What Am I? Crazy?

It's exactly a week before our big client interview and I am swinging between thinking that we have this in the bag and "Am I crazy? This company has 22,000 employees and some of the best known brands in the world. Geez." Well, let's hope I land on confidence next Tuesday. Barb and I are flying up and back, which will assist in the child care situation for all involved. We've coordinated our outfits enough so that we don't arrive looking like twins or clashing too badly. At the end of the day, isn't it about the shoes? :)
We seem to have weathered this round of the flu. Last Friday, Jack went to the doctor for a sinus infection. Antibiotics again. Tomorrow the twins get checked to make sure their ear infections from two weeks ago cleared up. We might as well have a standing appointment at the doctor's office. At the present time, everyone seems to be healthy.

Chicago, Potty Training and Emergency Rooms

The delay in blog updates occured because I went to Chicago without my camera charger, then couldn't locate my battery once I came home, etc. So, it took awhile to get back to my basic photography. J and I took Jack to Chicago on a business trip. While J conferred with his client, Jack and I went to the Shedd Aquarium. We enjoyed the carribean reef, the catfish, penguins and beluga whales. We also saw some dolphins. We did not enjoy, sadly, the world renown Dolphin Show, simply because it was lunch time and Jack waits for no one. The lunch opportunities were slow and meager at the aquarium, so we went outside. We had nachos while we waited for a water taxi. The water taxi was quite the harrowing ride as the winds were up that day and it was more than a little rocky. Just thankful we made it the short way to Navy Pier. We then had a real lunch and did a little shopping before we went to the Chicago Children's Museum. The Children's Museum was the hit of the day. We built forts and skyscrapers and painted. Good fun was had by all. The drive home took seven hours. Really, no additional information needed there. Jack was a trooper, J and I were wrecks. Jack, however, had a personal DVD player and his new Dora videos, so we thank goodness for technology. All in all, a successful trip.

Our potty training continues to go well, though we seem to have quite a few accidents, or perhaps it is just experimentation with pee. Our hallway shower curtain had odd wet spots that turned yellow, following inspection, seems that Jack is testing his range. Boys will be boys.

For Halloween, Jack is going to be Mizzou's Truman the Tiger, Brooke and Caroline are going to be MU cheerleaders. Too cute. In pic, Brookie is trying on her outfit.

Yesterday, Brookie and I spent the afternoon in the emergency room due to her 104 temperature while on antibiotics for her ear infection. I will say, though, that again, Cardinal Glennon did a great job and they get rave reviews from me. She has the flu, though not likely H1N1. She is on Tamiflu, which worked wonders and she slept through the night.
