booger barnes strikes again

I will spare you any pictures in this post because I’m sure you can figure out from the title that it wouldn’t be pretty. As is apparently custom in this household Booger Barnes made his biweekly visit again. Yes, that means that the girls are sick again. I’ve since lost count how many times my kids have been sick this school year. I’m almost embarrassed to mention it anymore because people are probably starting to think that I suffer from Münchausen’s syndrome. I really don’t, and I REALLY DON’T want my kids to be sick constantly or to gain attention from all the illness we deal with in this house.

I don’t think that I mentioned before that Grandma Minnesota stayed with the girls while we were in San Diego (thank you, oh so much!). Booger Barnes thought it would be a nice treat for Grandma if he visited Annie. He made the visit extra special by not only filling her with mucous but also afflicting her with pneumonia. Grandma was sure busy dealing with all of Booger Barnes’ presents during her whole time here. Booger Barnes didn’t let us off easy though because Violet got her fair share of goodies during our vacation in San Diego.

Not long after Grandma went back to Minnesota Booger Barnes almost forgot to leave presents for Mimi and came back and gave her a grand soiree of mucous and hacking coughs. He really wanted Mimi to feel especially important by sticking by her side for over 2 weeks which resulted in a doctor’s visit chock full of a breathing treatment, x-ray and a diagnosis of bronchitis.

Booger Barnes wasn’t done yet as he thought Violet didn’t get enough gifts while in San Diego, so he has given her a bonus amount of mucous this go around. Oh, how we love Booger Barnes.

P.S. I’ll give you a prize if you can guess the Booger Barnes reference.

Alright, I won’t leave you without any pictures. Vi is SO close to crawling. C’mon, girl!
