It's a crazy life

The last 2 weeks have been a little "crazy" around the Moffat home. With 3 of the 5 kids getting sick and the grand opening of my Facebook store. Crazy Mama's Hair Accessories and more We have been a little busy. Here are some of the high lights from the last month or so. This is just a sample of the items you can find at our store. I am trying my best to keep my store afforadable to all. I would love to hear what you think. This last week was kind of hard on one little girl. Mylee had been sick for almost 2 weeks with what we call the crud. Her tubes had been draining and she was still not getting better so last Thursday, March 10th we took her to the doctor to see if there was anything going on besides the crud. They tested her for RSV, FLU and strep it all came back negative. We were happy thinking all was OK she did have an ear infection that was not going away so the doctor prescribed Mylee an antibiotic cephalexin. Mylee took her first dose Thursday night and seemed fine. But by Friday night we had noticed a rash threw her hair and all over her main body. Fist thought was a contact rash when we call the doctor. So we gave her one more dose. After a sleepless night again as she had not slept well Wednesday, Thursday and now Friday night. I thought nothing of it. At 5:30 am Saturday morning after being up with her for over an hour I turned on Dora and let her watch it. I left the room so she would not want mom. 30 minutes later I found her asleep on the floor. I must say she does not look confortable. If only I had realized that she was breaking out in a rash inside and out. When she woke up we ended up taking her to the ER for her rash. It was so bad that she had to be put on steriods and breathing treatments along with zantac for her tummy. Poor girl. She is now offically allergic to Penicillin and Cephalexin to major antibiotics. Made for along week end. I just can wait to not have to give her meds again. She still has an terrible cough. On top of it all in the last 2 weeks she has cut all 4 top teeth. She is now up to 7 teeth. Yes we are still breastfeeding but some days I wish she would wean. Just over a week ago Marcus was invited with some stars of his school to lead the pledge at the City council meeting. They even took their pictures with the mayor. He thought it was great. March 2nd was Dr. Seuss' Birthday. Madison for school was asked to dress up like her favorite Seuss thing. We did Cindy Lu hoo. I think she looked great. Mylee had to dress up to and she is the Birthday bird. People all over had to comment on how well she looked. She had fun. With it. The following week. They had the Cat and the Hat at story time. Madison was on cloud 9. Mylee was not sure what to think. Plus she was not feeling the best. Over all we have had a crazy busy March so far. So happy that most are happy and healthy now. We are looking towards Miles 11th Birthday and to the start of Baseball season in April. May we all count our many blessings and be grateful for what we have. In the wake of Japan. We thank our lucky stars that we are still here and have all our kids and family. Our hearts and prayers go out to all affected by all that is going on in Japan. For all who have lost family, homes and more.

We are into everything

Blue and gold banquet
Whats that in her mouth? Yumm Yumm
Oh NO have we found the dog food.
Down the hatch. Now you know what is in her mouth.
This is what Mylee was doing why we were cleaning the kitchen. I think Mylee spells trouble.

Life

Tonight as a joke for my kids I frosted the cookie with "mom rocks" and told them if they wanted a cookie they had to agree with the statement on the cookie. They all had cookie even sweet Mylee.
I never would have done this with my first few kids but maybe because she is #5 and so far from the rest of the group in age is seems sad to have them have a treat and not her.
She loved every bit o her cookie.
Love her face and looking at me. Of course a bath after her treat. Have to love the wash room sink. Rinsed her off and then threw her in the tube with Madison. by the way tonight was the night that Mason and Marcus thought it was good to flood the bathroom when they were in the tube (not at the same time) I had water on every wall and even the ceiling.
Pulling up to everything. She loves to cruise around it all.
Learning to climb steps. Story time is so much fun now.
Sink bath after last nights dinner.
At dinner times most nights now we strip Mylee down and let her feed her self some mashed up food. She loves it. I don't remember having a kid beside Madison who would do semi-solids this early.

Poor Mylee

Yesterday Mylee had her first and hopefully her last sugary of her life. She had tubes put in both ears in hopes that it will help her hearing. She also had her skin tag partially removed. If you look closely you can see 2 hospital bands. Due to complications and tons of bleeding 5 hours post op we had to take Mylee to the ER to have her ear looked at. After many more bleeding problems last night I am happy to say that she is full of smiles and seems to be doing great today considering all that she has been threw.
After having blood all over her clothes and blankets Mylee came home from the ER in the hospital warming blanket. She was exhausted from the blood loss and all the screaming. She spent most off Yesterday as a diaper baby. Yes before you as we do have 4 other kids and I look forward to blogging about them just Mylee has had a lot of big things going on lately. Big brothers and big sister are doing great. Had great grades and are loving winter but are really ready for spring.

Mylee meet Kong Zhu

Mylee loves to play with Madison's Pink and White Zhu Zhu pet but yesterday Mason's kong Zhu came by and she screamed like we have never heard her scream before. She still likes the pink and white one but the black one is scary.

Tie Dye fun

In between Laundry, cross guarding, baby, stores and driving kids around I was able to make this little cute number for Mylee.
She looks like such a big girl. She is 8 months old today.
The outfit is part of a $5 craft challenge. I would love to win as I could use the prizes, but it was just fun to see what I can do with only $5. Look close and you can see Mylee's 3 baby teeth on the bottom
Just love how she crawls. Hands and feet to belly and up again like a little inch worm.
I even did the head band and bow for the challenge. Just love this little girl. She really can light up a room with her smile.
