Free Quick Pages, Check Ups and House Colors:

These adorable quick pages were a free download from a super fun site that I've been on their newsletter list over 3 years. Here is the link to their site:
Lettering Delights. Their items are fun for the creative fonts and many of the other lettering styles they use. There is much more to this site, so I hope you have fun clicking around!

Aaron had his 12 year-old check up today. I was glad Michael came with me because Aaron's anxiety is a bit overwhelming. The basic stats put Aaron's height at 4'10" and his weight at 78lbs. This puts him in the 45th percentile for height and 27th for weight. He also asked to get the warts on his legs burned off with the liquid nitrogen. He pleaded for the doctor to stop, but I just had him squeeze my arm really hard. The doctor said they were the Molluscum variety. He was surprised to see them on his calf where it doesn't stay warm or moist.
After that it was time for his chicken pox and DTaP booster. Michael held Aaron, while the nurse (firm, yet compassionate) attempted to give him his shots. He finally relaxed for enough seconds for her to finish the sharp deed.
I forgot to say that during the preliminary stuff that included taking his blood pressure the nurse had to let Aaron sit down for a few minutes while she entered the measurements, so she could take a second reading. The first reading showed his blood pressure too high for a child his age. His anxiety had quite a dangerous manifestation!

We will be replacing the siding on our house with Hardiplank and painting. We informed the neighbors and asked them if there was any colors that they flat out hated. Most folks said "NO Dark colors" and one neighbor requested no purple. We are vascillating on the color. The neighbor on the right side has a bright yellow house with dark green shudders, the neighbor on the left has a putty colored beige with muted green shudders and exactly across the street is a reddish toned brick house with a magenta toned shudder. I tell you these bits of information because I wouldn't mind some color combos ideas. I like the arts and crafts style, but the color tones are too dark for the house and neighborhood styles. So, just send me a comment if you think of a good combo!

Thanks and have a great weekend!
