Ballerinas, Robots and Strep Throat


This is the big reveal of the kid's fall fest costumes. Eli wanted to be a robot, so Rob and I put our heads together and this is what we came up with. Eli was super impressed. He likes it when Sarah flicks the switch and he pretends to turn on and off. Very cute. And of course, we have a delicate prima ballerina too. Grammy Dee made the tutu two+ years ago for Sarah's birthday and she thought it would be really fun to wear it this year, along with some ballerina slippers.

Also, Eli came home sick from school on Tuesday, with a slight fever and a sore throat. He laid around on the couch all day yesterday, but seemed a lot better by bedtime. He was up at 5am with a major fever, and vomited the Motrin I gave him. Poor little guy, vomited it so hard that he blew a bunch of blood vessels all around his eyes. I thought he'd developed a rash overnight at first! But we went to the dr this morning, confirming my suspicion of strep, and he's on antibiotics now and hopefully is on the road to recovery.

Now, if we could all just get some sleep!

Totally cute and charming! Where can I get me a tutu like that? Hope Eli is feeling better tomorrow so he can switch on and do robotics! God bless U-NO-Who
