Lazy Saturday Afternoon

Note: Thursday was interesting - Elijah somehow managed to find Scarlet Fever and decide to really make a go of working it to it’s best possible extent - adding Pneumonia and a sinus infection on top of it just for kicks. A strong anti-biotic kicked it’s bootie quite quickly, but it turns out The Fever is quite the contagious thing and by this afternoon, Katie had a rip roaring case of it herself. Another trip to the Urgent Care Clinic and more Bubble Gum Flavored Anti-biotics and we are all just up for a lazy afternoon doing nothing.

Note2: You know what your first thought is when you hear “scarlet fever”? Two words: Helen Keller. That’s right. So Thursday night at 11pm, I had this sudden panic that if I didn’t watch Elijah super carefully he was going to wake up at 4 in the morning crying because he couldn’t see. I hate the things you mind comes up with in the middle of the night! Good thing I have google. I learned quite a bit about Scarlet Fever and it’s associated complications. Fun times at Casa Wendy.

Note3: This is a really horrible picture, but I’ve been puked on twice today and therefore I make no apologies.
