Purim Kitty Cat

So Steph and many of her girlfriends all dressed up as cats for Purim today. They got to parade around the school and show off their costumes with all their classmates. The teachers even put on a play for the kids and Mrs. Schreck was Hamen :) I am sure it was a blast and I wish I could have been there to see it....however I have been unable to move due to back pain, so I couldnt go...didnt even get pics this morning befofre she left but I did snap a few this afternoon. So here they are.

Poor Emily......

:( So we have all been sick....Sarah started it then slowly we all just got it had fever, sore throat for a few days then it goes away...only Emily got it, got better, then got another fever, then the fever went away, then came back??? This happened a few times so yesterday I FINALLY decided to take her in to the Dr. They look her over take her temp (was 101) check ears, throat, nose all the usual's. Dr. doesn't see anything so then she says lets get some urine :) Hahahaha I think Yeah this is going to be fun! SO in I go to the bathroom with Emily and Sarah. I get Em up there I am trying to hold a little cup under her, which she does NOT like, and I am trying to convince her to just pee. Meanwhile I am trying to keep Sarah away from the toilet, away from the drawers with the pee cups, then shes into the toilet paper OY..all the while Em will not pee and is now crying......So we take a break go back to the room, wait a bit. They bring Em some juice, which thoroughly upsets Sarah that she didn't get any.....then I bribe Em with a sucker I found in the diaper bag....so back to the bathroom we go! This time we got the little bowl for her to pee into so no more cup holding for me! I keep Sarah busy at the sink playing with water and FINALLY we got our pee sample! OY what a time! Turns out she has a UTI :( poor little thing! So she is on meds now for 10 days, then back in for another pee test in a few weeks. Only next time I am coming prepared with a stroller for Sarah and LOTS of candy to bribe Em with :) Dr. also wants to do some ultrasounds of her Kidneys.....we will see how far we take the other test....I mean it is just 1 UTI......do we really need to do a bunch of ultrasounds and tests on her for 1 UTI???? We will see......but in the meantime she is doing great taking her meds and seems a little less cranky. And Sarah well she is your picture perfect model of a THIRD child :) but so darn cute makes it hard to yell at her :)



HAHAHAHA BOTH girls were crying when I went to take these but they are both SO trained they stopped crying for their pose and smiled :)

Stephanies Family Portrait

I am glad she thinks of her family as Joy and Love :)

Sarahs first bang cut

So I couldn't take it any more! Sarah s hair was always in her eyes....I had been hair spraying it back to keep it out of her eyes, cause you know she wont keep a bow in!



My mom and I had talked about doing it but with everyone being sick we just couldn't seem to get together. So tonight I just got the scissors out and cut her bangs! Not the best job, but still better than the one Em got @ KoolKuts that one time! And of course I kept all the curls...only cut her bangs!
