A little play time

Rhino has recovered nicely from his wisdom teeth surgery and has been working up a storm.  We decided to head to town on Monday night down to the Cruise in at the Bay for some down/fun time.

It was great to get out and spend some time together, my dad {or better known as P.D.} came along too!

All 3 of us had a great time, looking, awing, drooling, and fantasying about all the wonderful vehicles there!

 

As you can tell there was a whole variety of vehicles.  And of course there was quite a few of mine and Rhino’s favorites…….MUSTANGS!!

Chipmunk Phase

Rhino was going thru a chipmunk phase last week.  Really, Rhino just had all 4 of his wisdom teeth extracted last Monday!  I promised I wouldn’t take any pictures of him at all, but what kind of mother would I have been to keep that promise……. ssshhhhh….Christian has NO clue that I got this one and only picture of him.  Doesn’t he look all cute with those puffed up cheeks and the bunny ear ice packs? 

And can I say, our oral surgeon Dr. Basile was astounding!!  Not only did he keep apologizing to me when he was going over the instructions for the aftercare “because it is so much to handle all at once” and kept stating everything was written down and to feel free to call with any questions, but he personally called to check up on Christian the same night!!  You just don’t get that kind of service anymore.  Cudos to Dr. Basile, his entire office, and to Village Surgery Center too!

In the money!

Hello everyone!  Sorry for the long time no post but the Rhino household has been busy with the beginning of summer, end of Rhino’s Sophomore year of high school {which the grades weren’t as stellar as previous years}, beginning of Civil War re-enactment and *drum roll please* Rhino getting his first J-O-B!!

Yes Rhino has gotten a job with our local

Today was his actual first day on the job and he really didn’t do anything but sit and watch videos BUT hey he does that at home and doesn’t get paid for it so…….

Needless to say Rhino is learning to adjust his schedule for work time now.  He’s going to be one busy child between working, soccer practice, still getting driving time in on his driver’s permit, Civil War, and just being a teenager.  Choices are being made and sometimes it’s not the choices he would like BUT they choices that have to be…..guess he truly is growing up!

Spring Fun

The weather is finally breaking around these parts so we headed out to the beach for some fun.  As you can see “the boys” are at their usual best behavior.

We’ve had a few questions on how Rhino has been doing, post ankle surgery…..does this answer your questions?

 Rhino is doing GREAT! and ready to get into soccer season {which starts June 16th}.

Embarrassing your teenage son 101

We’ve always told Rhino that if he didn’t need at least 5 good years of psychological help when he grows up, we failed him as parents!!

Tonight has been one of the funniest nights in the Rhino household and it all boils down to….mom embarrassing kid *insert evil laugh here*

If you happen to see the Rhino, ask him about the Sweet 16 party, Facebook, cell phone numbers, and Juniors. 

Yep this child is in for soo much psychological help the psychiatrist will be weeping with joy over the dollar amounts he’ll receive.  Luckily for Rhino, I do medical billing for psychiatric patients….I’ll give him a few hints on what to say!  *insert evil laugh again*
