Life must go on, right? Jordan and Kat both need Valentine’s Day boxes for school on the tenth so Shelley and I went shopping and got some things to put them together. Shelley is so much more creative than I am. I usually cover a cereal box in computer paper and let them decorate that.
We got gift boxes and taped them together. We also got all the stickers you can see on their boxes and shelley had chalk and other fun things.
Jordan refused to make his. He said a grocery bag would work for him. My 12 year old niece Taylor made his. She still wants to do more so the boxes in the picture are incomplete. They were waiting for the chalk to settle after they sprayed hairspray over them to make it stick. Tonight they are going to do stamps and paint and all that fun stuff. Alyce doesn’t have a school to take hers to so I’ll have the kids each put a Valentine in her box before she goes to school. I just thought it would be fun for her to make one also. The one in the back with the heart cut out is my nephew Carter’s.
So, when it rains it pours right? I took Nano to the doctor on Saturday. He has an ear infection and spots on his throat. He says his head hurts. He’s burning up all the time. He most likely has RSV also because my 1 year old niece has it. Poor babies.
Last night, Jordan got up at 3 in the morning crying that his ear was hurting and he has stuff draining out of it. He’s off to the doctor today.
Did I share that Pato blew a tire driving home Friday night?
Nothing else can happen for awhile. I’m feeling slightly stressed out. Keep that smile pasted on and I’ll make it through this.
A lot of people have sent me clothes donations. I have to say, the girls and Jordan have enough to get by. Nano doesn’t have very man, so those asking for suggestions, he’s who I need. If you have a few 3T pajamas laying around that yours has outgrown, he could use them. Especially since he keeps throwing up on his right now. Pajamas, sweatpants, sweatshirts, warm stuff.
He could also use a pair of shoes (size 9 – toddler). He living in his snow boots and slippers right now. They don’t have to be funky cool shoes, just a pair of tennis shoes.
Again, thank you everyone for thoughts, prayers, donations, everything I appreciate everyone so much!!

Cute bags Heather — glad the kids had fun making them, Sorry you all are now dealing with illness on top of everything else–but just think you will have gotten all the bad luck for the year over with at once, hope everyone is feeling better soon. I just got rid of 3T clothes about 2 months ago or I would have had a bunch — still not sure how I would have gotten them from MD to you, but would have found a way to do it. Take care
