The Jones Girls

This morning Amanda and Savannah woke up with green, weepy. swollen and goopy eyes.    I had to wash their eyes with a warm, soft wash cloth.  Amanda was tugging at her ear.  Uh oh…are we dealing with an ear infection AND pink eye? 

I took the girls to the dr. today.   Yep, they have conjunctivitis in their eyes and the doctor prescribed antibiotic eye drops and antibiotics for Amanda’s ear infection.

The dr. noticed Savannah had a little scar tissue in her ears and asked if Savannah had a lot of ear infections when she was a baby – nope, not that I can recall.   I recall RSV followed with asthma related lung issues.

It is looking like all of the girls are starting to catch this respitory virus – aack!

Savannah has always been a fabulous dental patient.  I am so proud of her!

Well those pesky little cavities reared their ugly little heads – all 3 of them.   I am going to take her to see Uncle Ned for a 2nd opinion and if he says that they require fillings, then I will have him do them.  I trust my kids teeth to Uncle Ned.

Today was a gorgeous day!!   Sunny blue warm skies.  A great day for a Valentine’s party!!  I baked heart shaped Valentines cookies for the kids to decorate in the afternoon.

I arranged to surprise the girls and have a bouncy house delivered for them to play in today.    When the bouncy house was set up, the girls freaked and screamed with joy.   They all ran out and immediately dove into the jumper!!   

I also invited my friend Corrie and her kids too. Her kids didn’t know about the bouncy house so when they arrived, they were totally surprised!!

I had pizza delivered and we had ice cream sundaes for dessert.

What a great Valentine’s Day!!

Savannah’s school was selling cute Pinwheel Valentine’s that were available for purchase all of this week.    I ordered 5 of them, one for Savannah, 4 for her best friends in Kindy and one for her teacher.  The Pinwheel Valentine’s would be delivered to Savannah, her friends and her teacher today.

Savannah had a Valentine’s Exchange in her classroom today.   She brought Littlest Pet Shop Valentines, goody bags filled with candy and a huge heart shaped crazy straw. She brought Sally Field chocolate chip cookie tin for her teacher along with a heart shaped wind chime.

She recieved lots of fun Valentines stuff.    She received a Valentine’s Pinwheel from a boy named Austin in her class!!  Oh boy!!

Today was the triplets very first Valentine’s party at their preschool.  Their teacher made really cute valentine’s baskets with a love bug and a picture of each student.  They were brilliantly constructed out of cereal boxes.  Really, really cute!   These were used for the Valentine’s exchange.

I brought heart shaped valentine’s cupcakes.    They had all sorts of yummy goodies today at their party.

TherThe triplets had to each bring their own Valentine’s for every student…that made 30 in all!!   They wanted Pet Shop Valentine’s.  The triplets gave out goodie bags with coloring books, crayons, candy a toys.

They had a blast!!  I took lots of pictures.  They wore cute pink tutu dresses with diamond sparkles.    They looked beautiful!

Boy this is going to be a very busy Valentine’s season for us this week!

I organized a Children’s Valentine’s party for the La Habra Moms Club at Red Robin.   All of the kids get to make and decorate their own sundaes and do a Valentine’s exchange.  

The girls brought goody bags with Littlest Pet Shop Valentines, Valentine’s pencils with cute boa feathers on the end and cute heart shaped erasers.    They were so cute!!

There were about 28 kids at the party today and about 15 moms,  It was a big party..woo hoo!!

Today Savannah was off of school in observance of Lincoln’s Birthday.  So today I planned a fun day for the girls at La Brea Tarpits.

I negotiated a discount group rate for La Habra Moms Club.   About 12 other children and 6 other moms joined us.  It was a lot of fun.

The girls got to see skeletons of saber tooth tigers, mammoth elephant, and all sorts of different prehistoric animals.    We saw a very interesting educational film about the theory of how the prehistoric animals got stuck in 4 inches of tar and how they ceased because they couldn’t get themselves out of the tar because it was so sticky.  We also saw a real excavation in action!  It was about 20 feet deep and they had an observation deck.

Afterwards, my friend Corrie and her kids came over for lunch and a play date.  It was a fun day!
