How do I look Mom?

 

Bless his little heart.
Yesterday after being with his grandparents I noticed what I thought was sleepy in his eye.  I got it out and then minutes later realized it was not sleepy but the gunk that gets in your eyes with an infection.  We took him to see Granddad and sure enough it was Pink Eye.

He has eye drops that we have to put in that he HATES but he is doing good at getting them.  I assumed we would have to hold him down but Chad is so good with him.  Chad holds his hand and I do the drops then he gets lots of hugs.

I pray that we can get through this without it going to the other eye.  So far so good!

Snow Day 2010...

We had such a nice surprise last week when it started snowing.  The last time it snowed, which wasn't this much was back in March of 2008.  There had been snow forcasted several times since Christmas and it never amounted to anything.  When they started forcasting snow this time I didn't get excited until the last minute when it was a 90% chance of snow.  It started snowing Thursday morning (the 11th) and didn't stop until Friday morning.  School was cancelled for Friday and we had a great day at home.

We ended up with nearly 5 inches of beautiful fluffy snow.


I walked out before everyone else so I could get some pictures of the untouched snow.  It was quiet and peaceful and still snowing a little bit.  I thanked God for letting us have this gift.

 

My very own snow angel.  I haven't made one since I was a little girl.  I think she is cute :)
 

Chad, Hayden and Parker starting work on the snowman.

Hayden LOVED the snow.  The kids went in and out several times during the day but one time Hayden stayed out for 30 minutes by himself.  Crazy!

Parker like the snow but didn't want to be out in it long.  I joked that when he grows up he will probably want to live in Florida like his Uncle Scott & Aunt Bridget.

SNOW BALL FIGHT!!!!!!

As finished as our snowman got.  Bless his heart.  He never got to see or smell :)

Stomach Bug

We have had the stomach bug around here this week.  It started with Parker on Sunday night/Monday morning, then Hayden on Wednesday and me on Thursday.  It is yucky but for us it only lasted 12 hours.  One of the bright spots that filled my heart with happiness was in the middle of poor Parker throwing up (crazy enough).  Here is what the little puking guy said, right in the middle of "the act"...

I pray...

PUKE

that God...

PUKE

will help me stop frowing (throwing) up.

I love that he knows where his help comes from.  His help comes from the LORD, the Maker of Heaven and earth (Psalms 121:1-2).  Amen!
