Let the Fun Resume

So, Tirus is healthy again...thanks to antibiotics that I have to quite literally shove down his throat twice a day for 10 days. :o( He's had a rough transition back to reality though. I think he'd gotten quite used to being doted on...having his mother at his beckon call. He hasn't really enjoyed returning to life as usual...Mom telling him "No, you can't have yet another popsicle/cup of cocoa". Oh well, he's a resilient little bugger, he'll survive. :o)

We got to go to the Family Fun Fair at our church this last week and it was so much fun! Alena got a pony painted on her cheek and Ty got a spider painted on his. :o) They both got snow cones, hot dogs and popcorn. It wasn't healthiest of affairs but they had fun, gosh darn it! :o) Tirus's favorite carnival game they had there was the one where you throw darts and try to pop the balloons. I think he liked it just because he was allowed to play with something sharp and was encouraged to try to make loud noises. :o) Alena loved any game that she could succeed at. After playing each game she'd ask "Did I win, Mommy?" I don't know where she gets that competitive drive!! I blame her father... At the end of the festivities the kids got to pick out prizes based on how many punches they got on their little punch card (each game you played you get "x" number of punches on your card). They were in hog heaven when it was finally their turn to pick out their "treasures". :o) It all looked like junk to me (except for the full size candy bars on the back table) but they acted as if it were pure gold! Oh, to be a kid again and be so easily satisfied!!

Well, I'd better go let Alena come out of her room from her quiet time. She was only supposed to be in there for an hour and that was about an hour and a half ago!! She hasn't complained though I wasn't about to either!! What a good kid! :o) Until next time...TTFN!!
