Strep, again. And skating.

Not much going on here to be honest. Calin came down with strep 2 weeks ago and the ER put him on penicillin, not amoxicillin, and apparently it didn't work. He's got it again, or still has it, and is home sick today and tomorrow. I took him to the clinic here and got him on some new meds. The doc realized he has an innocent heart murmur that you can only hear when he's lying down. Weird, no other dr has ever heard it before, maybe it showed b/c he's sick? I don't know. But other than that he's quite healthy so she said it's nothing to worry about and he'll grow out of it.
We took the kids ice skating on Saturday, and they had such a blast. They both did really well for the their first time. I figured I'd better start them young while it doesn't hurt so much to fall down. And boy did they fall down, Calin took quite a beating but as always it didn't phase him one bit. There was a puck and some hockey sticks hanging around the rink and he couldn't resist trying. And every time he swung to hit the puck, he ended up on his butt. Naiya pushed a chair around on the ice to help her balance but still fell a ton, half the time she'd just lay there for a few minutes staring at the roof before we had to call to her to get up so she didn't get run over. It was so fun to watch (sorry no pics). I did skate for like 10 minutes hanging onto Darin's hand, but that's about all I could take b/c my skates were killing me. I don't think I care for it all that much, but I'll try again some time.
Remember Valentines day? So did we. We pulled out a ton of craft supplies and made Valentines for each other and for the kids grandparents. Well mom and dad, yours obviously never made it. But I think Naiya has Easter craft plans so we'll send them then. Anyhow, here's a pic of the mess, and our new plastic table. That's pretty much the entire space for the table, which is why we needed one so narrow. We've got room to sit in the chairs and that's it.
