Last night I had an idea, a thought, that I had not really thought through.  I mentioned this "thought" to my husband via telephone conversation, and he ran with.  Brian started asking me all kinds of questions that he expected answers to.  He began to make plans based upon this thought.  Now what could I be talking about? 

The diagnosis is pink eye. The doctor nor I really understand how a child gets pink eye when she's already on an antibiotic, but we are a rare case. We also don't know how Jacob, our 1 yr. old friend, & I haven't gotten it yet. Anyways, I have this horrible gel I'm supposed to put in her eye 3x's a day. Hahahaha...obviously the maker of this drug has never dealt with a 3 year old before. She's closing her eyes, covering them with her hands, and tossing her head back and forth...URGH!

We go from one thing to the next in our house; life is busy. Our summers have never been any different then any other season except we add pool time into the schedule. We usually aren't more busy or less busy, but this year is different. Where does the time go? How do we have plans every day of the week? Wow! Well, God has provided me with some wonderful women to hang out with.

What do we do? Our most favorite outing is Monday beach days! = ) I'm smiling just thinking about the fun we have. Kennedy loves the sand, water, and playing with other kids. Today was a beach day that got cut short due to a massive storm. So, to update you on our lives, most of our life is spent at the beach or the pool. Once we get home from our day of activities I get to clean up while Ms. Kennedy rests. Brian joins us on the weekends for beach and friend time, but during the week its just us girls.

Over the 4th of July weekend, Kennedy went bowling for the first time, we hosted a BBQ, & went exploring in the mountains. We really had a wonderful time, but exhaustion set in by Sunday night.

This past weekend we headed back to the beach and enjoyed dinner with some friends. Brian left yesterday for one of his schools. Kennedy and I will keep ourselves busy this week with Pampered Chef parties, dance classes, story time, swimming, going to the gym, and whatever fun we can stir up. I hope that everyone had a wonderful 4th! We'll keep you up to date on Kennedy's eye.

I had planned to spend this evening blogging about our past few weeks, which I may still do, but I have to update everyone on Ms. Kennedy. Hopefully, we will be heading back to the doctor tomorrow. I can't believe that we will be heading to the doctor for a second time in less than a week. Up until last week, Kennedy had only ever had one sick child visit to the doctor. We now have this crazy bug bite that I think has caused her to have an eye infection. I don't understand how you can get sick while on an antibiotic and benadryl, but it seems to be the case. Since Friday afternoon Kennedy has had this horrible green goop coming out of her eye. I have no experience with child sickness, so I'm worried. To get a same day appointment with the doctor, you must call at 7AM when they open. I have my alarm set and the phone next to my bed; I'm prepared! I will keep y'all updated on our doctor excursions, and I will try to post some new pics.

This is what the Dr. asked Ms. Serious today about her bug bite. She just looked at him like he was crazy.

We spent yesterday at the beach, and came home with a bug bite on K's cheek. I noticed it around 3PM, but just thought it was a mosquito bite. It was a little swollen this morning, but between 1 & 3:30PM it got huge. I called the Dr. and amazingly they got her in today. I had 30 min. to get out of the house and to her appointment (we live 20 min. from base). We arrived on time, and got taken back almost immediately. I don't know if they take swollen faces that seriously or if we were just lucky, but I was glad to find out that nothing horrible is going to happen to her. We were told that she is having an allergic reaction and there is now infection which is why the drastic change in appearance. So, we have antibiotics and benadryl. I was very concerned that the swelling would move to her eyes or nasal passages, but the dr. didn't seem concerned.

I just had to share how pathetic my girl looks. I feel so bad for her, but she says it doesn't hurt.

On July 1st Brian turned...18...28...29....21...40??? Hush its a secret! No, he's in denial about being 31!

Our plans were to relax at the beach all day, but Brian ended up having to go into work. One of the guys that works for him got sent to the hospital on Sunday night, so we were more concerned about him then Brian going into work.

Once Brian got off work, he met me for some exciting grocery shopping before we proceeded with our afternoon of fun. Now, normally I wouldn't tell you about my grocery shopping, but Kennedy proceeded to tell Brian what his present was while we were shopping. She mentioned the watch the first time on the cereal aisle where Brian tried telling her that he already had a watch. She got distracted, but a few aisles over she told him, "No, Mom said your watch broke and you need a new one." Brian continues to try to tell her things and to get her to be quite, but she just doesn't stop. She goes on and on about how his watch is a secret and its a present. I guess she doesn't fully understand the secret part.
