Egg Fest 2008

We had big plans for this weekend that were fulfilled at a 65% level of completion. Kale woke up Thursday morning sounding muffled, but no other signs...no runny nose and no cough. On Friday, a little more of the same except Kale's eyes were a little droopy. So, we met up with my Grandmother, had lunch and came home. My Grandmother noticed quickly that "mijo" was not feeling well. Keith and I were still optimistic, hoping that it would clear up by noon on Saturday.

I had big plans for Saturday. I had orchestrated an easter egg hunt, face painting and an egg dyeing bonanza in conjunction with my cousin's birthday at the park. I made goodie bags, had confetti eggs locked and loaded, and a million plastic eggs filled with sweets dying to be hidden. Surely, Kale would be fine for all the scheduled fun...right? We got to the park at 12:30. Kale took off to play with his cousins and run around half-heartedly. Mucous started escaping from his head and his eye was the closest exit. At 2:00, Kale was feeling majorily pooptastic and his eye looked like he went 12 rounds with Mike Tyson. We then found ourselves at a minute clinic at the CVS near our house.

And, Joshua didn't want to feel left out. So, he tested the strength of one of the picnic tables with his chest and then his head with the concrete. Ouch. No cuts or blood, thank goodness. But, he was taken to the emergency room to get checked out to be on the safe side. Luckily, everything turned out fine.

We dined on the leftovers and re-worked all the Easter festivities into Easter Sunday, even though Kale was still under the weather. KD took Kale to the Dr. today and it turns out Kale has a double middle ear infection, yikes, this is his first. Man, Kale doesn't get sick very often, but when he does, he likes to do it right. He threw in a bloody nose early Sunday morning and a bloodshot eye to give it the full effect. Boys.

And, Mackey's world is complete...a ball and a banana.
