July 25, 2010: Pink-Eyed Bubba

I'm actually stealing a pic here from my wife's blog.  One of J's friends came into town for a little girls' break, so I had the kids all day on Saturday.  We ran some errands in the morning, went to the pool for a couple hours, and then hid from the oppressive heat outside by hanging out in our basement watching movies.  My plan was to take the kids to a birthday party in the evening, but Bubba woke up from his nap looking like someone punched him in the eye--the dreaded pink eye had struck--so that plan was off the table.  Bubba's siblings were pretty upset by the cancelled plans, so dad played the sucker and took them to Chik-fil-A for dinner and an ice cream cone instead, doing my best to shield bubba and his stink eye from the view of all the other parents there.  We were spared a trip to the after-hours clinic by our good friend--one of the two and a half people that occasionally looks at this blog--who had some old pink eye drops in her medicine cabinet.  Bubba and the rest of us are grateful!
