playing catch up (again).

Six days until Christmas and here I am playing catch up…. again.

Since my last post, Ruby has become a performing artist, escaped the threat of pink eye, recovered from an ear infection, developed an allergy to Penicillin, has become extraordinarily more mature (in my eyes anyway) and has probably grown about 2 millimetres.

Leo has suffered from the pink eye, decided that picking decals off his bedroom walls is his new pastime and seems to have an aversion to going outside to play in the snow.  (maybe it's that he's just not feeling well…. I'll give him another chance).

Ryan has been sleeping on the basement couch because he has strep throat, a sinus infection and basically feels horrible.  He's missed an entire week of work.  We've missed two holiday parties so far and might miss another one this weekend if he doesn't smarten up!

I have managed to come out relatively unharmed and hope to stay that way.  Six days until Christmas and twenty-one days until Costa Rica.  No time to get sick.

Getting into the song.

(Side note:  I had a different dress picked out for her concert but Ruby insisted on wearing this one because it was more "fluffy". )  Thank goodness I have a few other fluffy dresses available for the Christmas season.

Play dough play time.

The kids have been playing really nicely together and play dough time is a nice break for mama.

Handsome despite the pink eye.

Playing outside during the 1st snowstorm of the year.

It's Ruby's last day of school tomorrow and she's also visiting the dentist later on for her first cleaning.
Fingers crossed that it goes well.

Hopefully our little family will be goo-less soon and looking normal enough to take a family photo in front of the Christmas Tree!

Ho, Ho.
