This week has been quite the week. It started off last Friday when Ava came down with a fever. She was lethargic and since it was Friday I decided she had better see the doctor before the weekend. I took Melissa too because she had what looked like the chicken pox. The doc said that it was viral for both of them. He said Ava was starting what Melissa had. He said to rotate motrin and tylenol every 3 hours to keep the fever away. So that's what I did for 5 days until I was so sick of her fever never breaking. I called back on Wednesday and the doc wasn't in so I spoke to his nurse. She said to continue with the meds and call the next day. Well that night I accidentally missed a dose of tylenol and her fever spiked to 104.3. I called yesterday and he called in a prescription for amoxicillin. We started her on it last night and while she still has a slight fever, she's a lot more perky than before. We went through almost an entire bottle of motrin and of tylenol on her. She hasn't eaten much either so I'm sure she's down from her normal 28 lbs. I'm just relieved she's feeling better.
Earlier this week Melissa was out playing in the front yard with William. I heard her screaming so I ran out and her mouth was bleeding. I felt to see if her teeth were loose but they weren't. Then I realized she put her teeth through her top lip. This picture looks like her face is dirty but it's where the teeth hit her lip. She's a busy little girl. She's been walking for over 4 months now but still has a hard time with her balance so she falls on a regular basis.
William went to the pumpkin patch with his preschool class. Ava would have gone too but was too sick. This picture is of what he brought home. He only wanted the mini pumpkin and the gourd. Thank goodness his teacher picked out a regular pumpkin for Ava. I guess they'll look cute together on the porch.
Lastly, this is a picture of our new fleet. The business bought some atv's/utv's for renting next season. We got them through my brother-in-law Tony's dealership called Moab Powersports. He hooked us up pretty well. Thanks Tony & Audra! I can't tell you how much fun they are to drive. Nathan & I got the polaris ranger crew that seats six for our family. I complained a little bit because I wanted a mini-van instead but I am so glad we got the ranger. It has been so much fun. Too bad it's cold now and we won't be able to ride it much until the spring. I figure when my car breaks down I'll still get that mini-van:)
