Thankful for medicine and fire trucks!

This Thanksgiving season I am thankful for ….antibiotics! Just kidding, well... sort of!
In the past two weeks, all three guys in the house have been sick and been on all sorts of medicines. I think I could probably qualify for a pharmacist at this point! Justin had been fighting a bad cold for a month and a half (yes, you read that right, 1 ½ months!) I finally convinced him after about 3 weeks of begging, to go to the doctor before Thanksgiving and sure enough he had bronchitis. Not to mention the fact that he has severely hurt his ribs from coughing so much that they put him on codeine as well! Payton had a cough that was keeping him up, so he went to the doctor and was found to have a sinus infection! Now Easton is on meds for a severe case of pink eye! I think they are all on the upswing though and hopefully (knocking on my desk) they will be all better soon!
We had a good Thanksgiving and celebrated it low-key at my moms, and of course she made Justin his favorite pie! We were going to go and see the Plaza lights, but Justin was pretty miserable and it was too cold for the kids, so we just stayed at her house and watched it on tv instead. Payton was very upset, but I promised him that we would go and see lots of lights sometime before Christmas. On Friday, we got to go to a fire station! My mom has a friend who is good friends with a fireman and they invited us to come out and see the trucks and Payton got to go on a ride! He loved it! He asked lots of good questions and was very interested in everything. What kid doesn’t like a fire truck! We also got all of our xmas decorations up this past weekend. Easton has been babbling to the tree and lights ever since it went up!
Things are starting to get very crazy busy around here like they always do this time of year. Between a school musical, school Christmas parties, basketball starting and various other holiday activities, we pretty much have something going on or that has to get done almost everyday between now and Christmas! And somehow I have to finish Christmas shopping! (Thank goodness for online shopping!!) I love the holidays, but wow, they are exhausting!!
