why no pictures?????

Because my camera is dead and I can't find the charger.  Hopefully we find it soon.

random pics and bum update

So, it seems to me that it was the diapers doing it.  After switching brands everything cleared up really fast.  Of 3 large boils Erin had on the last post, she just has the scab of one left.  I'm so relieved.

And pictures...lol

At the park  on Saturday.  She went all the way across (with daddy's help of course)

He wouldn't look at me

And he loves his bath.  Don't you love what his hair does now??

I looked down and they were hugging each other.  Of course, by the time I got the camera out, it was a wrestling match.

sewing projects

I made this skirt for Erin

And this is her Halloween costume.  She loves it

The Great Diaper Experiment

So our brand of diapers was recently "new and improved" and since then the kids have been getting really bad rashes.  Erin in particular has been getting large boils.  Talking to my mother this morning about Erin, I realized (thanks to her really) that it's probably an allergic reaction to the diaper.  So I went out and bought a different brand this morning.

By this evening Erin was running around the apartment again instead of just laying on the couch or moving around in a pained hobble.  So I'm encouraged.

Please pray for my kids - Erin especially - that they'll heal from their sore bums soon!

Pretty Princess Tea Party

Saturday Erin went to her friend Lily's birthday party.  Here are a few highlights:
Getting prettied up

Trying to get a good pic of all 3 girls....yeah, not happening

but Lily was happy

Having cookies and milk

Danica decided to join and tell them about being a princess ("You get to wear uncomfortable dresses, and get locked in towers with dragons, and just sit and wait until the prince comes to rescue you, isn't it great?")

Patrick decided to crash

He's got a pretty new hairdo too.

Blowing out candles

And opening presents

Erin chose the My Little Ponies for Lily all by herself

And watching a movie after.  Erin loved those earrings and was so frustrated that they kept falling off.  Don't you love her chocolate mustache?
