Saturday morning started off like any normal Saturday morning. Abby woke up, Tim got to sleep in, and we started making pancakes - pink pancakes, because those are for girls you know. Here is my helper, who didn't make that big of a mess. Megan was still sleeping thankfully.
All is well as of 7:30........About 4 hours later the chaos started with Abby crying saying her head hurt. We finally got her settled down and a babysitter was at the house because we had tickets to the MU game so we left for some adult time. Babysitter called about an hour later, Abby's head hurt still.
Needless to say after a consult from Grandma Papke and our pediatrician's 24 hour line Abby and I headed to the ER on Saturday night at 8:30. Interesting place to be on a Saturday night. Abby did really well and answered all the doctor's questions, it turned out she had strep throat. What a relief to Tim and I. This was her first time having it and we really didn't know what to look for. So they sent us home with a prescription and some Motrin to get Abby through the night. We returned home just before 11 pm. You'll all rest assure that Abby is doing much better, got to have a day at home with Mom on Monday and helped her work during some conference calls. We are no longer contageous!
Since the Abby situation was under control on Sunday Tim decided to take care of a slight closet upgrade for me. We've had the parts for a while, just haven't put them in. So I'm airing a little clean laundry with the photos for the before shot.
Really not that bad......
The empty version - I'll spare you the picture of the clothes on my bed. However I did donate 5 bags of clothes to Goodwill, even though the after photos won't really show it. I'll get some pictures of the finished project. It is done, just didn't take pictures of it.Tim's other project (among the many he completed) that was photo worthy was putting together Megan's Cozy Coupe that she got for Christmas. It was warm enough to take a spin in it. She doesn't quite have the feet part figured out yet, but looks pretty boss just sitting there.
I think she likes it......and we need a bigger garage.This weekend is St. Pat's. I expect it to be pretty low key compared to previous years. We're older and have more kids now so we're not as fun, it's to painful.

So sorry to hear Abby had strep! The first time Lindsay had it she threw up - weird to think that would lead to strep!! Now she just tells us her throat hurts and we know what it is. Kids - aren't they great?! :)
