Photo of the Week: A Pox Upon Our House

The past four weeks have brought us the joys of:

• six trips to the pediatrician
• two visits to the hospital for Baby A's pneumonia and RSV tests/x-rays
• one visit to my doctor for strep throat
• one night of tepid baths to bring down a 104.2 degree fever in Baby G.
• one visit to the ER for pinto beans up the baby's nose (seriously.  pinto beans up the nose.)
• one whooping cough scare (quarintine the baby!  boil the sheets!  call all of your friends and warn them that they have been exposed!  oh, no... our bad... it's not whooping cough.)
• enough prescriptions to take care of a third world country

My "one little word" for the year was wellness.  Yeah.  That's going well so far.

Photo of the Week: 100 Days

 

Baby G.'s kindergarten class is celebrating their first 100 days of school next week.  Each child was sent home with a bucket hat to decorate with 100 things.  How perfect for a little girl who is always dying to pillage mommy's stash of old keys, scrabble tiles, vintage watch faces and all sorts of other goodies in the studio! 

Yeah... her hat kicks ass. 

(thanks for the vintage ballerina cupcake topper Auntie Suni -- it's her favorite!)

Photo of the Week: Soul Patch

What?  Is there something on my face?

This kid is going to be the death of me.  There is marker on nearly every surface of my home.  I can't figure out where she has squirreled away her stash of stolen Sharpies and Crayola markers.  Every time I turn my back, I hear an evil giggle and this one is running around like a mad woman, scribbling on everything she can.  When I catch her she runs (marker out), making a mad dash to spread her artwork where she can before I confiscate her weapon. 

The other day, she painted her face and then tried to pass it off as if there was nothing different.

21 months old.  Seriously.

I remember my mom putting my Girl Scout patches on my sash.  Now it's my turn!

I'm seriously thinking about using this picture on her 2nd birthday invitation.  What do you think?
