Our house has felt a little like a sick bay the past few days.
Last Friday I took Breckin to the dr. and he was put on antibiotics for a sinus infection.
Sunday I was really feeling awful, so I went to Des Moines to a walk in clinic and I was put on antibiotics for sinus infection.
So, I was not surprised when Dixon came down (but shouldn't it really be up?) with a fever of 102.
Yesterday I ran him to the dr and he has strep.

In the middle of all of this on Wednesday when Adam had class and I was home with the boys, I was in Dixon's room tending to him. When I went out to the kitchen, I smelled the distinct and overwhelming smell of pine-sol and saw Breckin soaking wet.
Yes, he had given himself a bath in pine-sol. I stuck my nose in his mouth to comfirm that he indeed did have the pine-sol in his mouth.
So I made a call to my friends at Posion Control. Who I haven't called since I caught Dixon with a mouthful of dog food. Who are awesome, by the way. A real person answers with in two rings and they called back a 1/2 hour later to check on him.
The told me that pine oil is the most dangerous ingredient in Pine-Sol and it could cause him to go in and out of conscienceness , but he would probably be ok. Reassuring, right?
He continued to run like a wild man all night, so it was determined to have no effect on him, just on his mom's mother of the year status.

Lately, Dixon has been really into Mario and Luigi Little Weegie. He has been adamant that is what he wants to be for Halloween. Even thought I already had their costumes, last night I ran to Des Moines to get the cutest Mario and Luigi costumes for the boys, complete with stick on mustaches.
Just wait for it.
