breathe, art, truck wash

 9/19-  Boaz had a rough couple days this week.  I thought he'd escaped the strep that Cainan had, but no such luck.  On Monday right after lunch, Boaz's breathing got a little wheezy and he complained that he didn't feel well.  By mid-afternoon he was short of breath and super lethargic.  I had a check-up for Kezia that night anyway, so took Boaz in also.  His oxygen levels were down to 93%.  He had an xray, strep test, blood draw, breathing treatment, and had to get a steroid shot to get his lungs working again.  He was not a happy camper.  He did great with everything but the shot.  The Drs even said that it was a shot that was going to hurt.  (I learned not to tell your kid that he wasn't going to get shots!!)  We did these breathing treatments every 4 hours- through the night even- and for a couple days after.  Thankfully, his oxygen levels came back up and he's doing fine again!!  (We are so thankful for our friend, Dr. Angie!!)

One of the funniest things about this breathing treatment... Boaz couldn't talk while he was sitting there taking it.  It was all he could do to sit there quietly for 5 minutes!!  :)

We are going to host a pumpkin carving competition with our neighbors at Halloween.  This is Boaz's plan for his pumpkin.

And another Boaz drawing.  I'm not sure what this was...

Cainan's pumpkin design.

Cainan is doing papers in Sunday School now!!  Here's the first one he brought home.

I couldn't remember if I'd included this one on the blog before.  Awhile back, Boaz drew me a refrigerator.  He included lots of juice and oranges for me.  (though we rarely have either in our house!)

My Kezia.... just chillin'.

After we did some chores today, the boys got to have a truck wash out on our court.  They are content with a bucket of water and some washcloths.  And man, did their trucks shine afterward!

Missy Miss. Missy Myka. Miss. Miss Myka.  Those are all the nicknames we have for her.  :)
