It's been a really long month for us. Peyton has been fighting a cold since Halloween and over the weekend it turned ugly. Today he is FINALLY on antibiotics after another visit to the Dr. and a phone call this morning. I mean really....after a month of snot and a night of fever, isn't it called something other than "just a cold"? So this afternoon his spirits are back up and he seems to be feeling better...even though he still has a fever. So since he's been sick for so long, I didn't think twice about letting him have the sprinkles he found in the pantry this morning. Who can tell a sweet snotty 2 year old no when he says "Mommy...fease." (in his most pitiful voice ever...he's already working angles.) I put the sprinkles in a bowl and set him up with a movie. About 10 minutes later he comes running into the living room. I immediately look at him and know this isn't going to be good. This is what I saw.....
Needless to say the sprinkles were EVERYWHERE....my blanket on my bed was officially green and I've nicknamed him Grinch for the day. After I caught him totally covered in sprinkles, he ran to the pantry and wanted more!! Seriously?!! I don't think so.
On Sunday we decided to give Peyton his Christmas presents since we will be going non stop for the next 3 weekends. We got him a Little Tykes bounce house. To say he LOVES it would be an understatement. He even made Pepper get in with him. She liked it surprisingly.
Brad's parents came down for the weekend and on Saturday night we went to Mobile to see the lights at Bellengrath Gardens. It was cold and crowded, but beautiful. We've decided it would be prettier in the spring though. Don't we look ridiculous?
So now we're just praying that Peyton gets well in the next few days. This weekend he is staying with Maw and Paw so that Brad and I can go to Dallas and watch the Cowboys play the Giants. We're so excited!! Hopefully the weather will cooperate as well...I just heard on local news that tomorrow and Thursday we could get wintry precipitation here in South Mississippi. You know you're in the south with one day it's 75 degrees (today) and the next it's snowing!!! Merry Christmas Y'all!!!

I love the sprinkles face. Too cute. Can't wait to see you again soon.
I love that first picture of him. Too cute! I don't think I could deny that little face either, and I don't blame you one bit for giving into him.
OMG! Lisa...he is soooo precious! I love that first picture! That is the type of picture you need to keep out on those bad days! Its an instant 'pick-me-up' picture! And Kainaan is going to be so jealous of Peyton's bounce house. We can't wait to come visit again. Those boys will be so tired from playing!
Well, I hope your little man gets better soon. Have a blast (and a beer) for me at the Dallas Game.
Love ya, Lori
Like everyone else...that first picture cracks me up! He's such a funny little guy. Give him kisses from us!
