An Update and a Challenge

First I wanted to update everyone on the status of our health ... we just can't keep the temperatures down! Just when I start to think things are looking up for one kiddo another one heads downhill! I thought we finally had Ashton under control today (staying below 100) and then she was back up to 101.5 by bedtime. Brinley finally came below the 100 degree mark only to be back up to 101.9 (she hit as high as 104.1 last night). Cougar hit the 102.8 mark just before bed, too. We've been through 2 bottles of Motrin in 3 days. I feel like all I am constantly checking temperatures - I'm surprised I haven't had to change the batteries in my thermometer yet! Looks like a trip to the doctor is in order for tomorrow and we are anticipating strep throat (based on the looks of things). At least we will have a diagnosis and then we can treat it. Only problem now is Steve woke up to chills and aches today - Oye!!

I took some needed time to myself today - without a thermometer or medicine dropper in hand - to scrap! There was a challenge posted over on our message board at Jessica Sprague to do a scraplift of this layout. I used some of the pictures from the Hannah Montana concert to complete this one. It is really simple but I like the way it turned out. I really want to try and complete some type of scrapping challenge each week. There are so many challenge blogs and message boards at different digi sites as well as our MB at JS that post multiple weekly challenges so it should be easy to find something to work on. Don't worry ... you'll get to see ;)
