Hand Foot Mouth

We have had a "fun" couple of weeks. It started with Ms. Katurah and a fever, then Zeke with lung issues, Amari with a fever, then Zeke with a fever again...then a strange rash and incredible fussiness for all! After 4 doctors visits we now know Hand Foot Mouth disease was the culprit. I have seriously never seen kids so miserable, I kept telling Jess all they want to do is follow me around the house and cry, stupid doctors.

Zeke still loves cars. He can tell you if they are "plastic" or "diecast." He especially loves his "color changers" and pretends to be making a video while playing with them. He introduces each car "this is Lightning McQueen, he is plastic, he is a nice size. He changes red in hot water and yellow in cold water. You can use your body heat to change him." OBSESSED! The only thing that can compete is "Kenturah" he sure does love that girl. I let someone at church hold her the other week and he was really upset, pacing the pew until she was back with us. I hope he stays protective of her.

 Katurah shared a cone with Grandma, you know just because it felt good on her throat, wink, wink. I finally got sick of the baby hair and cut it...she is officially done with the communist party. Today she was playing with Zeke and I swear she was saying "geekie" over and over. She did it again tonight when he was next to her...first word?

 Pantera is now on summer break. Due to the sick kiddos and procrastination I feel completely unprepared. She is such a social creature that staying cooped up with us while we wait out the rest of this illness just might do her in (ok actually it might do me in). I can't believe how much one person can talk in a day, I really think she might be close to some record. And now that she is the proud owner of my old cell phone she can talk even when she is not talking. She figured out how to record herself and literally sits and listens to herself talk and sing over and over and over and over and...

 Here is Amari in all her rash glory! She is so cute and she knows how to use that to her advantage. She is currently sitting up with me watching My Little Pony, it's midnight here. She was so sweet when she asked to be by me, sometimes I just can't say no. She is such a mother hen and a really great helper. The other day we were eating something and I hadn't noticed that I spilled some on myself. She ran to the kitchen, grabbed a towel and started wiping off my shirt.

 What a rad visor right?!?

 Mater...the more cars pictures we have the more interesting our blog is, duh.
