chicken pox?

Brendan and Dylan came in the house covered in bumps after sleeping out on the tramp.

I kept teasing by telling them they have chicken pox but really they have hundreds of mosquito bites.  

Brendan and Dylan slept out on the tramp for a fun night with their friend. It was sprinkling throughout the night but the mosquitoes were the worst part of the night.  Why they didn't come in when they heard swarms of them around them still baffles me but apparently they still had fun.  Almost a week after getting the bites, Brendan's bites got worse. They started itching him like crazy. He couldn't sleep at night and we used everything we could get our hands on to try to help him. I think he just kept itching them too much. He missed a day of school from all the discomfort but I am happy to report they are not itching anymore.

Now we are just waiting for the bumps to go away on both of them.
