Sick Season & Garbage Cans

Well we are in the thick of sick season around here.  Brooklyn has missed 4 days of school and I took Carson in to the Doctor today. Ear infection, I am telling ya this kid catching every. single. bug. ever. Bad things about older kids being in school.  Like every month I take him in.  I think the RSV he got when he was 6 months old really messed with his system.  I guess by the time he is 12 he should have immunity to everything.  We can hope right.  Chas left today to go to Skamania, WA for work.  He will be gone until Thursday. So for FHE we decided to go shoe shopping.  I know spiritual right? But Brady couldn't go another day without some shoes so we went. At 6 at night. And it actually was kind of fun.  Something totally out of the ordinary for us to do.  As soon as Brady tried on some new shoes, he let out a big sigh and said, oh these are so comfortable, so I knew he hadn't been joking when he said his old ones hurt his feet.  Emree ended up with some cute black boots as well, BOGO!  Then we headed to Walmart.  We got a bin for all of the boys' Knex legos and then they were all on a kick about getting a garbage can for each of their rooms.  They were all so excited, it was hilarious!  So now they each have a $3 garbage can for their room and the are ecstatic, love it when little things make them happy!  Plus now maybe they will put the trash in the garbage, doubt it, but hopeful!
