And The Winner Is............

Phil had a can of money in his car. He brought it in tonight with the cover on & said "If you can guess how much is in here within a dollar, you can have it" (said his dad used to do that with a fistful of change "if you come within a quarter, it's yours" And none of them Fischer kids ever got it right. )

So I wanted in on this game tonight too. He let us hold the can, but that was it. We didn't get to even LOOK at what was inside.

I guessed $20, Lexi said $8 & Nick said $12.

Dumped it all out on the living room floor & started counting. It was mostly pennies, but some quarters & two one dollar bills.

The total........$11.52!! Can you believe it?? Nick walked away with the can of money!!!!!!!! We were all surprised!!! What are the odds of that???

He did share some with Lexi...........mostly the pennies I think!

Happy 38th Birthday Phil!!

ROCK A BYE BABY...........Lexi likes to rock Zander a little bit before his nap...........and sings to him too! How sweet!

Hush Little Baby.............

The One That Lives with Grandma??

Tonight as I was reading books to Nick & Lexi, there was a character in the book named Lenny. So I asked Lexi "do you know any Lenny's?" She says "no". So I asked Nick.....who says "ya, Grandpa!" And then Lexi says "you mean the one that lives at Grandma's?"

Yep, that's the one!

This cutie pie is ELEVEN months old today!!!!

Yep, we are all on drugs for 10 days! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SICK SICK SICK!!!!!!!!

Let's see.....the sickness started with Phil almost 2 weeks ago. He went in for a strep test, & it came back negative. He then passed it on to Zander who had a really bad cold. I then got hit with it on Friday/Sat/Sunday. I went in to the walk-in clinic on Saturday & must have been pretty pathetic looking cause she didn't even take a culture but said I had strep & gave me a prescription for penicillian (I had a fever too). I felt human again on Monday. Got a call to pick Nick up from school on Monday as he wasn't feeling well. He got home & seemed alright to me. Managed to pick on his sister just fine.

Wednesday I took Zander in since it had been 10 days since he was ill. Doc said everything with him looked good, but did a culture on him since I had strept. Got the return call from the clinic that he was POSITIVE!! So he's on amoxicillian for 10 days.

Lexi started coughing now & woke up with a low fever. I called the clinic & asked for prescriptions for Nick, Lexi, & Phil.

We may as well ALL be on drugs since we love doing things together as a family ;-) Only Kirby has been spared!! Although, he goes under the knife on Monday............he's getting his teeth cleaned so you won't have to gag when he comes near you with that horrible bad breath!!
