Ear Infection and Other Stuff

Well I was called for the first time by the school to come and get Oldest today. Ended up he has a MAJOR ear infection and the doc suspects that the ear drum will burst sometime this evening or tomorrow. There is NOTHING worse than watching your baby be in pain! Thankfully it did not take long for the meds to kick in and so we are now on an every four hrs of Tylenol and every 6 hrs of Motrin as well as two doses a day of Amoxi. He has not stopped talking since the meds kicked in which trust me I am thankful for!

In other news I spent the weekend trying to finish all up all of the holiday decorating but of course ya never get it all done. The pics I have thus far are not great and Santa told me he was thinking of bringing me a new camera that I can have early!;) So with that said here is just a few pics till I get a chance to retake this weekend.

Hope things are well for ya'll!

Here is a sneak peek at the tree. I am trying to find some more decorations with an old world/vintage theme. If ya have seen any please let me know! I had found a fella blogger who makes um but she sold out before I could get a chance to snag any. I have a total of 2 so far.

Here is my new coffee table tray from HobLob that I used some RubNBuff on and added some Harlequin scrapbook paper. A total of $10 spent on this project since I had a coupon. Great thing is it easily transforms to everyday decor.

Walking In A Winter Wonderland

Day filled with fun in the snow! School was let out at 12:30 and it snowed pretty much for the following four hours. Some would call it a dusting but for Houston was a pretty good amount. It is the first time ever that it has snowed this early and the first time ever that it has snowed two consecutive years. As promised here are some pics!:)

Oldest & Littliest running around after taking Christmas Card pics. Yes we had a winner thankfully! Who knew that after last years card we would get a chance for another snow pic for the card!

Shortly after getting home from school.

Our "hood". Isn't it beautiful!? It all started melting around 5 ish and now is all frozen which is actually the biggest worry for around here. It is super cold! We spent the later half of the afternoon and evening over at our friends house. When I went to load up the mini to go home the door was frozen shut! It took like 10 tens for me to get it open.

Hope your day was a pleasant and joyful as ours! Tomorrow back to the same old same old. Need to finish up decorating and the outdoor lights. Pics coming next week!:)

And We have Snow!


Lots of fun being had! Will post picks later tonight after the excitement has worn off. Already on our first load of wet clothing. Has tapered off a bit but more on the way!
