Easton has been "sick" this whole week, so no school. He woke up Sunday morning with an ugly rash on his forehead and after me giving him children's benadryl with no help, we trotted off to the pediatrician Monday. They tested him for strep (sometimes strep can come in a rash...who knew?), negative (yay and huge sigh of relief), and came to the conclusion that he has a bacterial rash that is contagious. So, off to the pharmacy to get antibiotics and to set up the house to be quarantined. I am hoping that he can go back to school tomorrow. The rash is looking better and he has too much energy to be pent up in the house for 4 days straight.
The kids are watching Labyrinth right now and I think that is the only time it has been quiet in my house for several minutes at a time. Sigh.

randomness
Keagan told me the other day, "Sometimes I have bad dreams about someone stealing my ice cream."
Easton has his 1st loose tooth! He was complaining about something being in between his bottom teeth. As we were brushing his teeth I asked him which tooth it was that something was stuck. He showed me and there was nothing there, so I wiggled it, and sure enough, it is loose. I was so excited! He seemed a bit nervous along with excited, but has since become very excited and tries to wiggle it all the time. I think it still has some time before it is loose enough to come out, but still, a momentous occasion.
I have the January/February blues. These months seem so long. This year seems worse than last year--even though the weather is warmer. Maybe because my kids are older and want to be out and playing more. I usually love the winter and the snow, but with no snow, winter is gray and yucky. I am looking forward to warmer weather and park days.
Easton is getting better and better at sounding out words with reading. It is so exciting seeing him figure it out. He brings home a little book every day from school and that is his homework. We read it three times and then I sign it off and send it back for a new one. At the beginning of the year the first book had 2 words in it, "see" and "Sam." Now, he is reading books with an actual story line. It makes a momma proud.
