Mercedes and the Girls

Here we are, at the Minute Clinic in a CVS.  Yep.  Both Mac and Mimi seem to have ear infections, which need to be addressed before we fly on a plane.  We chose the Minute clinic because it's cheaper than the doctor's office, although the downside is that the doctor's office doesn't have a record of the infection. But, I was right, and both Mac and Mimi will be on antibiotics for the next 10 days.  The nurse there also said that an ear infection can sometimes cause vomiting, so maybe that's what the other day was for Mac.

The other downside to a Minute clinic?  The wait!  And not just in a waiting room, but in a store, right in front of shelves full of things to touch, remove, and play with.

Not to mention all the running up and down aisles! 

Leiden is finally feeling better, which we are so grateful for.  She and Brad went to a Timberwolves game tonight with some friends, and the cheerleaders came to visit.  In their immodest little outfits.  It is what it is, and they were super nice to little Leiden, letting her use one of their pom poms. 

Baby Marianna, who is our friends' baby, was also in on the fun. 

Leiden will finally return to school again, tomorrow, which is such a relief.  I will spend the week cleaning, and preparing for our trip, which comes on Friday!
