Last nite we went to Evil Granny's.  Her Evil-ness was on pretty good behavior, considering, but you have to wonder about a 90- something year old woman who gets mad at children under the age of 3 for playing with her favorite stuffed animals...

My cousins all were there so that is why we made the treck.  There was Jedi Mel, Boy cousin and his wife, preggo cousin, and their beautiful daughter Jayna, and then there was Number 3 cousin and her VERY dorky boyfriend.  They are my 1st cousins.  Infact Baby Kit is named after their dad.  It was really nice to see them.  It's been awhile.  I told Sam that preggo cousin is growing a cousin in her belly.  Sam liked that.  Sam and Jayna are a year apart and really played well together.  Poor Baby Kit tried to keep up, but he ended up getting toppled on.  He took it in stride.

(Boy cousin also voted for GWB - I am not the only outcast!  Of course the rest of our family thinks we are idoits.  But then we reminded them that we are the only one's in our family procreating, so there will eventually be more of us than them.... LOL!  It is nice that we can agree to disagree and mean it and love each other anyway!  LOL)

I think Jedi Mel and I felt our age as we watched the new "kid's table" generation go play in Evil-Granny's room to get away from the boring adult.  It was a sureal moment when I realized that I was one of the boring adults...

Then today my poor Baby Kit spiked ANOTHER fever.  I called the ped and they are having me bring him in tomorrow.  Yes folks, on a Sunday.  They think it is probably ANOTHER ear infection.  If that is the case, there is some new med that we are to try for 3 months.  If he gets an ear infection on that, the next step is tubes. 

I know the docs have a prodical to go thru, but I just wish they'd give my boy the tubes and let the poor thing feel better.  He was SOOOOO FREAKING CRANKY today.  But his fever was just under 103.  He wouldn't fall asleep tonight, so I got both him and Sam to sleep by laying with them on the sofa and lightly tickling their backs. 

Baby Kit goes to bed first every nite and that is when Sam and I have "special time" which is just mommy and Sam time.  Because Baby Kit was feeling badly, this ran into Sam's time and she got upset.  So the sofa thing made everyone happy.  Don't get me wrong, Sam is GREAT with Kit, but she looks forward to our special time together.

Ben just got home after another Sat double.  So he is tired.  I am off to spend some time with him before he passes out.
