for pink...or NOT!

We woke up this morning to a little boy with pink eye :( We've never had it in this house and I really don't like it. I just feel terrible for him! It's in both eyes and I think Molly has it too - but not bad yet. Her eye looks mattery like his did yesterday. And Jillian, well, she has an ear infection and both of her eyes are mattery! UGH! She took a 10 day course of amoxicillin and is now on Omnicef for 10 days.

Dear infections,
PLEASE GO AWAY!!!

So, I started this blog thinking that I was ALWAYS going to have something funny to post about what the kids did or said. I don't. And, I haven't. Maybe with all the above-mentioned yucky-ness their humor is at a standstill. They still crack me up!

Yesterday I got to experience something....something that I've  only watched happen but have never experienced firsthand. We live on a corner and our yard runs along side of the road to the stop sign. Lately, when someone leaves our house the kids have been running along side the road to the stop sign - you know, the way a dog might/does - all along the way yelling and waving "bye, bye, bye!" I think they get sort of a rush or something from being able to run as fast as the vehicle is driving. As I was driving away last night on my way to the store, Eli did this! It was SO cute! His huge smile lit up his entire face as he raced me to the stop sign. I LOVED IT! Then I turned the corner and he stood there with his arm up in the air waving at me. It was fun. 

I bought a new book yesterday: Too Many Cooks - The adventures of 1 mom, 4 kids, and 102 recipes.
I'm ready for a fun read!

It's off to the doctor (2nd time this week)! Maybe I should consider a local doctor??

Have a great day!
