pretty in pink

This is Penny's eye this morning. Just about clear. She still has some poofi-ness around her eye and a smidge of goop in her eye, but it looks good. I'm glad that we don't have to take her back in to see the doctor; not that Penny minds @ all, so long as she doesn't get any s-h-o-t-s. :)

pink eye update

This was Penny's eye this morning. I would have thought that after a few days of antibiotic eye drops that it would look better.
This was her eye yesterday when I got home from church. Still no improvement. I think I am going to give the drops and her eye one more day and then take her back in to the dr.

UGH!:(

pink eye

Thursday afternoon, Penny woke up from her nap, with a red eye. I thought that it may be pink eye, but was hoping that it was just an allergy attack of sorts. It was worse yesterday morning. I took her into their pediatrician, which was diagnosed as pink eye. yeah for us...ugh! So, here was her eye yesterday afternoon, after 2 doses of the way expensive eye drops...
And here it is today. We had just given Penny her 1st dose of eye drops today, so her eye was still watery. She woke up with it all crusty too. Poor girl!

She seems way uncomfortable. Time to wash sheets, pillowcases, towels and anything else she has used in some hot, hot water. :)

I am thankful for antibiotics!

boing!

I tend to be accident prone. Apparently, a few of my children have inherited that trait. I am always running into things, knocking things over, tripping etc. Our Jacob, since his concussion has hit his head about 5 times. His equilibrium must be way off or the clumsiness trait has kicked in. Yesterday, as we are walking into Penny's school, for speech, Jacob walked right into a pole. I was helping Penny pick up some leaves when I heard, "Boing." (You know that sound that you hear when a head runs into a metal pole.) I looked up in time to see him bounce off the pole and fall onto the concrete, bottom first. Poor fella. Then as I was uploading the picture above, he hit his head again on the door jam to our 1/2 bathroom. Wow...maybe we should keep a helmet on this Wardling @ all times!

(If you look closely to the picture you can see the bruise, on his forehead, on his left side.)

christmas concert

Last night we headed down to Erin's school for her choral debut. They had a Christmas musical prepared. It was cute. The cutest part was Erin, because she was so watching us and not her music director. You can see that on the film below. (It is a 5 minute video...) The boys and Penny all got the giggles, so we had to quiet them down.
Erin told me this past weekend that she needed a santa hat for her concert. I thought that we had one in our Christmas storage boxes, but I couldn't find it. Instead of going out to buy one, I searched my stash and found some red, white, and white eyelash yarn. It only took 5 hours, but I finished her hat on time. My finger tips are still hurting. It turned out cute though! I hope you enjoy the video below!

***Here is Jacob's food quote of the day...

Yesterday I heated up chicken nugget left overs from the night before, for lunch. Jacob looks at them and says, "Whenever I eat these, I smell Uno's butt." You smell Uno's butt? was my response. MMM...chicken nuggets.

concert

mannheim steamrollers

A good friend of ours invited Libby to go to a Christmas concert, the Mannheim Steamrollers, last night. Her husband couldn't attend, so the invitation was extended to Libby. Libby came home from school yesterday really excited for the show. I tried to get her to take a nap, but she couldn't. I think these two had a blast! Thanks again for inviting Libby!!
