The last few weeks and random stories

Well, I haven't posted in a while and I do apologize. Jacob evidently picked up a stomach bug two weeks ago, so after dropping coffee and breakfast at the worship gathering, he and I came home. He was really only sick for the one day and ate like a champ that night. This is also the day that Megan got scratched by a puppy. She had a pretty decent scratch on her backside which of course led to "Megan drama" and bandaids for a week. Fortunately it hasn't seemed to deter her love of puppies!

Well, two days later Megan comes down with a fever.....and by fever we're talking the 103, call the doctor at 10 pm variety. After alternating motrin and tylenol all night I took her in and she seemed fine! Fortunately the doctor gave me prescriptions for "just in case." Thank goodness we had those because that night the virus truly hit! After 2 more days nursing her back to her normal self I thought we were through the woods......until today. And yes, now Jacob is throwing up again! Hopefully it won't last long. Here's Megan chilling watching a little TV while she was sick.
After being cooped up we decided to head to the beach for the day. Here's Jacob after a day of sand and surf....tuckered out or as my friend Mary would say worn slap out!
We've also had a lot of fun with the kid's night at chick-fil-a here in Ocoee! (the kids get a free meal when Jim and I eat there and they always have a fun treat for the kids) Megan got an Ariel balloon friend and the guy made a great Pluto for Jacob! The next week Megan chose a face painting of Hello Kitty and Jacob's alligator balloon popped before we could get a picture!
The final picture is one of Megan after finding her in her room taking what I assumed was a nap! Little did I know she found her princess drawer and had decided to color herself with bright pink marker that took a week to wear off! She painted her eyes black with mascara and her earlobes red for earrings. Her hands, arms and feet were completely colored. Sorry I didn't get a fresh picture, I immediately plopped her in the tub to get the marker off--the mommy in me prevailed. I'll try to laugh more in the moment next time! This picture is after the bath and numerous hand scrubbings.

Just a little bit of what's been going on here. Funny stories from our life in FL!
