She seems to just get more and more beautiful.

Pain

After many years of a healed back I have some how injured it again. I'm in pain. There are much worse things, and bigger battles than this, but some days it just hurts. And I'm sick of it. I'm trying everything, and most days that's enough. Then there are days where my patience is gone before I even wake up, and I want a sick day. And then Maddy manually opens one of my eyeballs, and tells me good morning. So I get up, get going, ....and then I get over it and gingerly chase after Reed, clean the slime off the floors one more time (what is this kid putting all over the floors?!?), and then watch Doc Martin with Maddy.

Valentine's

Maddy is all set to start receiving valentines at her school party next week! Thank you to Nana for getting her FROZEN valentines! :)

This Weekend

Kicked our butts!

After all of our tooth, ear infection, and RSV drama, and another foot of snow and cancelled school on Monday... Maddy got the dreaded stomach bug on Tuesday. As I am writing this I just realized that Tuesday is no longer even the weekend! We had the weekend that just wouldn't end!

I am now going to go home and soak myself and the kids in a Lysol bath, and knit masks for everyone to wear until June 1st. Especially Ray. I don't think I can handle a sick Ray weekend.

Best/Worst Snow Day Activity

A gift from auntie Jackie :)

...and as another foot of the white stuff comes down.

We did crafts.

SNOW

The snow won't stop. Every tiny little snowflake that falls and gently lands on the already 3' on the ground is making me more and more insane. So I decided to take pictures of these happy faces. 

Maddy lost her fourth tooth this morning! ...Well actually the dentist extracted it. :/ She took a face plant into PE yesterday and caused a few bumps and bruises and a loose tooth. (Amazingly you can't even see the bruises with these pictures. I think I may have a magical camera. Haha) She was so brave though and let the dentist do his work.

Then it was off to Reed's pedi for his missed vaccines. Nope. 101.7 fever and a bad ear infection. Another round of antibiotics it is. 

Can winter be over now?
