Horrible Itchy Hives!

As most of you know the hives are horrible itchy things. I think I've only had them once or twice but my daughter gets them all the time(I think she takes after her aunt Bri.). Today when I picked her up from school she went through the regular routine of telling me about school and never said a thing about itching. When we got home she sat by me and started itching, her legs were so dry so I told her to put on some lotion. She came back still scratching, but with moisturized legs I saw them. All 500 thousand million little red splotchy bumps on her. She was covered head to toe in hives. They were EVERY WHERE! I hurried and gave her a benadryl and covered her in cortisone. Needless to say we have a major school project due tomorrow that we were already behind on due to the lovely strep throat. Any way we had a great time trying to stay awake in order to due homework. Real Pepsi (thanks to grandpa's stash) cookies and churros, anything with sugar. Well she stayed awake about half way through until she crashed in her book. Yep my daughter hit yet another milestone- Studying so hard you fall asleep in your book no matter what is due. I got a picture, but with new phones haven't figured out my sims card. When I do I'll get it on here.

Thanks to Grandparents!

On Labor Day the Flagstaff Aquaplex opened. Ever since Lou has been bugging us to take her. We have always came up with an excuse, like why go to an indoor pool when the weather is so nice and we have one two blocks away. She finally gave up until she found out her cousins, Mary and Helen, were coming up from Phoenix and Grammy was looking for something to do with them. Needless to say Grammy took them and they had a wonderful time swimming, rock climbing, and even went back for more swimming tonight. Thank goodness for Grandparent's. Our kids got blessed twice with amazing Grandparent's on both sides. Without them there would be no aquaplex or swing. (The swing was built with Grandpa on Labor Day as a trade off because there was no way we were going to go opening day). Thanks Grammy, Pappy, Grandma and Grandpa for being the Worlds Greatest Grandparents.

Sickie Lou Lou.

On Saturday night I was writing how well Leks was doing in school and we hadn't had any sickness. Well let's just say that was a lie because at the same time at her Grammy's she was having a high fever and a sore throat. I was totally unaware of this until Sunday night when she got home and had a fever of 103 and a red throat. We took her to the Dr. on Monday and sure enough...Strep Throat. So after being absent for three days to go to the Lake, she got another 2 days off. She was very happy to be back at school today. All who know my daughter can probably picture us trying to do everything but tie her to the bed for her to get better. I finally stopped giving her Motrin so she would just lay down and quit running around like crazy. I don't think she was the only one going crazy, I'm not sure how many new dances she made up(while in her costume) to the same song "I Will Survive", which played over and over. I just kept praying that I would survive. We did find out she wants to take dance again and that she loves being home alone and thinks she's big enough to watch Brax. I'm thinking another couple of years!!!! Aleksia wanted to fix a crisis of people not being sure of her costume. So just to clear up the costume, she is a..............
