This and That with a lot of Eli

I found this gem on my phone :)

Looking cute in new pj's.

Eli has written two comic books this year about ninja's.  He worked hard on the second addition, not even stopping when it was time to play outside.

Allergies hit Eli hard and his eyes have been extremely itchy.  So itchy that they've woken him up several nights.  I tried several different medicines to figure out what worked best and benedryl made him crash in our bed for a long Sunday nap.

Benedryl was not the answer and the next Saturday he woke up with his eyes almost swollen shut.  We spent the morning at prompt care and then he had his first basketball game. Prompt care was no help, but Zyrtec and different eye drops were and he was able to see well enough to make the very first basket of the game! 

When the concrete is too chilly for a desert dog:

Maya shivers every morning when we let her out and it makes us giggle every time.  It's a good thing we're not moving somewhere cold!

 

When you take a stinker to Kohl's:

I was waiting for the kids to get out of piano when I saw this:

Good times.  My only comfort is that we don't actually get to eat any of the produce grown in our backyard, it's all shipped out across the country.  But then again, that means that E. coli is growing in my backyard.

We took a day trip to San Diego with the White's.

The kids spent the day burying one another.

 

 

 

 The mommas had the most fun.  Homeschool moms need to get out of the house every once in awhile and guess what?  No one complains or fights or even asks questions when we're on the beach!

Colin was asleep 5 minutes of being back in the car, so I guess it was a successful fun day.  This also gives a little look into the inside of our new car.  Look at all the room we have now!

 

I spoke too soon about all the baby stuff being gone.  I guess we do have the diaper bag, burp cloths and baby blanket Elizabeth made.  Colin has worn the blanket like this all week, even sleeping in it.
