90's work party

We lasted one hour! 

My little petri dish

I was woken early by this little one with ear pain. We later found out that in addition to an ear infection tested positive for Strep! Kids are like little petri dishes passing around pesky germs. Of course, a trip to McDonald's after her visit was in order. She is the only person I know who doesn't like the taste of Amoxicillin.

Will we be conscious?

We had a blast playing games and mini-golf! The question was... Will Dane and I make it to 2024 awake!?

Little to the left... Sam helping Christian try to get the BIG ONE! 

We also played a round of Put-Put golf! 

Made it till 12:15!

Socks!

The other day, my co-worker noticed how tiny my feet are. And then pointed out my cute black matching socks. She was surprised, in a house full of kiddos I took the time to match my socks. I bit back tears of both laughter and sadness, but mostly sadness. If she only knew the story of what socks in my life mean. 

We used to love to miss-match socks. Now, they are required to enter rooms (an OCD thing). However, socks can be fun and free us from time to time. I'll sometimes throw one over Kiddo's or Dane's shoulder for fun. 

We've received & purchased a lot of socks this year! Time to purge some more, as we are again overrun with SOCKS!

Needs & Wants

I usually write under wants on the fridge whiteboard- "World peace!" Sam and Christian will then draw pictures of war, like mushroom clouds and nukes. This time, as you can see, Sam under my want for "X-mas Joy"- Kahuna on a sleigh. Later, Christian drew tiny Kahunas leading the Kahuna sled.
