Hi. Well here is our crazy life once again. At beginning of the week we did a science experiment. One of the boys sat under the table while we covered it with blankets. He then told us when it was dark. The goal was to prove that things are the same in the light as in the dark (ie: his stuffed puppy is not a monster) The boys got a kick out of it. Next Ben asked me to take a picture of him under the bed, then Joey wanted one of him so he posed on the bed, and then of course Ben thought that was cool and wanted to do a pose on the bed too. Monday night for our family home evening game we decided to teach the boys how to play Uno and they loved it! It is actually quite fun and I don’t hate playing it with them. We decided to celebrate our family Valentines on Wednesday because Eric worked on Valentines. We have decided as a tradition that we will do a family valentine instead of individual gifts. So we spent the day having fun together. Unfortunately Emily woke up with a very high fever and was lethargic. I actually set her on the couch and she was trying to sleep it off I figured the fever was from the virus the boys have had. I felt so bad for her but with medicine she was fine so we still had our valentine’s day. We started out by going to Burger King. The boys were excited because other than traveling to visit family we don’t go out to eat. While we were their Emily’s ear drum perforated but because it had happened in the past I didn’t think twice about it. Next we went to the bowling alley. Ben had been asking for weeks to go so I had been planning to add it to our V-day experience. The boys had fun but Joey towards half of the game basically got bored and didn’t even want to bowl. I wish that they would allow a kids game to be like 5 frames because we were all kind of burnt out after one game. Pathetic I know. Then we let the kids play in the arcade at the bowling alley. They had a blast playing air hockey with Eric. Notice the game that Eric is playing, I wonder why he decided to play that. We then went to the bookstore and got some books and the kids were happy about that. Last we went to Baskin Robbins. Eric wanted Ben to try some of his ice cream but as you can see he wasn’t interested. Emily fell asleep in the car so she was asleep in my arms. I really wanted her to be awake because I wanted to see her eat her first ice cream cone. Then as we were leaving Baskin Robbins she woke up and I noticed fluid in her other ear which meant that ear drum had perforated. I then put two and two together and knew then that two perforated ear drums and a high fever were connected. I had gone into the pediatrician the day before and he knew she had fluid but felt nothing was infected but asked me to watch it. So I called him and he immediately got her in and put her on antibiotics. One of these days she will clear up. As part of valentines they would have been taken to Chuck E Cheese but a little girl in the ward had invited them to a birthday party so it all worked out. I also found out this week that Emily loves, loves, loves rice! She gets very upset when she runs out. Well I know it was a lot thanks for reading. Love the Edwards Family.
