Measles

Alex has been running a high fever for a couple of days and this afternoon he broke out all over. It seems he has the measles. We figured he had just picked up a bug but now we know exactly what bug he had picked up. Luckily he has had all his shots so his breakout is pretty mild and except for when his fever goes up and he gets so tired and cranky he acts his normal self.

We have been having such mild weather here. It is still cold enough for the holidays but of course we are all hoping for some snow soon. It will be Alex's first snow. Clay and I are going to Springfield next week, going to do a big pickup from the library and do some Christmas shopping. Looking forward to it. There is talk about a Super Wal-Mart being built in Buffalo to replace the small one we have now. That would be nice but still the Super Wal-Mart is only another 18 miles in Bolivar from here. I don't really care how big Buffalo gets because the 6 miles that we are from it, it's growth will never affect us here in our country setting. At least not in our lifetime.
