I Thought The Beach Cured Everything?!?

OK.....don't send social services, I learned my lesson! I am aware that when you have mono you are suppose to take things easy. I thought that if Curtis went to the beach yesterday he would be able to relax, and the beach vibes would ease his discomfort. Yesterday was another fantastic day at the beach....warm, light breeze...super enjoyable. Here is a picture of Curtis pre beach..... His eyes are a bit swollen, and he didn't feel super great. When he went to the beach he wasn't allowed to run around, swim in the water, etc. I even dug a hole in the sand, layed down towels, covered him with his blanky, and put him under the umbrella...... He even took a short nap. Despite my efforts, I think it wore him out more than I thought. He had a terrible night's sleep, and he woke up with his throat killing. This is what he looks like today.....

How sad is that? I have been giving him motrin non stop....I am hoping to be able to get a better pain killer from the doctor, and I went and got him a slurpee. I am not sure what else I can do for him. I hate it when my babies don't feel well. It breaks my heart.

The beach was fun, and it is always a good time hanging out with my friends. Now, I am not sure if they are going to stay my friends, because I take pictures of them, and they tell me I can't post them....but I do! Here is Tiffany blowing up the BIGGEST beach ball EVER!!!














Don't be mad at me Tiff....you look really pretty AND skinny. Which I have to mention Tiffany is running a marathon...over 26 miles....I can't even imagine! She is my hero!

The best part of this beach ball experience was when it was finally blown up, I said "next time you should bring a pump" that was when Kim realized she had had a pump in her car all along. Pretty funny!

Don't my boys look so sweet here:

I think KC sat there a whole 30 seconds. The rest of the time he bugged Pam. He is covered in sand, and was on top of her all day long! Sorry Pam. KC fell asleep in the car before I even pulled out of the parking lot. The sand sticks to him, so I couldn't even wipe it off.....

It is so weird that he has sand above and under his eyes, and it is very rare if he complains of sand in his eyes. This kid is constantly on the go. He plays hard and aggressive. He shows his affection with hard pinches and open mouth kisses.....and I love him! This morning when he woke up, he was so excited to see me, his whole body shook, and he grabbed on to me super tight and gave me the longest kiss! Those are the things that make me so happy!

Today has been a lazy day for everyone. No point in cleaning my house, because it gets destroyed....so the boys are just playing and making messes. I got a good laugh when Charlie came in the room like this:

Give a huge hug to Curtis for us. I hate when my kids are sick, and he looks like he is miserable. Especially in the summer.

Heather said...

ok Curtis is so sad, I hope he is better before school.

Hey is that Tiffany Reid in that picture? Ok I don't know her married name but that is her maiden name. Tell her to write me if it is. We are old friends.

I was so impressed with Curtis 'cuz when you all were packing up he was helping with getting everything ready to go even though he felt like crap. What a trooper!

About Me

My photo
OK...here it goes. I am a mother of 5 crazy boys....ages 10 months to 11 years. I have been married for twelve and a half years to an even crazier boy!!! I am not sure how he has put up with me for so long, and then I remember that he is as big of a goofball as me! I get to stay at home with the boys, but I work about 6 whole hours a week teaching fitness classes. I think I am funny when I remind Scott that I am independently wealthy (if you knew how much I made, you might think it is funny too)! I do love to work out, and without it I would be about 500 pounds and completely insane. Well, that about sums it up. I am looking forward to keeping a record of the completely abnormal behavior of my perfect family!
