What's the best thing about braids...

...the curly hair when the braids come out. Tara is in love with her hair today. Reilly told Tara, "You look like a different girl." Her little (boy) friend Mason came in to talk to her for a minute and when he left Tara turned to me and said, "I'm surprised he recognized me." After that, Mason had an excuse to come back several times. When he would leave, I would smile at Tara and she would grin. I told her that I think Mason likes you. She giggled and agreed. Here is a peak at her hair today. She was actually only outside for a moment since we were getting into the van. We went to the doctor this morning for the third time this month. She has had an ear infection in the left ear since the beginning of this month. The first antibiotic didn't work so they gave us another one. That one actually wore off this weekend but she still has an ear infection. I took her in today and they tell me its in both ears now and give us a third medication to try. If this one doesn't work, we are off to see an ear, nose, and throat specialist.

When I went outside to take a few pic's, Triston threatened me with a snowball. He told me to quit taking pictures. Geeze, what so wrong with taking pictures?

Triston played outside with the neighbor boys for several hours today. Of course, that meant that they were running in and out all the time. There was always something that they needed or wanted to say. Finally, I told them to quit running in and out. Then, they decided to use the window as a form of communication since they couldn't run in and out anymore.
These kids are always thinking.
