Trampoline fun?

My adorable older children decided to sleep out on the trampoline last Sunday night. Halley was so cute, she invited Gage to sleep out with them. They hauled their blankets, pillows and books out back. I reminded them to put bug spray on and after watching the Olympics with us for a minute they headed out.

Gage was the first one in the house in the morning, he had to come in to use the bathroom. We ran him up and when he was done and turned around and looked at me I about died.

Literally eaten alive. My adorable older child forgot the bug spray OBVIOUSLY! My first thought was chickenpox. I stripped him down and he only has them on his hands and face, so I knew then they were mosquito bites. On Thursday night he broke out in pretty severe hives. I took him to the doctor on Friday and he's having an allergic reation to the bites. The doctor is pretty concerned about west nile virus. Ugh! Any sign of a fever and I'm supposed to rush him right in. So we decided no Spirit Lake trip this year. I would be in a panic 4 hours away if he developed a fever.

Halley looked ok on the first day. That night her eyes started to swell. On Tuesday morning when she woke up her eyes were completely swollen shut! She looked like someone had beaten the crap put of her. I finally bribed her into letting me take a picture but I had to promise to never show it to anyone. Remember the show Mask with Cher? She looked like the boy in that, but without eyes. Not good.
