, cool, but a little creepy at the same time.



Then I guess you are supposed to walk up to strangers and ask them for candy? What about all that talk about what to do if a stranger asks you if you want candy? I don't get it. Again, a little creepy.



Dad, maybe you should help me here, I am not asking them for anything by myself.

After tick or treating we got to meet another friend from TV...Abby Cadabby. She is also creepy. Not sure I am liking this holiday at all!



Now unlike where Mom and Dad are from up north, October is pretty hot. Like 15 days of 90 degree weather. So at the end of a hot sticky creepy night they let play in the fountains. That was a blast!

I was so impressed with my buddies from Sesame Street that this is what I decided to finally be for Halloween. La la, la la....La la, la la...Elmo's World!

I knew the ladies down at Publix were going to love this, and they did! SCORE big M&M cookie with frosting. Now that is how trick or treating should be.

So for the poll this week, what is YOUR favorite Halloween candy?

Stay tuned for next week! Dad is having surgery and I am going to be his nurse and care giver...

Workin and Playin

So I missed last week...Sorry again. I was pretty busy with house projects for Dad and he didn't let me have to much free time. His favorite chair broke and he thought I should fix it. So I was like sure, I'll do what I am told.

First thing I did was go to Lowe's and check out my options for a replacement...

To soft!



Maybe a wood one?...Too Hard!

This one looks just right!

While we were shopping they had a bunch of scary Halloween decorations out. This creepy one was talking. No way was I letting mu guard down around her.



Then I got home and started to unpack the new "Throne." Not sure why he like this room so much. Outside of bath time not much to do here. not even a TV. Although, he said he's working on it!

One thing Dad says is that you gotta always make sure you have all the parts and don't forget anything. Use every screw and bolt, that's why they put it in there.

He also says to follow the directions. So I assembled it just as it said to.

Next it was time to put it all together. Just gotta tighten this one a little more.

Perfect!!!!

Next it was off to the man room to help hang some pics that have been sitting around for a while. Now Dad isn't to good with tools so I had to show him what he would need for the job.

First you need a drill.

Then you need the level to make sure they are even.

Maybe the laser will be easier to work with.....

So after all this hard work we got have what Dad called "workin mans food" I think I like this working business!!! RIBS....YUMMY!

Then one day this week not was my friend Ashlyn here, but my cousin Megan stopped by. Mom said we needed a picture together. None of us were to into it because we had stuff to do.

Then came the opening weekend of college football. That can only mean one thing...OH! I told you earlier that Ashlyn and I love The Ohio State University and hate all things Michigan earlier. Now they weren't playing the school to the north, but it was the first game. So Dad and Keith and the whole family got together for the game.

Love cheering for the Bucks with the Family.

Me and Kev had maybe a little to much to eat...football, TV nap mode kicking in....

Everyone stop bothering me! This game is getting a little to close. Navy just scored and are going for the tie....:(

YES!!! The mighty Buckeyes stopped them and win the game! Everyone is happy and order is restored to the world....IO!!!!

I am glad to see everyone thinks I am going to kick some booty in my Fantasy league. For those of you who voted against me, I will find you! Sleep with one eye open!

With the BIG OSU vs. USC game this weekend coming up and Dad throwing a tailgate party, I thought I should poll my peeps on what is the best football food out there. Let me know what you think.

Lucy Sky...OUT!
