My poor Luke has strep throat. He is miserable. Between the pain and the fever he is not "Luker" at all. He has been living off sips of gatorade for 2 days because he just won't eat. I have even tried popsicles and ice cream to no avail. I'm hoping once the antibiotics kick in today or tomorrow, he will start bouncing back to normal.
I know this may sound strange, but this was the first time ever either child has had to take an antibiotic. We are keeping our fingers crossed that it works quickly since he had never been exposed to antibiotics before.

School Supplies
Kindergarten is getting closer. We ordered the backpack this week and now have a sack full of supplies setting in the corner. Dominic is so excited to start school and I'm excited for him. I know that Luke is going to miss his big brother at the babysitter in a few weeks.
He Did It!
Yesterday (while I was at work of course!) Dominic did his first ever successful deep water start with the ski sled. I'm so proud of him for being persistent at achieving this goal. Now we just need to keep working on tying his shoes!

Nine Words Women Use
I saw this on a blog today and it made me smile.
NINE WORDS WOMEN USE
(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes.
Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' .That will bring on a 'whatever')..
(8) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying Screw YOU!
(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous
statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.

Luke's Many Faces
Luke is into making silly faces once again. A silly face must consist of having his tongue out or hands over his face.
Being so onery!
Luke was showing me his squeaky clean teeth!

Dominic Skiing!
We borrowed a ski sled today to see if the kids would like it before buying our own. All the kids did a great job! So I'm now looking for one on-line. Dominic was the only one I have on video so enjoy!

Our "Greatest"
Dominic's baseball season has come to a close. We are all sad to see the season end. Dominic can't wait to play next season and Luke is excited because he will be playing too. I made this little video to capture Dominic's season.
