Super Why

We are sitting here watching Super Why and I realized I haven't updated this for a while. (Other than the picture of the lilac last night...and I already want to change it.) I am so motivated today. I bought new cleaning supplies at Target last night and I want to use them and make my house smell clean and fresh. I want to bring the kids outside to play, and to go to the zoo...memberships are great!  I already know that most of that won't happen though. I don't want to bring Justin and Ryan outside (until I can RUN after Ryan who thinks it's funny to run down the street and to look back and laugh at me while I am holding my gut in place so it doesn't jiggle when I run, as I TRY to run and catch up to him...he is REALLY fast by the way-REALLY fast. ). I swear the kid knows I am not running at my full potential right now! What a stinker.

We also won't be going to the zoo since Justin has pneumonia....again. I brought him back in yesterday because I wanted to find out why he still had a bad cough. I don't understand this at all though. He is the type of kid who gets a cold in December at the same time his brothers get the same cold, and Justin will have his cough until may or June while everyone else got rid of their cold a week after getting it, and most of the time he is the only one to even get a cough in the first place. So yesterday he got antibiotics again, hopefully they help him this time. But what I really wanted to know when we went in there was WHY this happens to him. Yes, thank you for the medicine but I want to know why every year he has a nasty chest cough for month after month. I asked The Doctor that exact question and he dodged around it. I know Justin doesn't get pneumonia every year, since I have brought him to the doctor time after time for this cough of his. Other reasons for his cough in the past have been a sinus infection, allergies (which he doesn't really have), could be asthma but he isn't wheezing right now, and now pneumonia- twice within 5 weeks??? I think that they really don't have any idea, and I am getting irritated that they won't answer my question. It's like the doctors can only focus on what is right in front of them and won't think in the big picture. Argh.

So, I think we will just have a relaxing day around the house. Justin will watch TV most of the day and that will be OK for today. He can let his medicine kick in and when he feels better, we will go play and do all of the fun things that we talked about. Ryan will walk around and play and jabber in my ear and make me laugh at his cute little voice saying words. I will use my new cleaning supplies and it will be a pretty simple day after all.

On a different note... I have been saying how much I want to get out with the boys and show them different things. I am talking about things like going to baseball/football games, but also to plays, museums and musical events too!  So yesterday, on PBS, they showed a commercial for a Magic Tree House musical that is coming to town. Justin heard the commercial and told me about it (cute- he is looking out for his big brother who LOVES the Magic Tree House books) and squealed because he recognized the name. I really want to bring Andy and Justin to this! Ryan is still too energetic to sit through something like this but the older two would LOVE it! I think that would be the best birthday present ever...a nice day out watching the boys have fun (hint hint hint hint!!!!), while Ryan had some special '"Ryan only" time with whoever was watching him that day! It would be their first little musical and I think they'd have fun. I hope they would anyway...I mean that's the whole point, right??

So, I think I am done rambling. I will be posting some pictures soon! We went to Under Water World (or did they change it to Under Water Adventures???) So I will be putting pictures from that up here...the downer is that the battery to our camera died before we even got out of the tunnel so I didn't get the bazillion pictures that I normally would have. But we will go back and I will be prepared with a fully charged battery next time!  I also have lots of little videos that I need to get on here, but I think they are all too big- so maybe not? I will have to see what I can do.
Alright, there is a little boy sitting next to me with a diaper that is just screaming to be changed- even though it doesn't bother Ryan too much :) Peeeeeeeewwwwwweeyyy. How can someone so cute have a butt that smells sooooo bad??
