Sick Day Survival Kit

A long, long, time ago, back when Blog was a boy, I posted about how much I love me a drive through window.

Today, I was caught off guard by a boy with oozing eyes. After a trip to the doc (double pink eye, lingering ear infection, still cutting 8 teeth- talk about a trifecta), it was time to hit the drive through pharmacy. I could have used a quick run in to grab some things, but Jr had fallen asleep and I wasn’t about to wake  him up. That’s when I got to thinking–those places with drive through pharmacies?

They could make a killing with a mom’s “Sick Day Survival Kit”.Turn in this ticket at the window, and when you drive back through to get the Rx, a bag can be waiting for you with your selections from the following:

Children’s Needs Chocolate Caffiene Alcohol Sanity Savers
Pain reliever 3Muskateers Bar 1 lb ground coffee 6 pack Coors Light People magazine
Formula 6pack Hershey’s bars 2L diet Coke 6 pack Mikes Hard lemonade Paperback novel
Diapers Jumbo bag M&Ms 32oz Chai Latte 1 bottle red wine Sudoku book
Teething meds 1 lb mixed chocolate 6 pack Red Bull 1 bottle Absolut Redbox DVD
New toy for entertianment Chocolate cake from bakery Case of Diet Coke 1 keg Lady from the deli to sit in your car so you can go into the store and wander aimlessly, in silence for a few minutes….

What do you think?? Did I forget anything?

This Boy

This boy. This boy is currentthat boyly hard to photograph, because  he   is soooo fast. In the past week, he has learned to walk, and his toddle is getting more sober by the day. He could be walking a straight line by the end of the month. Today he started standing up w/o pulling up–he’s learned to just stand up, no props needed.

As our little friends exclaimed yesterday, as he toddled to her,     “He’s a toddler now!”

When did this happen?!?!

You Are Here

Here we are:

Finding building number 4 on the map
Finding building number 4 on the map

Thea told me that I would love four. She was right. Four is agreeable, four is slightly more detailed conversation, four is slightly less dramatic and exhausting. Four is Fun.

Saturday the kids and I went made it to Conner Prairie, and had the best.day.ever.

We started our visit at the indoor play area, where there was a pioneer kitchen, a play farm (complete with a cow to milk), a general store and a giant train table. I think they would have stayed there forever if there wasn’t the promise of real live animals out in the barns. We saw animals, MAM petted said animals, Jr. roared at all of them. We rode the Tram (very exciting! It’s like a train, Mama, but it’s on the road!), and each time we saw the map, MAM stopped and found where we were, and where we were going. She retraced our entire route, each time she saw a map.

We played in a 19th century school house, walked through a covered bridge, saw a carpenter making the cross-bar of a window frame and played with the wood shavings. We smelled drying herbs, and saw the world’s largest hot air balloon.

We are here. And here is gooood.
