Rachel has a handful of pox on her belly and back, a couple on her arms and head and 2 on her lips (!). She's itchy, but she's fine as long as she's not thinking about it!! I think the kids are just about done getting knew ones; hence, their contagious period is just about over!! Rachel looks fine--no one would ever know she has them unless they look super close (however, I guess that could change if she decides to sprout some more pox tonight!). Ethan, though, looks a little worse!! His face took a beating :{ Here are a couple of pictures of him. I'll try to take some more tonight.He's trying on Rachel's garage sale sunglasses!
He's not crying from the pox--he's upset that his sunglasses have been taken!
Last night, Tom went to the teen activity with the 3 oldest boys (Nathan is now officially involved with the youth group!). I had the challenge, uh, er,...opportunity to stay home with the 4 youngest. We had a good time except that Ethan was incredibly crabby--he missed his afternoon nap and let us know about it
We had dinner, watched a video, and went to Wendy's for Frostys!! We got home, read some new library books, and then, I fed Ethan. While I was doing that, Andrew, Sarah, and Rachel said they were going to take a nap (it was 9:30pm!!). I was thinking, "Whatever!" But, they got their pillows and blankets and laid down. The girls were silly for a few minutes, but by 10pm, all three were out cold!! AND, Ethan was sound asleep, too!! I thought, "OK, now what? I'll put Ethan to bed, let the other 3 sleep and enjoy the peace and quiet until the other boys get home." The activity went from 6:30-9:30. Guess what time they got home?!?! 11:10--go figure!! Anyway, here are a couple pictures of the sleeping beauties (and the beast--Andrew probably doesn't want to be called a beauty!!).
Isn't he so cute?? A good picture to bring up at graduation time :)
