You know something is wrong when...

1. Paul Jr.: You pull into the driveway at 6:30pm (after picking up your daughter's medicine for croup, a fever-cough combo) and there is an empty Troegs box covering the septic sand mound pvc pipe which your wife ran over with the mower on Saturday....clearly her attempts to repair it are not going well.

2. Leigh Anne: You have to make a second trip to Home Depot in two days to get parts associated with the problem in #1 during which the nice young man helping you purchase the correct pieces of pvc pipe suggests that you also buy an orange flag so that you don't mow over the pvc pipe cover next time. The picture below was taken on the first outing to Home Depot:
3. Paul III: Mommy says it's okay to make cookies for the third straight night.... she must be tired, but this is great!

4. Kaitlyn: I got to stay home with mommy today and daddy's my buddy tomorrow, but I didn't really feel all that great... talk about a waste of a day home to play all by myself!

PS- Kaitlyn has some medicine to help her cough and hopefully help her sleep better tonight, and we'll see if her fever decides to go away after two days tomorrow. And the pvc pipe problem was repaired tonight once we pried open the sealant container- which left me with at least one blister and two bruised hands.

wow, what a list of events for the Redfern family! Wish I was in G-burg to help you out with Kaitlyn, can't do much about the pvc pipe situation, however. Hope today is a better day. Love you all. The photo is adorable. Paul III looks like he is so into driving and Miss Kate is just enjoying the ride.

Sounds kind of miserable. Hope Kaitlyn recovers quickly and cookies for 3 nights in a row is totally okay . . . . if it makes everyone happy, go for it!
