Worst Good Friday

So, now I have pink eye. And all 3 of us have colds. So that's just great.

We didn't dare venture out to church this morning, with our entourage of germs and contagion. We would really hate to ruin everyone elses' long weekends by sharing our sicknesses. But we did go out to Tim Horton's. Twice. I was just really careful not to breathe directly on anyone (as I typically am when I go out in public places, I suppose).  Anyhoo... I spent my Good Friday applying warm compresses to my right eye, popping Advil, and snuggling a terribly congested little girl who wouldn't let me out of her reach. And I did a lil bit o' online shopping because, gosh-darn-it, it just makes me feel better.

However, contrary to popular belief, there is more going on around here lately than just nursing one sickness/injury after another. For example, we converted Ayla's crib into a toddler bed. On Wednesday I walked into her room after her nap just in time to catch her as she prit near launched herself right over the rail of her crib. Greg promptly converted it the minute he got home. Considering the luck we've been having this last month, we didn't want to play with fire and invite another ER visit. And p.s.-she's doing *great* in her 'big girl bed'. =)

Also, I am planning to potty train Ayla this week while I am on Spring Break. I am attempting the '3 Day Potty Training Method', which comes highly recommended by many savvy moms in my life whom I respect and revere. There are 12 of the cutest, tiniest pairs of little undies sitting in Ayla's closet just waiting to be soiled. Stay tuned....

And before I sign off, here's a picture. Because a post without a picture is just sad.
I strategically chose this picture because the chocolate all over Ayla's face hides her uber snotty nose.

So that was our 'Bad Friday'.
But I am expecting packages from American Eagle and J.Crew in 5-7 business days. So, I guess it wasn't all that bad.
