My first look at poison oak



Yep that's what Brennan has - at least that's part of what's wrong - poison oak! I had a feeling, but considering I've never had it or seen it up close and personal, I couldn't be sure. On his face, forehead, back, legs, arms and shoulders...it's disgusting! He also has a virus which is causing bumps on his stomach that are different from the poison oak patches. And he's still running an on again/off again fever...AND he has a cold. Poor lil guy :-( He's been such a trooper today. Benadryl liquid, tylenol or motrin for the fever and Benadryl cream for the actual rash. It's been quite a day for him, but he's doing well.

Tonight the girls started soccer practice. For McKenna this is easy - 3rd season for her and she loves it. But for Alyssa, this is her 1st time ever. She's not much on running so we're anxious to see how this will go for her - tonight was great. She seemed to really enjoy it and her, McKenna and Jayci had fun...down to the group hug they shared before parting ways. It was absolutely adorable...one of those moments you wish you could capture on video camera, but that never works out right.


Another thunderstorm tonight - which means no sleep for us - kids will pile in the bed one-by-one throughout the night I'm sure. Just one of those things!

That's all for tonight - just for you Karen & Kristen - a much shorter post :-)!

Give some lovey to B Money for me, poor little guy!!

Can't wait to see some pics of the girls, and yes, take the video camera, I want to see them playing soccer!! I predict Alyssa will look cute on the field, while McKenna is making goals all over the place. :-)

Ew! Poison oak does not look like fun at ALL! I want to see some soccer video, how fun! :)

Oh I didn't even think to take video last night - I'll do that at tomorrow's practice for sure. Yes, Alyssa was cute on the field - she enjoyed bouncing the ball like a basketball more than kicking it. We gotta work on that!
