So It Is Pink Eye

Miss Bentlee has pink eye again! We started Thursday as any other day except I did notice that one of her eyes was a little crusty when she woke up. I didn't think much of it since we had a huge storm the night before that blew alot of stuff in the air. I had a huge day at work and had to meet the electrician at 9:00 to go over, what else, the electrical stuff in our playroom remodel. Anyway, we got to school and she started eating her breakfast. I mentioned to one of her teachers to let me know if her eye got worse and I would call the doctor. Next thing I know, we are both back in the car and have been sent home with pink eye. I had to go to work so my wonderful husband agreed to stay home with her ALL DAY! And, added bonus, would even take her to the doctor! She got to stay home with mommy on Friday morning and then daddy watched her in the afternoon. She is fine now, just still putting drops in her eye and an antibiotic to stop the beginning on an ear infection her dr. discovered. This weekend is Cotton Palace and I am blogging, as well as stalking other blogs, to help me stay awake until 11:45 when I have to go to Ridgewood and retrieve a dress that I am to babysit overnight! I am actually surprised how hard it is to make myself stay up...it seems like last week in college when we were leaving the apartment to go out at 10:30! Wow, have things changed! I am posting a pic of Bentlee's new ride. On Friday, she rode 5 separate times. I would say we are getting our money's worth on this one plus mommy and daddy are getting their exercise! Oh, I bought her a bubble machine and she loves it! She learned to say "bubbles" and now repeats it all the time. I highly recommend this genius invention. It beats getting all sticky and soapy from that wand that you can never get out of the bottle!

Pigtails

My first attempt at pigtails. I thought one ponytail was hard until I tried two!

Welcome Spring!

I really have to become more dedicated to this blog thing. I mean really, I do have an extra five minutes once a week to update. So, what have we been doing since the last post...well Bentlee went to her third wedding that was in Dallas. She did awesome. She stayed up until 10:30pm and was even dancing on the dance floor. She had the best time of us all! She went to two birthday parties which she loved, since it meant that she could have cupcakes and cookies. Miss B will be going this weekend to her first baby shower. My cousin is due in June with a little girl and she is having her first shower on Sunday. Bentlee is very excited to see "baby." Nick and I started the remodel of Bentlee's playroom. Hopefully we can have it done in about 3-4 weeks. I know that is wishful thinking because it always takes twice as long as I expect it to. But here's to wishful thinking! We took the pool cover off and were greeted with lovely green pool water. Oh well, that is why we have the best pool guy in the world! I posted a pic of Bentlee with her hotmitts on her hands. She loves these. She grabbed them out of the drawer and put them on all by herself. I was rolling on the floor laughing and had to take a picture. Too cute! Try to take time out and enjoy the wonderful weather. We bought Bentlee a little pink buggy that has a steering wheel that she sits in and we push around the block. I don't have a picture of her yet, but she puts her sunglasses on and just sits back while we walk around the neighborhood. She looks like such a little diva. I will try to post that picture next time. Well, I will write more soon! Don't I always say that????
