If It's Not One Thing, It's Another!

We had a good time last weekend with my family at my Aunt and Uncle's house west of Fredericksburg, Virginia.  The boys haven't spent that much time outside in a long time!  The weather was perfect.  Dry as could be, but not too terribly hot!  Tanner even got to light a few fireworks all by himself - with help from daddy and papa so he was safe.  Spencer didn't care too much for the fireworks.  He wouldn't even go near the sparklers.  Bennett slept through it all! 

Tanner and Spencer were soaked most of the time we were there. They played with the water guns and the water in the bucket, and just any water they could get into. They even got a few sunbeams on their checks and neck from being outside so long. They really had a good time!

Sunday Bennett had a fever all day.  I thought for sure he had an ear infection.  But, with the state insurance that we have, I wasn't able to get in touch with anyone to see if I could get the okay to take him to the emergency room.  We came home earlier on Monday and I took Bennett to the urgent clinic.  Turns out he has Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease.  Stinkin' viral infections!  His throat was pretty sore I'm sure.  Then today, he's been really fussy and he has this rash all over his torso, chest, and neck.  I called the doctor and took him in.  He's got roseola and an ear infection.  So on the antibiotics he goes. 

Other than our adventures, we're doing good.  My summer is starting to get really busy!  Lots of places to go.  I just hope the kids don't get sick on me.  That won't be fun!
