The morning after…

to Dr. Beth’s we went! I guess the golf cart trick-or-treating in chilly weather wasn’t such a great idea. It took those hacking coughs to another level! (Either that or the candy kept both girls up all night long!) I wasn’t taking any chances on the coughs, so we headed to the doctor early this morning. One hour, two bored and obnoxious girls, an ear infection, a sinus infection and two antibiotic prescriptions later, we headed home. So maybe it wasn’t just the candy that kept them up.

I don’t know why they even bother with that paper on the table. It isn’t like it really keeps germs away. (Especially when my girls are in the office.)

McCanless finds it necessary to write on every square inch of paper. Mary Clare finds it necessary to tear every square inch of paper and throw it on the floor. They both get in each other’s way in doing so, which means irritated, annoyed girls AND Mommy.

I also found about 20 tongue depressors in my purse tonight. I have absolutely no idea how, but I guess McCanless figured out how to sneak a few without Dr. Beth or me noticing! Another lesson, another “talk”…

I just dread going to the dr’s with all the kids! They can make a mess of the room in seconds…playing with the stirrups would be their favorite. Yikes! We have those coughs here too (Maddie’s avoided it somehow). The girls looked like they had a great time trick or treating…they’re so cute! Loved the pictures.
Love,
Katie

Hey Kerri,
I felt much better after reading that. Emma also woke up sick the morning after the chilly Halloween night (in a fairy costume). Maybe not so smart on my part…I felt a little guilty about that, but I guess most kids would endure a little cold for Halloween candy. Now we are ALL sick, but better to get it over with I suppose. By the way, our doctor’s office experiences are very similar. It gives me comfort to know that great times, crazy times, and agonizing times are shared by us all…WOW what unity!
