Doctor and Donuts

Katharine slept with Abi last night, and around midnight Abi sent a voice message and said K was crying about her ear hurting. I could hear K whimpering in the message). So first thing I did at 8am was call the pediatrician to get her in for a sick visit. I was able to get an appointment at 11, so I went to my parents house for a bit to give them our air mattress and help clean before company came (Camilla and fam arrived this afternoon for Graigy's graduation from the U of U on Thursday.) and to drop off Nerf guns for my brother Neil to borrow. Cleaned 9-10, home at 10:15 to pick up K and took her to see Dr. Schmidt. Taking her pulse~

This morning she was fine and said it wasn't hurting, but that's what's been going on for probably the past two week - it bothers her a little at night and then she's fine all day. Last night was the first time it bothered her a lot. Doctor said her ear didn't look bad, it was subtle... it wasn't shiny like a healthy ear drum is supposed to be. 

So they called in some of the pink amoxicillin and we picked it up on the way home. She's taking it through Friday. She took it at noon like a champ and will take it again tonight, twice a day for 5 days. We also went by the library to pick up MoonWalk which I had put on hold. I liked this painting at the library. Looks like the boardwalk around Silver Lake.

Back at home, K watched a little bit of Bluey and fell asleep with Wes. Cute to see siblings taking a nap together...

I went and took a nap too, and then, more basement work! Basement day 3 as part of my lifelong birthday wish. We made great progress. Pic of Wes taking a little break to play legos with Peter after Peter got home from school. I sorted out some of duplo legos to donate. 

Tonight we cleaned the finished side and moved everything around. We moved a bookshelf and the desk over to the unfinished/un carpeted side. Corey came to help with the des, it was heavy. This is going to be my new art area! 

The kids have already gotten paint on the desk, so it's ok if I do too as I work on art through out the next half century. We stayed up a bit late as we kept trying to do "one more thing..." vacuum, move stuff out of this side. Make this nicer. Wesley is going to set up a bed for himself here, and that will also be where the blow up mattress will go when any of the married kids come by. 

We moved one shelf over to the unfinished side, that will be for books and scrapbooks, and this one that we left here (on the left of that pic) is going to be for games. Games have been in the upstairs locked closet and also in the hutch on the main floor. Now they have ONE designated spot, yayyy. So lots of good work done today, then it was time for FHE. Wesley thought it would be fun to have a donut eating contest. 

Rules were - on your back, don't use your hands. 

Natalie helping Katharine - 

After the boys and K were done, then it was the older kids' turn. I cried of laughter seeing the girls do it. Natalie was going ALL IN. She was gonna eat that sugary donut, come what may. Look at Sophi's eyes as Natalie came after her with her open mouth! So funny 

So we got a dozen donuts. Boys and K = 4 donuts. WASN = 4 donuts. Corey Lily and I declined to eat them, so there were 4 left. We turned it into a blindfolded free for all. 

Corey got a video of that. Natalie and Peter were the last donut left, and were got very close to open mouth kissing. This girl was committed - sugar all over her face! It was pretty funny.
