Avery as Oscar

Avery has one of the most vivid imaginations. She is constantly pretending and saying completely off the wall stuff. She still talks about Sarah, but now it's a bit different because she had a babysitter named Sarah that she really liked and so now 'Sarah' is a real person, most of the time. The other day I was trying to sort her room out and give everything a place. I emptied out a large Rubbermaid container that had been filled with her stuffed animals and baby dolls and had just left it in her room because she asked if she could play in it. She started yelling for me to "come see, come SEE!!" and when I got back there, I couldn't see her. Then the lid pops up and she yells "I'm OSCAR!! I'm a grouch!!" She was pretending to be Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street. It was pretty funny. I passed by her room later on and she was still doing it. She came out of the 'trash can' and said (not knowing I was listening, mind you) I'm SO nasty and dirty. I'm just yucky because I'm Oscar and I live in a yucky trash can. It was pretty cute. Here she is playing this game:

Benjamin got up on Saturday oozing green out of his eyes (yummy, huh?) and snotting all over the place. I finally got him into a doctor and he does have a sinus infection and an ear infection, but thank goodness we got him on antibiotics before it got into his chest and he ended up with pneumonia again. He does have a nasty cough, but it's not a respitory infection yet. I'm glad he's off of school today to give him a day to rest. All of his sinus cavities are swollen so he looks pretty bad. I may try to get a picture of it later, but it's cold out and I have a bad headache, so I'm not going to do it now!
