Our 100th Post!

Long time, no write. Sorry it has been awhile since our last post (I know, over a week is awhile for us), but we have been kind of out of commission. First it was the kids with colds, then it was me on death's door, then Daniel and Owen. Luckily, I think we are all fairly healthy now. We ended up with this horrible virus that is like strep, but not. Basically you have a horrible sore throat and a high fever for like 4 days. I don't know how Owen and Daniel felt, but I haven't been that sick in many years. Luckily, Daniel was able to stay home for a couple days to help me out and then he stayed home the rest of the week because he was sick.

The kids had A LOT of down time this week. We weren't able to do much with all the sickness, so they found other ways to occupy their time. The following 5 pictures are of Ellie squirting Owen with the water bottle. I came in the room and found him soaked! Instead of freaking out, I grabbed the camera.

Like I said, with all the "down" time, they found themselves in lots of trouble....

Here is trouble himself!

Here is Ellie! You think this picture and the next are cute, but what you may not be able to see very well is that she is absolutely filthy! You'd think we just sent her out on her own and had her make do on her own. Savage.

Ahhh... my birthday present. So, I have been walking with the kids in the mornings (when it isn't raining) and have been using our fold up stroller, but I think I am abusing that one too much on all the cracks in the pavement and I really don't want to ruin it since it fits so well in our trunk. SO, I asked for a double jogging stroller for my birthday. Since my husband is so sweet to me, he bought me one! Yesterday we were running through the house with it. The kids were having a ball!
