Too Much Fun

Tyler told me on Tuesday morning that his mouth hurt.  So I was worried that he had strep again.  I decided to wait and see how it felt later that day before I took him into the doctors.  We went up to the Cannery to visit Tony at work and see the new machines.  Tony's mom came with us and we had a really good time.  We all really liked seeing the machines and how they make chicken noodle soup.  We also enjoyed the special grandma time.

Later that day Tyler told me his mouth still hurt so I made an appointment for when Tony got home from work so I wouldn't have to take all the kids.  Turned out Tyler did have strep, again.  He just had it three weeks ago.  The doctor guessed he just had bad luck.  So he went from never have had it, to having it twice in a month time.  So then I was super worried that the rest of us would get, but so far no problems.  I kept asking Josh if him mouth hurt and he said no.  We are very lucky, because we are always sharing food and drinks.  You would think that we would have learned our lesson when we all got the flu...guess not.
We were enjoying the dry weather yesterday afternoon after a morning of rain by playing in the back yard.  Lucky for us Tony got off work a couple of hours early so we were all able to play together.
Megan has become a pro at going down the slide all by her self.  She is also really good at climbing up the slide without any help.  She does however need help to go from climbing to sitting without falling off the slide.  She likes to stand up on the top, so Tony and I make sure that we are by her to help her sit down on the top.  Then she pushes herself and slides down all by her self.  She generally ends up on her bum or her face.  She is tough and gets right back up.  She is pretty impressive. 

Josh was riding around on one of the scooters and he must have hit a rock because the scooter stopped, but he didn't.  Josh's face fell right into the side of the handle bar on the scooter and left a pretty cool half circle right under his eye.  He cried for quite a while, so it must have really hurt.  He quickly felt better once he got a cup of fruit punch.  I am surprised it didn't give him a black eye.  We are lucky it hit him below the eye and not right on it. 

Earlier yesterday Tyler told me that he wanted some pillow thing that holds an ipad or tablet.  I told him that we didn't have an ipad, so we didn't need that pillow.  Tyler then said we should buy an ipad.  I told him that they cost lots of money and then asked him if he had lots of money.  Josh then joined the conversation and said that "Nana has money...Nana give Josh money."  I agreed that Nana gave him some money (four quarters for helping pick up the branches) and it was in his bank.  Then Josh went and got his Mickey bank and showed me all his money.
Josh has a really good memory and it is so fun to hear how he thinks.  Just a couple days before this Josh told me how much he likes Nana..."Nana nice."  Then Tyler and Josh started fighting over who liked Nana more.  I guess if they are going to fight, that's a good thing to fight about.  We all love Nana.
Tony gave Tyler and Megan a horse back ride this morning.  It was Megan's first one.  Tony had Tyler hold on tight and then they went for a ride.  Tyler did really good holding on to her and Megan loved riding on Daddy.  What a fun family I have.
