My Tough Guy!!!

Sometimes, I forget about Camden's very high pain tolerance. When we got home from school last night, he said he just wanted to play Wii. Dinner came and he didn't want to eat, which is actually nothing new due to his medicine. He went to bed as normal, but when he woke up this morning, his entire body was covered in a terrible rash. Of coarse, we rushed him to urgent care. Dr. said his throat was as red as a tomato and the strep test came back positive the instant they put it in the culture. He never once complained of a sore throat, he just says he was tired!!! I remember strep as a kid... OUCH!!!!!! It felt like my throat was on fire!! He is definitely one tough kid!!!!

Family Snow Day

I think Mark has been dreading these snow days. Getting up and going to work when the rest of us get to sleep in! I think it finally got to him with 4 snow days in a row, so he took a vacation day today to spend some time with us!! Don't worry, I put him to work! I finally finished my toy room project that I have been wanting to do since I moved into our new house.

Before we started!!!!

My pretty princess vacumming the floor for me:)

She loves her new Christmas toys!!!

Camden was so mad when he learned that we did not have school on Thursday and Friday!! He misses Mrs. Richeson and says he wants to learn. I told him to go and grab some books and we would read together and learn. He came back with the book "All About My Body," complete with puzzle pieces of the human skeletal system. We went through the pages as we learned about the skeletal system, circulatory system, digestive system, muscular system, etc... Camden makes me laugh all the time, but when our parent educator left our house last night for Katers, he told her that it takes 17 muscles to smile and 42 muscles to frown. That kid just soaks in new information!! I wish I had that kind of memory in school!!!

I Love My Comfy Sweater, How Cute are these Boots?

Lets just say the new GAP kids commercial of little girls in their sweaters and boots totally stole my heart this year. So much, I ran right out and bought an outfit for Katelyn's 18 month pictures. Darn good advertising if you ask me!!!!

"I love my comfy sweater.

I love my comfy sweater.

How cute are these boots?

How cute are these boots?"

Dinosaur Scientist

Today was our first of potentially MANY snow days! I decided since the roads were fine in town that I would take Katelyn to Robin's house to play with her friends and spend some 1-1 time with my little man. He had received some 3-D puzzle dinosaurs for gifts, and we have just been dying to put them together!!!

I have a new found respect for paleontologist after today. I had step-by-step directions and was very frustrated. I can't even imagine just guessing how bones go together!! Camden was in heaven. Of coarse, he is a dinosaur scientist, so he knew everything. All together, we made 6 dinosaurs. I would type them out for you, but I have no idea how to spell them:)

Harlem Globetrotters

Today we went to see the Harlem Globetrotters at the Sprint Center!! Grandma and Grandpa bought all the kids their very own Globetrotters ball!!! The kids loved playing with them before the show started and practiced their dribbling during half time!!! They did a great job!!! Afterwards, all they wanted to do was go home and practice their dribbling!!

After the game, everyone stayed to have their balls autographed by the Globetrotters. Grandpa took Connor and Drayton to have their balls autographed. Mark asked Camden if he wanted to have his ball signed by a Globetrotter, but he insisted that he didn't want them to sign his ball, he wanted to sign it!!!!!

Katelyn fell asleep right when they started and slept until the 3rd quarter. I have no idea how he slept through all that commotion, but she did!!!
