Sickies everywhere.

I have been on antibiotics since Monday for a bladder infection.

Helyn has been suffering with a cold since Saturday. She is finally drying up and not coughing as much.

Liam came to me last night while I was folding laundry and said he didn't feel well and then got sick shortly there after. I kept him home from school today as he feels like icky poo. He didn't get sick after that, but his energy is very low. I made him lay down in my bed all morning so he could rest. He did get to watch some TV and read some books.

Little Emily who I watch was a little quiet this morning, but playing and having fun. After Lunch while I was cleaning, I turned on one of the kid's favorite shows ( Mr. Maker) and she is fussing with her ear. I ask her if she is ok and she says her ear hurts. Its been hurting all night and all morning. AHHHHHHH.
I called her mom who was home today studying for a work exam and she took her to the hospital. Hoping its nothing serious. Poor girl.

Her little brother has had a runny green nose all week too and super snuggly.

Who is going to get it next. I hate the fall illness season. Believe you me, I will be getting my flu shot next month!

Helyn's bedroom.

I want to do over Helyn's room for her for Christmas.
She is really into flowers, butterflies, ladybugs.. etc.

I found this set that I love.. what do you think?

We are home!

What a weekend.

It started off with Helyn getting a runny nose and coughing the morning we were leaving. The car ride went pretty well. The kids stayed happy and played their video games, or with their toys.

We had our thanksgiving dinner on the Saturday we got to Becky's ( which was also Aidan's birthday). It was great. We had Ham, potatoes, salad and asparagus and for dessert.... Oh dessert!! Ice cream Cake from Dairy Queen, pumpkin pie, a cake Becky baked with a Pokeball on it and Apple Caramel Cake!!! I swear I gained 20 pounds this weekend. Thanks Becky for the wonderful Feast.

Sunday we hit the Zoo. We kept it a surprise right up until Liam saw our co ordinates on the GPS ( d'oh!!) They were pretty excited and we had a good time. Mid way through the day, I realized I had a bladder infection... so it was pretty touch and go, but I wasn't leaving as we came all this way to do the Zoo and we were going to do it all! The kids got to pet sting rays, go through the children's part of the zoo where they could show us stuff... The whole zoo was pretty interactive. I think we all had a good time.

We had to leave Monday to come back home. Helyn's cold was in full swing, I was in a lot of pain for the ride home, but I made do with some mortin and tylonol. The boys had a harder time staying busy for the ride home, but yea... we got home and that is all that counts. Glen was so tired too. That is a lot of driving in 3 days. Thanks baby. I think there is a reason we don't go on weekend trips very often. LOL.

Off for the weekend.

As I have said all week, we are off to Becky's for the weekend.
Its going to be fun.
So if you would like, leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can...

Beep. Hee hee.

So much to do.. so little time to do it.
I packed for me and the kids, just need Glen to put in his pants and shirts.
Have to pack up a little bag for the kids play stuff for the car and movies.. and then yea.. we have snacks and drinks.. so i think we are good.
Have a good thanksgiving.

Thanks Aimee

Last night was fun.
I slept like the dead.
The hot tub, wine and you and Jen made it a nice relaxing evening.

Awe

It was a rough day.

I had to tell Waylon's parents how difficult he was today. I know tomorrow will be a better day. He is a good natured little guy and the bad days are so rare.

Tonight I was making dinner when I heard Waylon's voice crying outside. I run to the door and there he is with him mom and some Flowers. He came to tell me he was sorry and that tomorrow was going to be better. Such a sweet little guy.

Thanks so much Waylon ( and Tracy and John). The flowers are gorgeous.

We will have a better day tomorrow.
