Has she had her tonsils removed that took out mine no more Strep

No she hasn't..they wont til they've had strep three times in a calendar year..this is her 3rd time but since we are leaving in a week I'm not pushing it..but I will once we are back!

 

[annmarieda]

oh no! At least you caught it now... rather than even closer to the trip. Strep is not fun!

yep..caught it early because I am now an expert.. she had it ( and scarlett fever) in Jan and March and Taejan had both in Feb.. I can tell a strep throat a mile away now... there is a strep specific color it gets!

So we cleaned out the blue van ( we have a 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan crew..that is blue so we call it blue van, and we have a 2005 Chrysler Town n country that is red and we call it red van..lol) and packed the food and the 2 boxes of toiletries and such ( for 7 people mind you..gone 18 days). We bring light snacks for the resort and soda so we don't always have to go fill up our mugs. Anything we don't use will just come to Georgia with us as we always buy groceries for our time with my friend.

oh and DVD's...we have an overhead DVD player and a portable one. I'm mean and don't let them watch TV the whole 21+ hour drive..lol

My kids costumes are done! I would LOVE a little input on my 10 year olds though.. I want to write something on his shirt that's witty about being the mouse's prisoner but my brain is fried..anyone?

The 7 year is an Imagineer

The 8 year old is? not really sure..but she looks cute eh?

and the 10 year old is a prisoner..

Are you going to make him a placard to wear like in a mug shot with his 'crime' because that could be very funny?
