A Challenging Weekend

So, Landin decided to test the boundaries this weekend. The first boundary, he learned his lesson from. On Friday night, he came out to me while I was making dinner and said that he had swallowed some money and that it hurt. I was a little thrown off by it, because I thought we had gotten past that whole scenario with him. I would have expected it from Ashlynn, but not him. So I called the nurses line on the base and asked them what they suggested, which lead us to the ER. The ER took an X-ray and then determined that he needed to go to Children's Hospital in Seattle, where there were specialists for this situation. So Josh took Landin down there, and I took Ashlynn home. Landin ended up being admitted because the specialist had already gone home for the evening. The next morning, Ashlynn and I woke up extra early to go down to the hospital because the procedure to remove the money had been scheduled for 8am. So we got to the hospital, where Daddy and Landin had only had a few hours sleep, and we waited for the procedure. Landin was sedated, and the money got removed safely. Unfortunately, that whole experience was all for a penny. Too bad it wasn't a quarter!!!
On the next day, it was just after naps so that everyone could catch up, I started to smell something funny. I went into the kids' room, and what do I find? Landin is POURING powder on Ashlynn. I was fuming at first...until Ashlynn turned around and I saw what she looked like. I started cracking up. I couldn't help it. I was trying to scold Landin, but I just couldn't help but laugh at the whole situation. Could you have helped it after seeing this face?
