Pumpkin Patch Between Bouts of Sickness

Here is L. See L. smile. See L. NOT be sick. Yay!

See L. run. See L. run through the maze! Again. And again. And again.

Chugga chugga choo-choo! All aboard!

L and I went with some friends to the Pumpkin Patch last week. It was a much needed time out after X. and L. had been sick for the past two weeks (each taking a week at a time--see, we take turns at our house! Even when it comes to sickness.). L. loved running around with his buddies. He tried a bigger maze with his friend C, but the smaller one was more their size. L's friends really were with him, just not in these pictures. Taking pictures of little active boys is quite a feat--it takes lightning reflexes to capture their cuteness before they're running to something new.

Now we're back in the sickness realm. B. was sick the beginning of the week, and now poor L. is sick again. We're headed to the dr. later today. I've a sneaky suspicion he has strep. I never knew I'd get to wear the nurse's hat so often in my life as a mother!
