Logical Conversation

During our icy, slushy commute to school yesterday I heard that we are supposed to get a sizable amount of snow on Friday. I said out loud, in a rhetorical manner, "MORE SNOW? REALLY? What is going on with all this snow?"

Devin, unnecessarily, replied back, "It's winter Mommy!"

Just goes to show you how logical kids can be. He really should have added a big, fat DUH at the end of that statement! LOL

P.S Totally unrelated but this is my 400th post!

Sledding

Now I am probably about to divulge a bad Mommy secret here. Devin has been out to play in the snow plenty of times. Many of my faithful readers know that on snowy days, or days nice enough for Devin to play outside I bundle him up and plop him out on our nicely gated back deck and watch him from the warm comfort of our living room. Now, you see, Devin loves the snow. Me, well I love to look at it from indoors, but that's about it.

So, here it is (Karla ducks for cover)....yesterday Devin went sledding for the first time. He LOVED it! As I knew he would. Here are a couple of pictures that I took with my cell phone and tried to enhance with picnik.com

Can you tell how much fun he was having? You should have heard his laugh!!

Oh, and thanks for all of the well wishes and misery on the sickies. I was starting to feel better yesterday, and this morning I woke up feeling WORSE! It must have been playing outside for nearly an hour yesterday that did me in!

Playing In the Snow

Today was the perfect weather to play outside in the snow, in my opinion anyway! It was in the upper 40's (at least!) and very sunny and comfortable. Usually we are out there playing in 20* weather and freezing our tushies off!

Here are some pictures of Devin climbing the snow mountain formed by the snow plow.

We also made a very sad looking snowman, of which I did not get any pictures and found animal tracks. Devin thought the animal tracks were from a pig! Sorry Devin, we don't have any wild pig around here (not that I know of anyway!). hee hee

Priceless

Going to the doctors' offices in the past 2 weeks....$150

Medicine for the past 2 weeks....$50

Amount equal to getting my family healthy again....PRICELESS!!!!

Thankfully I am feeling about 85% better, and Erick is probably about 90% better. Its now Devin we have to get on the feel-better train! He has another double bursting ear infection on top of this virus that Erick and I had! Poor kid. We will be bringing Devin back to the ENT (Ear Nose Throat) soon. More to come on that as the situation develops!

Lingering Virus

Ugh, so its been a week and we are still not well. I do not know what else to do. I have aired out the house, Lysol-ed everything, changed the bedding, cleaned, rested, taken medicine, drank hot tea with honey, and consumed LARGE AMOUNTS of H2O!!!

Now....WHAT AM I MISSING???? How do I make this go away?!?!?!? All 3 of us are still hacking, stuffy, and exhausted!

Is it Spring yet???
