Luckily it's not too bad though! We still have a lot of snotty noses, a few coughs, and Scott was super sick. He had ear infections that worked its way down his throat. So, his sinuses were a mess! He had to miss work on Thursday and Friday. He's feeling lots better now! I thought we were doing okay, until pretty fast after Scott dropped Cecilia off at nursery. I see her coming toward me and one of the leaders says she has pink eye. Her eyes were goobery, but my kids' eyes always do that when they get a cold. So, Cecilia, Josh and I went home. They didn't mind. No one is throwing up, so I'm a very happy camper! I'm feeling pretty happy about that with all of the flu going around. NOT THE FLU, ANYTHING BUT THE FLU!!! I hate it when my kiddos are sick, and the flu is miserable! Anyway. We had fun with the Pinewood Derby. I had the opportunity to make all of the awards. So, I bought a container of air dry clay and a spray can of silver metallic paint, and tiny cars (for printing). I made a ton of medals using the bottom part of a cupcake pan. Then I poked a hole in each using a corn cob holder and stamped each with the cool looking race car. After a few days they were dry enough to paint, so I did. If I had had more time (and money). I would have stamped the sayings in them (or the boys' names) and coated with a glossy clear spray. Oh well, the Sharpie worked well on most! I also made four cars for trophies. Fun times! I really like clay! Check out the results!
Ben decorated the little one and was very disappointed that he didn't win it!

Obviously I forgot to take pictures of the medals. I have spares, so not a problem.

Eating her cool cake, no I didn't make it (remember I was feeling rotten).
Ben is being Big Bird.
I LOVE reviewing things, and Monkeez and Friends actually gave me one for EACH kid! How awesome is that? Usually I have to choose one kiddo to get something to review, so this was fantastic! They all love them, a little too much even.
This was after his first couple of races, so there was no longer a beak on his Peregrine Falcon/Perry the Platypus.
My handsome lil' man today wearing his outfit that I got for $1 yesterday. I LOVE great sales! And cute babies/kiddos!
