Sometimes the days just pass so quickly, you know? Here it is, almost a week later, and I haven't posted anything, much less any pictures. I'm hoping for this afternoon.
Meanwhile, this morning Melia and I were watching Amazing Race, and she was asking me if we could go on a short flight somewhere since that wouldn't cost so much :-) I said that I hope so, someday. She suggested Chile. Then China.
Later, we were talking about how many flights they get to take on the show, and who pays for what (which explains why they get to go so many places!) and she said I should try to be on the show. I explained that there is a huge number of people who apply for the Amazing Race, and my chances of getting on it were very very small. So she said that when one of the teams gets eliminated, they should let me go on the show. "But, you'll have to take a flight." In her mind, this means I'm gonna have to pay for it :-) cracked me up. I think I could handle paying for a flight if it means I get to go on the Amazing Race.

Better
Isaac is doing better. He had two doses of Tylenol earlier, but after about 2-ish he returned to his normal self. He hasn't been crazy about the water- more about that later, don't want to spill all the beans now...
Kiera, tonight in the gift shop, asking for a "personality quiz" book-- read "pink and sparkly with a fancy pen"...
Kiera: can you buy this for me please please please??? (bats eyelashes)
Me: Kiera, honey, that's for big girls. when you get bigger I will buy you one.
Kiera: I AM a big girl!
Me: Can you write? Can you read?
Kiera: I CAN read. I can write. I can color. I AM a big girl!!! (bats eyelashes...hugs notebook to chest...bats eyelashes...bats eyelashes)
Hilarious. No. I didn't buy it for her. But I do have a good idea of something to do when we get home that includes a cheap notebook and some sparkly glue pens... :) Tomorrow I'm hoping to get some better pictures. It's difficult because there is literally water almost everywhere, and I get nervous holding an expensive camera. But there's a few things that I really want recorded, and that I can't wait to show you. :) Aren't you excited!??!

Life is So Unfair
Why does the east coast get *feet* of snow, with 10-20 more inches on the way, and we are stuck in the mud? We've had what, 2 inches total, maybe?
Oh yeah, but it's 84 and humid here... Yes. Life is so unfair. *grin* Why can't I just have one of these at my house?
But Isaac is teething terribly. He is certainly an interesting baby. 80% happy, but when he's not, he is basically inconsolable. The key to the peaceful life with him is being able to put him to bed... and shut the door. That does not work at a hotel.... We are struggling...
At this point, any drug suggestions would be helpful. We have teething tablets with us, and haven't tried the tylenol yet, but wondering if anyone has experience with something that is helpful with putting an 8 month old down to sleep. He is easily distracted by any noise or visual, so we have the playpen behind the halfwall in the room, but it's not working so good. Thankfully, we haven't gotten any noise complaints from the front desk, but I'm afraid we might.
Thoughts?
Oh, and Melia really really snores. Really.

Thoughts and Prayers
Please pray for Kiera. Gabe left me a message while I was at work tonight that Kiera had a fever. We are supposed to leave Monday morning to go to Great Wolf Lodge. I rubbed her feet down with Thieves and have RC diffusing in their room. I'm just hoping she pushes through the fever time quickly- I can deal with a cold, but a fever cancels it all. Boo.
Do you find it as intriguing as I do that my Survivor post garnered more comments that anything I've posted about recently. Is it that my ramblings are less interesting that the villianous characters on television? I can be more villianous. Really. I can. I think. Laugh all you want, but I surprised someone at work tonight with an onery comment. It was totally in jest, and she thought it was hilarious, but shocked that it came from me!

The Anticipation...
I know, this may seem a little silly or wasteful to some of you. But I don't have a lot of shows I watch. So when a good one is coming up...
Like the Heroes vs Villians season of Survivor! I almost stopped watching last season, but just so enjoyed Russell that I followed it just for him...! All the favorite bad guys/good guys back to duke it out! :-)
Sounds like fun to me!
(If you don't already have your DVR set, it starts next Thursday!- the 11th)
And Amazing Race starts on the 14th!

Conversations
Intro: We'd just found out that a gal Mom works with is pregnant.
Kiera: I wonder when Gma Debbie will have baby.
Melia: Gma Debbie doesn't have babies! She's a grandma! Only womans have babies.
Kiera: Gma Debbie yes a woman! She have baby!
I actually had to cover my mouth to keep from laughing out loud..
Singing, to herself....
Kiera: Duck Duck Goose. Duck Duck Hot Dog Hot Dog Hot Dog Goose!

Smile.ly—Be Heard. Be Happy.
Smile.ly—Be Heard. Be Happy.
So I joined one of those online opinion places called Smile.ly
My first "mission" was to try VitaCraves (by OneADay) Gummy adult vitamins and tell you about them. Here goes:
I did like these. They are a little chewy/hard, but the flavor was a 10 out of 10. They weren't too sweet like other gummy vitamins I have tried. Using the coupon they sent along with the free 50 pack, I would purchase these in the future. Or maybe without the coupon. I'd just have to see how expensive they were! I especially like that they were gummy; I have serious problems taking those horse pills!
On a scale of 10, I would give these an 8.
You can check out Smile.ly too- this was my first mission, but it seems an easy enough way to try out new things. You don't get reimbursed with anything except smiles, which earn you more missions. Not a big deal, but a little something fun to do. :-)

A quick update
For those of you who do and don't know what all is happening at our house...
Early Sunday morning, Isaac woke up fussy, and when he cried, he started coughing- croup style. Having never experienced this before, (it's a very scary thing when your baby's airway is restricted) I took him in to the ER. Thankfully Gabe was home and could stay with the girls. We actually were afraid it was some kind of allergic reaction, since he'd had a new kind of food that day.
They explained about croup, gave him a dose of medicine and sent us home. Since Gabe has trouble finding time to do his posts for our KI classes, he volunteered to stay home with Isaac so the girls could still go to church. In Sunday school, Melia told Grandma Nae that her tummy was hurting her like she needed to throw up. So we went back home. Kiera cried and cried. She wanted to sing. (she doesn't really sing, but apparently loves hearing everyone else?)
Melia was basically at about 85% all day. Sometimes her tummy would hurt a little bit, but never enough to slow her down. She did choose to eat toast instead of popcorn when we watched AFV. (For which we finally have a video- her greatest dream. Hopefully I'll get it on here soon.)
Isaac's symptoms have been almost totally more related to teething (he has another coming through) than a cold/virus. We've got a humidifier going and I've been rubbing him down with Lavendar, RC, and Thieves on his toes. No more coughing at all, and he slept all the way through last night with no problem.
Our new odd occurance? Kiera has a 5 inch welt that runs along the edge of her pullup from last night. NO idea. :-P
Oh, and Isaac didn't make top five. They had hundreds of votes! I think we were top 10 though :-) Still don't know what the prizes are!
Have a great Monday! I'm happy just to know I don't have to work until Thursday! :-)
