Is this a mischief face or what???

Today at our playgroup the kids got to dress up in their costumes. This is the only picture I took before they all took their costumes off, not sure why it was only 94 degrees out. The UPS man, Snow White and The Boxer. When I asked Kendal if she had fun she said, "fun with Miss Michele, Riley Beau and Royce."

Grammie came to visit Twinkles and me on Monday. We went to the fabric store (which Kendal loves BTW) and just hung out. Harley definitely wanted to be a part of things but she better think fast with Ms. Kendal. Nice TCU collar Harley!

Kendal's/Beckett's recent funny comment

Mommy, "ok we're going to go in the store quick before the movies so we're not late"

Kendal, "I think it would make more sense to go after the movie"

Mommy, "Don't forget we do not run in stores/restaurants, etc we only outside, okay?!"

Kendal, "what about in cars? It's interesting because where's the room?"

Kendal, "does everyone die in heaven?"

I tried to put Becks in a button up shirt the other day...

Beckett - "No, mommy I want to wear a cool shirt"

He proceded to pick out his skateboard t-shirt

Natural Health Remedies for Children

Fresh Ginger Tea for Car Sickness
"Ginger stops the stomach contractions that tell your child's brain he feels nauseous," says Dr. McClafferty. For children ages 2 and older, add a teaspoon of shredded fresh ginger to four ounces of boiling water, and let it steep for four to five minutes. You can add a bit of honey to make it taste better. After it has cooled, have your child drink it a half hour before getting into the car.

Your Blow-Dryer for Swimmer's Ear
This painful inflammation of the outer ear traps liquid and possibly bacteria. If the area has become infected, your pediatrician will probably prescribe antibiotic drops. But for mild cases, you can try evaporating the trapped water by standing a foot away from your child and aiming the dryer -- on the warm (not hot) setting -- at her ear, says Dr. Beard.

A Bandanna for Headaches
Wrapping several ice cubes in a dish towel will help soothe your child's head pain (never place ice directly on his skin because it'll burn), but it'll be hard for him to hold it in place for long, says Dr. Beard. To keep the towel-wrapped ice from slipping, press it against his forehead or temples and secure it with a bandanna tied at the back of his neck.

Bubble Wand for Anxiety
Breathing slowly and deeply will help your child relax when she's feeling stressed, says Lonnie Zeltzer, MD, director of the pediatric pain program at Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA and author of Conquering Your Child's Chronic Pain. Have your child blow long, slow streams of bubbles from the soapy wand.

Chamomile Tea for Colic
Peter Rabbit's mother fed him soothing chamomile tea in Beatrix Potter's classic tale, and you can give it to your infant to relax her intestinal muscles and calm her down, says Dr. McClafferty, a pediatrician in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Steep tea for four to five minutes, let it cool to room temperature, and then put one to two ounces in a bottle. Don't give your baby more than four ounces a day so that she'll be sure to have plenty of room in her tummy for breast milk or formula.
