Happy Valentine's Day!

Natalie and I brought home so much candy, chocolate, and cupcakes today that it practically fills up our entire kitchen table. That's a lot of sugar! On top of candy she had toys, a balloon, playdough, and other assorted items. If you want candy or chocolate, please stop by and help yourself! I am more than happy to part with 99.9% of it. Happy Valentine's Day!

Harley Girl

Natalie had an exciting day at her Poppy and Grandma's house. She rode on Poppy's Harley for the first time by herself! She squealed with delight as the Harley took off on her first trip. She loved it so much she begged to go again. She'll definitely be back to take a ride another day!

She also got to drive the John Deere tractor and ride in the back with Schatze. She was busy today making necklaces and keychains with grandma and, of course, watching Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2. It was a cute movie and one that I'm sure she won't get tired of watching easily. She had a fun-filled day and crashed in the car on the trip home.

Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2

Natalie has been wanting to see Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2 from the time she saw the first commercial for it. Today she is the proud owner of flick. She's never seen part 1, but I'm sure it's not too difficult to catch up and figure out the plot. Advertisers sure know how to get to kids (and their parents!) It does look like a cute dog movie, but I'm sure I won't be say that after the 25th viewing!

Medicine Excuse #29

Natalie: At school my calendar said it's been 10 days and I shouldn't have to take my medicine anymore.

At least she's creative!

Feeling Better

Natalie insists she's feeling so much better that she shouldn't have to take her medicine anymore. She hates the way the medicine tastes and comes up with lots of ideas why she shouldn't have to take it. We explained that the medicine has to run its ten day course before she can stop taking it. No explanation helps though! Luckily she hasn't gotten a fever and has been able to go to school and feel decent all day. Seven more days of medicine to go!

Feeling Yucky

When I picked up Natalie from school today her teacher said she'd been complaining that her ear hurt. She's had a lot of drainage lately and it stopped all of a sudden. So between that and the fact that her ear hurt I figured something was going on. She has an ear and a sinus infection. Since there's no fever she can return to school tomorrow. She's not thrilled about taking her pineapple flavored antibiotics, but she'll have to get used to the flavor for the next ten days. Let's hope this clears up quickly!
