All on a Sunday

We had an "eventful" day today. Nathan finally woke up with clear eyes and hardly any coughing! YAY! 

Then Elizabeth woke up and said her ears really hurt AND she had a small fever. Fantastic. A trip to Urgent Care confirmed she has a double ear infection. However, no sign of the pink eye or bronchitis Nathan is recovering from! Yay!

The pharmacy we normally use (Yokes) wasn't open on Sunday so we took the prescription to Walmart. That was crazy. Then Nathan pouted that Elizabeth's medicine was pink and his was only white. She's quite proud of her pink medicine. 

We came home and Nathan went hunting. He has his bows, his arrow, his sword, his hatchet, and a gun tucked into his pocket. He likes to hunt birds. 

Shooting his bow and arrow. Birthday presents.

Elizabeth was feeling better after some medicine and decided to practice writing some letters. Meanwhile, Jeremy was working on making the kids a new sandbox. I did not get a picture of this. 

My big helpers cut up the cantaloupe for dinner. They each got a cutting board and a butter knife and no fighting occurred! 

At  dinner a huge thunder and lightning storm rolled in. We were eating outside and had to move inside. I couldn't capture how DARK those clouds were but they were cool. Then, the lightning was amazing. It poured rain for a few minutes too. The wind picked up and messed up all the plastic Jeremy had put down in the sandbox. 

And the best part? As we were eating, I looked up and noticed  pussy stuff coming out of Elizabeth's eyes. One kid recovered from pink eye and the other starts! Nathan just finished his 5 days of drops and we still have half the bottle left so I did NOT make another trip to Urgent Care. We had drops in her eyes in about a minute. Perhaps our quickness will get rid of it faster? Who knows. Maybe she'll at least not get the bronchitis? 

I've been trying to get Elizabeth's back-to-school haircut for the last week and we were finally going to go tomorrow. I had to cancel the first time due to Nathan's pink eye (he was coming along as Jeremy was working). Now I'll have to cancel again! Hopefully by the end of the week she'll get a haircut!
