Busy day off

-Started the day off with a 3 mile run. Darren has decided to run the half marathon with me in May. Training has gone well. Both my knees hurt now, but no pain no gain.
-Got myself and kids ready for the day.
-Cleaned up a little.
-Made mac'n'cheese for lunch.
-Went to the doctor for Cole. He had a ton of snot this morning and had been pulling at his right ear. I got the yeah OK lady babies pull at ears look. Low and behold, he had an infection in his right ear. The dr. just chuckled when he saw I was right. His RSV hasn't gotten better. More breathing treatments for him and Chloe and lots of medicine. He is now on allergy meds, a steroid and antibiotics. He is in good spirits though.
-Got the kids hot chocolate on the way home.
-Dropped Cole off at home for a nap with the boys and Chloe.
-Ry and I snuck to the mall for a few things. It was a quick but fun trip. She was excited to get a new sweater and some earrings.
-Picked everyone up so we could meet the Swinn's and Amanda's dad, Tom at the Shark Reef. Learned a lot and had fun. Chloe had a meltdown or two at the end of the visit.

It took a little coaxing to get Luke to touch the sting ray. I had to touch it first. Not something I usually do. It was pretty cool though.

Here is the Coco boy. You can tell he doesn't feel so hot. He was a good sport though.

I thought this was cute. They were trying to see sharks and sea turtles down there.

A normal Mecham family picture.
-Went to Macayo's for dinner.
-Picked up Cole's meds.
-Got kids into bed way too late.
-Gave Cole all his meds. He then threw them up after gagging on something he got in his mouth from the carpet. I swear we vacuumed today!
-Changed him, gave him a breathing treatment and gave a little tylenol
and off to bed for him.
-Now I gotta get to my laundry!

You are brave to be doing a marathon with your knee. Good for you for not giving up or letting that stop you! So is that what my life will be like with more kids. Non stop all day long? Cause right now I am lucky and I have a few breaks during the day while Lana takes her naps.

Poor Cole! He's such a little trooper though. The Shark Reef looked fun. Last time I took Dax he cried anytime a fish swam past him in the tank:)

You are such a busy momma. What a non-stop day! I love the Shark Reef. It is once of the best places to visit in Vegas. I'm sad to hear that Cole is still sick. I hope he's feeling better soon.

Way to go Darren, 1/2 Marathon. I am thinking about a mini triathalon. Cole is probably the happiest baby in the entire Mecham family. Chloe obviously used up all of the honery genes. Hope he feels better
