I guess it won't be much of an update because I can never seem to remember to actually 'update' this site. Nor do I remember where he finished last week (and I forgot to post then, as well)...May 14th-ish. Sorry! I do remember that this past Thursday we had KRA Speedway's opener in Willmar, MN. Shane won with the A-mod and the B-mod (or midwest mod). He finished 5th in the superstocks, with Shawn Nolan winning the feature! Friday we had the night off, due to rain! Saturday we loaded up and make the trek to Deer Creek Speedway in Spring Valley, MN. They don't race Wissota mods, so we only had the mwm. Shane ended up wrecking in the heat race. The leader broke (a driveshaft, i think) and shane hit him wide open. Thankfully it was mostly cosmetic damage. They were able to get it race ready for feature time. He finished 6th in the feature. We stayed the night, hoping to race again on Sunday, but the weather changed our plans and we headed back home.
Break time in the hauler...
Mason was 'reading' to Braelyn, and she fell asleep. I was in the kitchen listening, and he didn't know it :) Kids are funny how they memorize books!
The kids have been doing well, for the most part. Braelyn came down with a runny nose and raspy voice. It came on after Thursday night's race, so I'm thinking the dust may have upset her (even when she's covered with a blanket most of the race, it still seems to be everywhere) or she could be having teething issues or a cold (a few daycare kids have runny noses, and one had pnuemonia). She has been waking up often at night, which we need to fix NOW! :) The night in the hauler she slept all night (of course I was in the same bed as her) and last night she only woke once. But her bad nights make bad days!
Mason had his first (and second) trip to the dentist this past week. He had a cleaning and x-rays done last week and he LOVED the dentist. He was so excited to go back, so I didn't dare scare him by telling him how horrible it actually it is. Typically they don't like the parents to come back becuase kids behave better without their parents around. Which I can so vouch to! (There's a daycare parent who says I need to hold her child down to give him meds and he will scream bloody murder). Wouldn't you know it, he gave himself the medicine and didn't make a peep! Back to the dentist.... I did sit in on the cleaning/x-rays, but stayed in the lobby for his follow up appointment (fillings and a cap), and when they came out, she said "he did great"! We chatted about the work that was done, and out the door we went. His lip started to quiver, and then, an all out ball session. "Mom, I don't like all the tools they put in my mouth, and my tooth and cheek hurt real bad!" He cried for 10 mins until I got him some tylenol, then we were good to go. He now has a reason to sing his "pants on the ground song (gold in yer mouth), only his is silver :) He never wants to see Dr. David again, so maybe he'll learn to brush his teeth at bedtime. He's pretty good about morning, but night is more important. And please, quit giving my child candy!! :)
