Becca woke up this morning complaining of being itchy. She had a rash on her face and arms and back and legs, and it seemed to get worse as we were in church, so I took her back to the bus and gave her some Benadryl, which definitely helped but didn't take it away entirely. We're going to have her tested for allergies when we get back home (or sooner if this doesn't go away), as she's showed slight allergies to a few random things here and there, and we don't want to chance her being really allergic to something we don't know about.
We had naps after church and then watched most of The Water Horse together. The girls liked the cute little creature but kind of lost interest once it got bigger. At one point, Evee said, "I'm going away from this movie now." So she and Becca got down and played on their computers while Roseann and I watched the rest of it, and it's just as well that they bailed out when they did, because it got scarier after that point.
I put the girls to bed and Becca picked out Dr. Seuss' One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish for the bedtime story and then Evee chose a "game song" for the song. Game songs involve some kind of silly subject and a simple ad-libbed verse where we each take turns to add our own "answer". For example, tonight's was one that goes, "I went to the store to buy a lot of things. I bought a..." and then one of us answers "robot doggie". Normally, there would be a different answer each time, but our running gag for this particular version is that everyone always answers "robot doggie" (or throws in something else unexpectedly after a while, such as "robot platypus"). Anyway, they're a fun improvising exercise and since we started doing them this past winter the girls almost always choose to do a new game song (or a rehashed old one) for their bedtime song.
Sorry, no pictures today. I guess I could have taken a picture of Becca's rash, but that wouldn't seem right to post here, you know?
