Ty's Allergic Reaction

When I went to get Ty this morning this is what I found...

I took him to the doctor because it looked like he was having an allergic reaction to the amoxicillin he was taking for his ear infection. His Dr. said he had never seen an allergic reaction look like this before. The rash is only on his face. It is not anywhere else on his body. He did take him off of the amoxicillin just in case that was what it was and perscribed something else for his ear infection.

Ty with Croup... agian

A couple of days ago Tyler started coughing again

and since it has only been about 6 weeks since his

last round of croup we were pretty sure we knew what it was.

Adam took him to the instacare and we were right (he also had bilateral ear infections).

One of the things that they say to do is take them outside in the cold air and let them breath it. Well, it's not cold outside so they suggested letting him breath in the cold air from the freezer. So this is Ty all bundled up so he won't be too cold.

Kena's display for the Easter Bunny

This is what Kena left by her basket for the Easter Bunny

This is a picture that Kena drew of the Easter Bunny

and she labeled it "for you" so the Easter Bunny knew he could have it

This is her darling bunny that her grandma gave her.

She wanted the Easter Bunny to see it,

but as you can see she labeled it "not for you"

This is the whole display... such a funny girl.

Rice Krispie Eggs

We had so much fun tonight. My friend at work told me about

a commercial for Rice Krispie eggs with and hidden suprise inside.

Click h ere for the recipe.

So I went online to find it and

it seemed really easy so we decided to give it a try.

First we sprayed each of the kids hands with Pam

(this helps a lot... I would spray it between each egg)

Making the Rice Krispies

Then the kids each took some RK and put it into a plastic egg

and then you make a little "nest" on each side and put some M&M's in

Kate was so proud when she got done.

Jack was so funny- I think he had more fun making a mess...

he is a boy- what did I expect?

Kena was very focused on the task at hand

Jack actually finished making an egg

They were kind of hard to close...

It was easier later when we knew what

we were doing and didn't add as much RK

Kena's finished egg

So much fun... another new Easter time tradition.

Bunny Buns

In the friend this month they had a recipe for "Bunny Buns"

It sounded like a fun and easy thing to do.

We all had so much fun.

I gave each of the kids of the kids a strip of dough and

they rolled it out and twisted it into the Bunny Bun

Jack really just made it into a ball...

Oh well- he had fun.

Then we used a flower cookie cutter for the tail

They are so excited

This is what sweet Tyler did the whole time.

The finished product...

It is supposed to look like a bunny twisting around to look at his tail...

Can you see it?

The kids were so excited to reap the benefits of their hard work

We finished by taking them around to some of our neighbors

This was so much fun... Defiantly a new Easter time tradition
