Please Pray for Baby Caiden

Please pray for Baby Caiden.
He is the newborn I babysit for. He is very very sick.
He was hospitalized a few weeks ago for pneumonia. After a week of recovery from that, he got sick with some kind of virus. He ran a high fever this last weekend & was put back in the hospital Sunday evening. He was diagnosed with Broncialitis (sp?) & was on oxygen, breathing treatments, & prednisone.
I was called this morning & told that he had to be put on a ventilator last evening. Then he had an allergic reaction to some meds. He has been given meds to paralize his body so he won't fight them, & will be having an echo done on his heart to check for "microcardia-something".
I hate to even type this part.....but his mother was told that he might not make it.
PLEASE PLEASE PRAY FOR HIM.
Please put him on any prayer chains you have in your churches.
Thank you so much.

Kitchen Tip Tuesday

My Kitchen Tip Tuesday is a little different this week. I think the only way it relates to the kitchen is that we did this craft IN the kitchen. LOL

This is the handprint poem with the children's handprints on them.

For those of you who don't know me, I have 5 babysitting kids that come full-time, Monday through Friday. Our son did one of these papers too, he's 5 years old. Our daughter is almost 18, so she didn't make one. LOL However, she did make one when she was around 4 years old. We put it in a picture frame & it is still hanging in my kitchen. :)




We used regular construction paper & washable poster paint. Our daughter typed the poem up on the computer & printed it out for me (she didn't write the poem, just copied it from the paper she had made when she was little). We used Elmer's glue to paste on the poem, & then each child did their hand print. It was a challange, as 3 of the kids are under 2 years old. One of them it took many tries as she wanted to finger paint instead of holding her hands still. LOL I would suggest that you take a couple practice runs on a plain piece of paper first. That's what we did & it really helped. Here is the poem:



Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
One furniture and walls.

But all the time I'm growing~
I'll be grown up some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away.

So here's a final handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small.
