Pinkin' It
Well today is the 15th day that we've had pink eye in the house & it's getting old. I haven't gone anywhere except to take Hyrum to school in the last 15 days & although I'm a homebody 15 days is kinda long. Dallen & I were the last ones to get it. He got it for a day & I'm going on my 7th day looking like this guy. Well minus the dreadlocks & goatee. And the red part is actually on the whites of my eyes but you get the idea.
Here are some pictures of the last couple of weeks. There wasn't any park-going so we played a lot in our yard, in the house, & wore our pj's almost non-stop.
I have to say how grateful I am for my two oldest boys. I don't know what I'd do without them & I need to tell them that more often. Hyrum can get the twins out of their beds, he can pour milk & cereal for breakfast & get himself completely ready for school. All I need to do is teach him how to change diapers & I could sleep in when school is out :) He also buckles the twins in their car seats.
Hunter makes his own ham sandwich, gets snacks & water for all the kids, puts movies on by himself & polices the twins when I'm nursing. I know I shouldn't let him do that but it really does help. If Emma snatches from Justin he helps give the toy back etc. And he always lets me know if they're, say, eating toothpaste or doing something illegal around here. Hunter & Dallen already have a special bond I think. Hunter is the only one of the other kids that Dallen will smile, coo & giggle at. He loves Hunter & when he hears his voice he tries to find him. Whenever Dallen starts fussing or crying I've watched & Hunter stops whatever he's doing (even if it's watching a movie, playing cars or legos etc.) & will try to cheer him up. It usually works too.
What would we do without legos
Or nest building I don't know
Handsome
Bath time! (Should be doing the dishes time too I guess)
Sigh...I am in love with this kid...it's so fun to have a baby in the house!
Here is a video for the grandparents

So sorry about the pink eye. That totally stinks.
Oldest kids are amazing. Couldn't have done the last little while without Anne and Andrew. Andrew is my Saturday morning nanny. He gets up with Jackson so I can sleep in a bit. I am so grateful for those extra minutes of sleep.
Hope the pink eye leaves soon. Did you see an optometrist at all? They have great eye drops and an ointment that clears up the eye in 24-48 hours. I forget what it is called--it has a steroid in it. Neomycin? Lee and I both got pink eye about two weeks ago and thankfully he had some on hand. Of course he could have written me up a prescription too, ha ha. Glad that all is well! Dallen is SO cute!!! Hope you all can get out soon!
The eyes are no better?!! Ruth's idea sounds good to me! Darling pictures of your sweet family, we knew where they were in each shot (couldn't say that a month ago). LOVED the video. When Jeremy made that sound, Dallen almost laughed. So, so cute, thanks for sharing.
