Totter's Otterville

Danny is off on Thursdays right now. Because it is not election season, his department is working 4 - 10 hour days. Yesterday afternoon we made a very last minute decision to head to Covington last night. We got to our hotel in time to swim for a little while before bed. Today we got up early and headed to Totter's Otterville. It is a large indoor play area with lots of fun stuff for the kids to do. The girls enjoyed dressing up, playing in the water table and ball pit, doing crafts, looking at the animals and doing ballet! After we left Totter's we headed to LaRosa's for mommy's favorite pizza!!! I will post pictures as soon I can. After a full day the girls were exhausted and were actually both asleep by 9:00 which doesn't happen often around here!

Sick, Sick, Sick

We just can't get well. As you can tell by her not so happy face in this picture, Olivia has been a sick little girl this week. She was having a very difficult time breathing on Tuesday night so we called the PAA nurse line. After talking with a super helpful nurse who gave us some great strategies to help her breathing, we decided to wait until the next morning to go to the doctor. On Wednesday morning she was diagnosed with severe croup and an ear infection. The doctor gave her a breathing treatment (which was not fun), a round of steroids and an antibiotic. She has had a rough time recovering and is just now getting back to her normal self. Our plans to take a family trip to Kings Island and the zoo this weekend have been put on hold which is disappointing and last night the dreaded feeling that I have been fighting for a week now surfaced. I am sick! I feel awful. I went to the doctor today and got some medicine. He thinks we caught it before it got bad and hopefully with some rest, I will be back to normal in time to enjoy a little bit of fall break. Please say a prayer for us!!!
