Just got back from the doctor's office and Caleb has strep throat.  He's miserable – and when I looked down his throat this morning at 5:45 am and saw both of his tonsils touching in the middle, I knew it was bad. :(  The worst part is the dr. said no school tomorrow, and it's the Kindergarten field trip to the pumpkin patch.  His little pale face dropped and he cried big tears.  Poor guy.

And Samuel has ant (or spider?) bites in his diaper folds.  I couldn't find any hydrocortisone (despite KNOWING that we have some somewhere around here) so I used diaper ointment on the bites.  Does diaper creme help with itchy bites?  Hmmmm…  It better!  At least until I find the real stuff!

    Poor Caleb–I made a little frowny face at my computer when I read about missing the field trip 😦

    Mer,
    I looked all over to try and find your blog…I knew you had one. I finally found you. I’m soooo excited. Maybe this way we can better keep in touch. Your family is adorable. You are just like me….all boys. I have four now. The last time I saw a picture of your boys Samuel was a newborn. They are all so cute.
