Kiddos

Its a different life for boys I think. As a girl I just wouldn't be comfortable with tarantulas in my bathtub, but maybe that's just me. N. seems to think that the more creepy things the better. Ewww.

Z. surprised me this week by falling asleep with her"grandma wolf" under the Christmas tree. Kids are so sweet when they are asleep. Maybe because they cant whine or backtalk or pull attitude when they're sleeping.
T. ended up with pinkeye, again. How often does a kid need pinkeye? Anyways he must need it every month and this time around he added an injury to spice things up. I suppose beanbags could be used for sledding but its just not a good idea in the livingroom aimed directly at the chair. He learned and didn't even need stitches. The bandaid relieves the pain(?) but dad figured it shouldnt go right over the eyelashes and eyebrows in case it needed to be removed later in the E.R.

Grandma calls this one her "monkey bug" Its fitting. She is a hoot. She is feeling well enough to laugh again(its been too many months of ear pain) even if she follows Merrill tradition and gets hiccoughs afterward. Its worth it to tickle and tease her just not right after shes eaten. That can get messy.
(Sorry about the rotated pict. its too late and i'm too tired to try again)
