Crawling

Benjamin is growing up so fast.

He's taking after his Daddy in more ways than one.

He loves all techy gadgets.  

Especially remote controls and cell phones.

By chasing after my phone he has learned to crawl.

100 project

As a way of celebrating 100 days of school, Grace's class was assigned a homework project to bring in a poster board with 100 items glued on it.  Grace chose "diamonds" of course.  And she did an excellent job making her poster board all by herself.  It's amazing how quickly she's growing up.

Styrofoam fun

David and I bought a new piece of furniture from World Market.  The girls always get excited when we buy anything that comes in a large box.

Instead of playing with the box, tonight we played with the stuffing.

Grace was SuperGrace and broke monster styrofoam bricks into tiny pieces.

And Faith was Super Faith running to everyone's rescue.

And saving the day.

Then we went on a trip to Alaska where we hopped from iceberg to iceberg.

So the "crock-o-gators" couldn't eat us.

Those crock-o-gators are scary.

And love to snack on little girls, y'know.

Then they piled into life rafts.

And rowed their way to safety.

All the while singing "Whoa, whoa, whoa my boat!"

And finally an enormous dragon swooped in and devoured us all!

Nebulizing review

Today we went back to the pediatrician to check out Benjamin's wheezing.

Like clockwork, we've nebulized every 4 hours - day and night.  But he's still wheezing.  In spite of the terrible wheezing sound where he sounds like he is struggling to breathe, Benjamin acts fine and his oxygen count is good.  So maybe he just has allergies like his Daddy...

Nebulizing

Benjamin has been wheezing a lot lately.  Our pediatrician thinks he has a form of brochiolitus - similar to asthma.  So she sent us home with a nebulizer.

Benjamin is supposed to receive breathing treatments every 4 hours for the next few days.

So far, he's not a fan of the treatments but we pray that they will work.

Getting ready for Mardi Gras

Hey y'all it's Mardi Gras!

So the girls decided to make some Mardi Gras shirts.

We used sparkly fabric paint and stencils to customize our very own butterfly shirts.

And we ate moon pies.

And tried on different masks.

And had a grand time getting ready for the parades.

Mardi Gras wreath

It's Mardi Gras season again!

This year Grace helped me make a Mardi Gras wreath for our front door using leftover Mardi Gras beads from last year.

I think it turned out pretty cute, don't you?
