this plant? We sure do now. Yes, it is poison ivy and it made it's summer debut in our house!! Poor Dakoda is just covered (and I mean everywhere!!) Luckily he had an appt scheduled with Dr. Wilkins for yesterday , the dermatologist, so went kept the scheduled appt and let him take a peek! The dr is awesome...he took us outside to a wooded little area near his office and showed us the EVIL little bugger (posion ivy) so we could identify it. He pointed out that is has three leaves(heard that LONG ago), the center leaf has 2-3 notches on both sides of it, but the two outside leaves only have one notch on the outside edge the inside edge is smooth.....hmm never knew all of this....they turn red in the fall....and on and on! BEWARE my friends this little plant is evil...and when the kids are sweating they rub the stuff all over before they know what hit them!!
Big Steve is highly allergic to the evil plant....he has been in the ER a few times since I have been with him due to a break out...once he was so sick....he had it internally from it being attached to trees when they were chipping and he inhaled it! EWWWWW and he wants this house out by the lake that is just surrounded by trees and leaves!! Thank God for health insurance!!
Happy 4th to you all!!
The guys are heading out to camp tomorrow (if Dakoda is up to it) at Pleasant Lake. They will be out there until Sunday...I will be driving out for dinner and bombfire nightly, sleeping there then getting up at 5am and driving in to clean up for work Thursday and Friday!
Hence, I doubt I will be blogging again until Sunday when we get back! (Unless I blog when I am home to let our dog out and for Dakoda to do his pet sitting at the Hamlin's :-)
Beth- I hope that you guys have a GREAT time and can get some R & R. ENJOY!! I lok forward to seeing all the pics when you get back...and how about a lunch date??

Konnor is always into the poison ivy when he is hunting and stalking prey....he usually has to get the cream and steriods before it goes away. Sorry you had to stumble upon this yucky plant, Dakoda!
