A Painting Party !?!

For Elizabeth's 6th Birthday she wanted to have a painting party.
My first thought was "you've got to be kidding me!!"
but it actually turned out very well.

For her cake I made cupcakes and arranged them to look like a painter's pallet. Elizabeth had so much fun mixing the frosting different colors to look like paint. I may be biased, but I think it turned out really cute.



The girls each got to paint a ceramic bug or flower
and also a stain "glass" animal.
I was amazed has how wonderful they all looked.
Next came the finger painting (I know, I must be crazy!).
The older girls made some really pretty designs . . . but the twins just liked making a mess :) As things were winding down they decided to see how many girls would fit on Elizabeth's bed. Luckily no one fell off :)

I think the party was a great success and the girls all had a lot of fun!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELIZABETH!

Twins in Trouble

Image
The twins were supposed to be in their beds in their room watching a movie for quiet time while Joseph was taking a nap today. I heard them in the kitchen and asked them why they were out of their room. They instantly started saying "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry" so naturally I went to see what they were so sorry about. When I saw them I put them in the tub right away and asked them what happened . . . They some how managed to get into Elizabeth's ink and stamp set and decided to decorate themselves and their bedroom. You can tell by the look on Sarah's face she knows she is in trouble. And Emily doesn't seem any happier. They colored their beds Elizabeth's Bed And the rug on their floor. After their bath they spent the next two hours scrubbing everything they touched in the kitchen, their ink footprints off the floor, and the rug in their room. They were not happy with the manual labor, but were smart enough not to complain. I'm hoping th...

And the diagnosis is . . .

Friday morning Emily woke up with a fever. By Sat night it got up to 105! Boy was she a sick baby. Sun morning while Andrew took Elizabeth and Sarah to church I took Emily to Primed. Her WBC was high (21) so the doc new it was a bacterial infection and gave her a shot of antibiodics. He didn't run any other tests though so we didn't know where the infection was. (I was kinda frustrated about that) Even with motrin and tylenol she ran a nasty fever the rest of the day. Monday I took Emily to her regular Dr who ran all kinds of tests and discovered my poor baby girl had Pnemonia!!! She got another shot of antibiodics and was put on oral antibiodics for 10 days. Her oxygen level was great so I got to take her home, but I have to take her back in a week for a repeat chest x-ray to make sure the pnemonia is gone. Sarah started running a fever Sunday night so the doctor did a work up on her and found she had elevated WBC too so she was put on antibiodics as well to fight off the inf...
