Out and In

We had an HVAC guy come and clean out our air ducts. It was going to be loud and Sweetie can't handle loud after all the noisy work we've had done since the pipe burst. So we all headed out as a family to avoid the noise.
It's off to Costco we go.

Sweetie was SICK. She had been up the night before with the croup. She totally scared me. I heard her crying after we'd put her to bed. I went in the room and she was sitting up in her bed, struggling to breath. I shouted, "Honey! She can't breathe! She can't breathe!" I scooped her up, ran her downstairs and shoved her in Handsome Husband's arms while pushing them out the door so she could breathe in the cool night air. Handsome Husband ended up pushing her in the stroller for about an hour until she could breathe easier. We were SO close to taking her into the ER. Ballerina had heard me saying that Sweetie couldn't breathe so she sat up in bed and asked why she couldn't breathe. I had to smooth it over and tell her that Sweetie was sick, but we were giving her medicine and she'd be fine. Sweetie slept in bed with us. She woke up around 6am, struggling to breathe again. So Handsome Husband set up a movie for her in the garage with the garage door open and they sat in camp chairs to watch. Isn't he such a good daddy?

At Costco we just kept Sweetie in the stroller so she wouldn't touch anything. She wanted to try on these glasses in the Optical section. Isn't she cute in glasses?Both girls are pretty obsessed with glasses since both Handsome Husband and I wear them. Ballerina even tells me her eyes hurt and she needs glasses (but her vision was fine at her checkup in December).
We had hot dogs. The more I eat them, the less I like them. :(
Handsome Husband, being handsome.
This is one of the faces he makes when he's messing with the kids.
He wanted a picture of his eyes. He has a yellowish rim around his pupils.
Back at home, the HVAC guy told us that he pumped 5 gallons of water out of our vent. So the water has been sitting in the vent for over a month! He recommended replacing that vent. I was not excited about dragging out the repairs more. The floors are finished and we are almost done painting. I'll post pics when I clean things up enough.

Later everyone napped, but Ballerina decided she wanted some computer time.
She's really good at finding her games.
She could do this for hours if I let her. Note the white heart on the wall. She helped me decorate for Valentine's Day. Those hearts were stuck in random places.
