That's our house right now. 2 of my kids now have strep throat- Anna and Kate (the oldest and youngest). 2 down 2 to go right? I really hope it doesn't spread any further! But more than that- I really hope I don't get it. I can take care of sick kids, but no one takes care of a sick Mama! Keep your fingers crossed for me...2/19/10: Well- add one more to the list because Ellie's now sick (and Anna woke up with a fever again!) I guess it's time to DEEP clean my house!
2/21/10: Anna has it again and now Tyler has it too. Well actually he's probably had it for the past few weeks. He was sick about 3 weeks ago with a fever and stomach ache- no sore throat and it went away after a few days. Well, come to find out, a lot of kids never have a sore throat with strep- they have a stomach ache. Who knew?! When I took Anna in yesterday to get tested yet again, I had them test Tyler even though he doesn't have any symptoms and he was positive. Growing up, my sister was a carrier of strep. We would all get sick and test positive but she would be the one without any symptoms. So maybe he's a carrier too. Anyway... Hopefully after this round of amoxicillin we'll all be better. The doctor even gave me prescriptions for Bryan and myself (which is a good thing since I'm feeling rotten now too)!

My fingers are crossed for you! Strep throat is THE WORSTE! Hope you all are better soon! Darling picture though!
Hope you guys all feel better soon. Take all the medicine so you can get rid of it. My Lizzy is sick too, it sure is no fun having sick kids.
Ugh...I have it now, too. I hope you're all done with it by now.
