Uh-oh, can you see the crazy day in store from these sweet little "pink" eyes?!
Well, here it is....Today was one of those days that you would never want to repeat. It all started when the kids woke up this morning. They all woke up with pink eye! I called the doctor right after breakfast and they told me they had a 9:30a.m. appointment (it was 8:45 and we live about 25 minutes away!). I said, "Ok, I think that will work." So we rushed out the door and made it just in time. Sure enough the doctor said it was pink eye. She gave me a sample prescription for Camille and Garet, but I had to go to the pharmacy for Mason. We made it home with the drops and gave each child a dose. Garet and Mason absolutely hate them, and we have to do it 3-4 times a day! We ate lunch and put the boys down for naps. Then Garet woke up at 3:00 p.m. from his nap crying because his ear was hurting. Oh no! I knew immediately it was an ear infection. I called the doctor again and they said they could get me in at 3:45 p.m. So, once again we rushed out the door and made it, barely. Of course, Garet had the beginning of an ear infection. This time I was thinking straight and asked the doctor to look in everyone's ears so I wouldn't have to make another trip to the doctor. Just my luck, Mason had an ear infection also. So, we went back to the pharmacy for some antibiotics and then grabbed a movie and some Wendy's. Finally, we made it home! So, I think this is a record at our house; three kids on eye drops, two kids on antibiotics, and one very exhausted mommy! And.....to top it all off Jared is out of town this week:) Life is great, isn't it?
On a more positive note....
I finally got a new camera!!! Hooray! It is awesome. It is a Canon powershot SX200 IS. It has a 12X optical zoom and is 12 megapixels. I love it! I stayed up late last night reading about all the different functions. I had great plans to take the kids out today and take hundreds of pictures, but obviously that didn't happen. So, I have a few of my pink eyed kids and Garet's head wound. We've had a rough couple of weeks as far as doctor visits go. I think I jinxed myself by thinking, "We haven't been to the doctor, for a sickness, in a very long time." Oh well, such is life! Enjoy the pictures!
Garet's wound a week and a half later!
My sweet little Millie! She is growing right up.
They were pretending to be in a Triathlon. They had to figure out a way to take the water bottles on the bike with them.
Poor little eyes! He was still a very good baby today! I didn't even know he had an ear infection:)
Yummy food! He is a great eater when it comes to table food.
Getting ready for the movie!
The head wound!
Mason coming to check out that thing that mom has! He is a huge trouble maker lately.

Holy Cow girl!! That sounds like quit the adventure!! Poor kids, and poor mom! It seems to always happen at the worst times...like when the hubby is gone! Aren't new cameras so much fun!
sometimes having kids is so much work! I bet you were exhausted by the time you got your kids to bed. Jared better appreciate all you do! You'll have to teach me all of the tricks you learned about the camera.
Whew!! I thought my week was hard with stitches and throwing up. You've got me beat! Sorry that the kids are sick... especially with Jared being gone. You are such a good mom!!!
Oh no! Totally a day you don't want to repeat. It looks like everyone was in good spirits. Hope you got to nap during the movie after that long day.
WOW!! That sounds like one nightmarish day. I'm glad you made it through to the next day. On days like that bedtime just can't come fast enough. I bet Jared felt so bad he was gone (or glad):) The soybeans you gave us were delicious. I'm pretty sure I ate all of them. Thanks.
Crystal! Ugh! Days like that are no fun, hope you don't have to repeat it anytime soon! Make that a double ugh because Jared was gone! :)
My goodness, what a day for you.
All I can say is WOW.
