...Danica&Silica...

Have you ever had one of those days when a series of unfortunate events unfolds quicker than the blink of an eye? I picked up my munchkins today, only minutes after receiving a courtesy call from the CDC. Danica had fallen on the playground, busting her poor little nose. We arrived home, and in an attempt to cheer her up I allowed her to open the Easter box from Grandma in TX. The kids had a blast! UT Hook 'em horns shirts, cowboy/girl hats, fun fun. I begin cooking dinner and the phone rings. Best Buy. Somehow we owe $140 instead of the usual/set $19. Jacob arrives home with my younger brother Lee, hand him the phone, still haven't bothered inquiring on how that one ended! So I am cooking, Owen is hovering by the bedroom door waiting for Jacob to finish the Best Buy debate so he can show off his cowboy belt, Lee hops in the shower... and then there was Danica. Unsure where she found the Silica packet in the big Easter box, or how long she munched on the little rocky treats. Suddenly Uncle Lee, ha ing finished his shower yells from the guest room. "LISA! DANICA IS EATING SILICA". In a whirlwind of charcoal, water, laptops, iPhones, and a poison control representative later... sweat, tears, spilled water, and adrenaline all a waste. Turns out the Silica urban legend got the best of us! Minus chipping teeth and possible choking... Silica is a little treat of moisture fighting rocks. YUMMO!
