Busy week

Garage sale weekend

Last week seemed to fly by.  With Chris traveling, garage sale and Mallory not having school on Friday it seemed like we were busy every moment.  The garage sale went great, we ended up having it at our house with 3 other families, between everyone we brought in $2500, not to bad for a garage sale.  The kids are finally both healthy, lets hope it stays that way!  We had a beautiful day here yesterday, in the 70's with no wind.  We had a pizza party for the kids out back and then set up the water slide.  They all played from 10am and Mallory's last friend went home at 10pm.  We were all exhausted but had a great day.  Today we did some cleaning up outside, picked up our flowers for out front and back and anticipating our pool opening on May 9th, the kids can't wait.  Mallory only has 22 more days of school, I can't wait to have her back home everyday.

Round two!

Well once again both children in our house are sick. I am so lucky to have two beautiful children but when they both get sick it's the pits! Mick started with a horrible cough last week that just wouldn't go away. He also developed a really bad case of diaper rash, took him to the Dr. and we were sent home with breathing treatments and they think the rash might be a form of strep that infants can get. All I hope is that Mick needing the breathing treatments doesn't turn into what all I went through with Mallory. Today, Mallory kept complaining of her ear hurting and I had noticed a slight rash on her cheeks. She asked to go to the Dr. which is very, very rare so I took her, we were sent home with more meds! She has an ear infection and they think she also has Fifth's Disease which is going around our school right now. We are also trying to have a garage sale this coming weekend and the garage if so full of stuff for me to price. Chris is traveling early this week to be home to help with the garage sale. We both escaped the kids first round of illness lets hope we can do it again this time!


Mr. Bubbles is our friend once again!


We have to be careful to grab the right bottle!

Invention Convention

Invention Convention

Mallory had to come up with an invention that would make her daily life easier.  Her idea was called "Pocket Holder"  it was made to put overflow items from her desk such as pencils and rulers.  All of the parents were allowed to go to school today to view that classes inventions.  Hope you enjoy the pictures of our afternoon at school.

GO KU!

Everyone is finally healthy at our house!! We had about 25 neighbors over for a cookout and the game on Saturday night. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Still sick II...

Well... we made another trip to the Dr. office today just to make sure the kids didn't have strep (guess it's going around.) On a positive note neither of them have strep they both have a virus that has given them both as many as 100 canker sores in their throat as well as stomach flu symptoms and fever, yuck. I am very, very ready for them to both be feeling better. Mick hasn't slept through the night in over a week, boy have I quickly forgotten how enjoyable sleeping through the night is. Neither of us have gotten sick yet, still a few bets out there that Chris will get sick! Yesterday he was asking if he felt hot and wanting chicken noodle soup for dinner, he had me a little worried. Chris was able to stay home today and help me out with the Dr. apt and around the house before hitting the road again tomorrow. Hope everyone has a good Friday and weekend!

Strike two...

Well...I picked Mallory up from school and she was in a horrible mood this evening, turns out she had a fever at school (as well as having the worst day of her life...her exact words) and started throwing up this evening as well. I bought her the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie which starts out with the song "Had A Bad Day" Mallory commented that was the perfect song for her today. Anyone want to place bets on if Chris gets this lovely virus? Actually lets hope neither one of us comes down with what the kids have, right now it is taking both of us to keep up with diaper changes and grumpy kiddos. I am still armed with my awesome anti-nausea medicine from when I was pregnant with Mick, hope I don't have to use it. Well, off to bed, might be a short night and no school in the morning.
