CRAZY !!

This past week and a half has been crazy for the Swain kids. Boston had a double ear infection that we were treating with antibiotics, 5 days later he had a reaction to them. The reaction presented itself as a nasty skin virus called Erythema Multiforme. It is the ugliest thing I have ever seen. After these pictures were taken it got much, much worse. He started running a fever and at one point was lifeless and lethargic. His entire body, with the execption of his face had welts that were bright red with white centers and then later turned purple. The appearance of it in some spots looked like bruises. Not at all what you want to see on your baby. After all of this Kaitlyn came down with pink eye, and when we took them to their check-up appointment, Boston had another double ear infection which they treated with a mean little shot that we had to repeat 2 days later.
FUN TIMES!

Kaitlyn with Shirley Temple hair.....

This is what happened to Kaitlyn's hair when we attempted tying it in rags. WHOA! She said, "mom I look like that one girl from the movies." I replied with "what girl?" She said "Shirley Temple." I told her she was absolutely right.

We celebrated Boston's 1st and Kaitlyn's 5th birthday today. They both enjoyed opening their presents and had fun with family. As you can see Boston did not hesitate getting in to his birthday cake......what a mess!

February 4, 2009....Kaitlyn's 5th Birthday

Kaitlyn, her BFF Kate and I spent the day together having a blast. We went to Jumpin' Jacks and they spent almost 2 hours playing, sliding and bouncing themselves into a sweat. Then we went to McDonalds for lunch and played some more. And finally we ended up at Hello Kitty where they picked out some party favors. They were so tired on the way home they barely said two words to eachother. It was a great day.
