More Strep, Christmas Card Pics, and Some Cuteness

So much to tell, as I am sure my title lets on. lol Friday began with Connor not feeling good. It continued off and on all weekend. Sunday his neck began looking huge bc of his lymph nodes so I took him to the pediatrician Monday morning. Well, he has strep throat. Addie had it in September and again in October. We had a break from strep in November and now Connor has it again. I am sure Addie will have it soon bc she seems extra susceptible. Uggghh.
Of course, I waited until the last minute to take a pic of the kids for the Christmas cards. So Connor looks totally stoned in all of the pics bc he is sick. People are going to think we gave him some meds to get him to sit still for the picture. lol He was also forced to color a large sign that says Merry Christmas for him and Addie to hold in the picture. Make sure to look closely at the horrible bubble letters I did for him to color. You would never know I use to be a cheerleader and had to paint that crap on signs for football games all the time. They would be so ashamed. lol
Addie has become quite the little helper. She loves throwing things in the trash. Like on of our 3 cordless phones(we guess bc it is gone), a measuring cup, and the Leap Frog ABC Fridge Magnet. Luckily, the Fridge Magnet began singing the ABC's when we were taking out the trash. We were able to dig it out of all the nasty trash. The new rule in the house that I am sure no one will follow is to see what is on the top of the trash before throwing more in. That way if Addie has thrown in something important, we will be able to save it. She is doing so many cute things. She pretends to brush her hair, pretends to put toothpaste on her toothbrush,pretends to brush her doll's teeth, says bye bye to her pee pee and poop after she uses the potty, blows kisses, squeezes when giving hugs, kissing the pictures on the digital picture frame......I could go on and on.......but I will stop. She looooves getting on the couch and rolling around. She has rolled off twice now but keeps on getting back up for more.
Not much else to tell about that I can think of at the moment. Enjoy the pics!

Sat afternoon Doodles crashed out on Daddy bc he was not feeling well Friday night and slept very little.

Sunday Connor colored this sign for their Christmas picture. He was really motivated until the end. He got tired of coloring and it took a few breaks and a npa to get this finished.



Connor was quite possessive over that sign he worked so hard on. This was during our photo attempt for the Christmas card.

Addie was saying sorry. Connor looks terrible since he is sick.

Addie being still and acting innocent after I caught her rolling on the couch.

Kissing and hugging the digital picture frame. Notice the mess of her hair from rolling around on the couch.

I am hoping that Addie will leave her hair clips in her hair soon bc it is all over the place right now. It looks so cute with a bow or clip in though. Sigh.
