Well, not much news. Yesterday we were going to run some errands and Isaac decided to play in the front yard before we left. Next thing I know he is screaming and I ran out to see what was wrong. His legs were covered...COVERED in fire ants. I ripped his clothes off of him and ran him in to the tub. Poor little dude. Today he has 27 little yellow-headed bites on his right leg and 40 on his left. We counted. It's crazy. He actually hasn't been scratching too much thankfully. We have tried to put stuff on them when he lets us. I just hope none of them get infected. As long as he doesn't scratch them open we should be ok. I ought to take a picture...
David has to take an apple for school tomorrow. Johnny Appleseed day is this week and they are using the apples for stuff. He was so worried he would have to eat it. I don't think they will make him but perhaps peer pressure will encourage him! :p
Sammy hasn't been sleeping well at all. He is so stuffy that he can't keep his binky in and it makes him mad. I suction his little nose and it really makes no difference. His little face just runs and runs. He projectile spit up all over me at church today. I was covered and so was he. The girl next to me got up and left after he did that. I wondered if it grossed her out or she really just had to leave early...? heehee
Nathan has to be up at 4 tomorrow. He is early flight tomorrow. He will actually be going up in the copters. (Isaac calls them Happyters.) He was suppposed to go up last week but we have been having a lot of rain. I think he is glad to go up but not glad to have to get up so early.
Anywho...that's about it. Not much else exciting going on. We are going to Oktoberfest here on post on Friday night! Whooppee!

p.s. I deleted my first comment so I could rewrite it with my name. Wanted you to know who it was.
Oh man! Not fun for either of those guys huh?! Britt spit up on us in church yesterday too. We made it to the sidewalk outside, but bleh. It's a daily occurence at our house of late, but he'd gone all day the day before without puking and so we forgot I guess. Prior to that it was generally a morning routine of get Britt up, stuff comes up (usually all over both of us) clean it up and go on with the day. Yuck. I also wanted to tell you for stuffy night time noses I use peppermint oil behind the ears. I was nervous to use it on Britt, but it's given me much longer sleep time when he's stuffed up which seems to be most of the time. Anyway, just an idea for you.
Thanks.
Chiska, that's a good idea with the oil. I got one of those SudaCare vapor things you plug into the outlet in their room and then it puts off like a menthol smell. But it's really strong and we can't close their door without asphixiating all 3 of them. :) So I will see if there's anyplace around here that sells the oil.
Oops...now I deleted my own comment....! It accidentally posted twice...goodness....
