And it continues...

We are still battling this stomach bug so there isn't much to post.  Everyone has gotten it except Joel, and the girls are still getting over it.  Needless to say, our lives have not been very exciting lately.  I am wanting to sew some things again, and I am hoping to go to JoAnn's Saturday as I have several good coupons that I could use all at once.  I'd like to make a new softball bag, and I also would like to sew Pnut some clothes out of this crazy book I bought a while ago.  We'll have to see about that second one though.  It's always fun to dream:) 

We haven't had school since last Wednesday because of sickness.  Even thought it is putting us farther behind, I'm very thankful that Pnut is at home and not in school as she would be missing quite a bit from stomach bugs.  This is the fifth time she has gotten it this year.  I think her system is a little worn out and having a harder time fighting off things plus we haven't been able to be in the sun because we were trying to stay inside because of her allergies.  It is raining a lot this week so hopefully that will help with the allergens in the air and then we can get some vitamin D!  Everyone is getting tired of the boredom and being cooped up and watching shows to pass the time.  We like to go outside!

Hope your week is off to a good start!

Sick

I've been quite sick today so I am not going to post anything til next week!

Sick Baby:(

Today I have been taking care of a sick little boy.  Besides school this morning, we didn't get much done!  That is okay, I did get to cuddle my sweet boy a lot and rock him.  I hope he feels better tomorrow, but judging from how he is now, I am not holding out hope!  Anyways, here is a picture of Pnut with some fake fingernails.  They all fell off within 24 hours, and she was very sad, but they were fun while they lasted!

Also, could someone explain to me what would possess a 4-year-old to ride her bike off the edge of the porch on purpose?  Thanks!

85 in April?

Whew, we had a busy day.  I got up and made pumpkin muffins for breakfast this morning, which each child ate three.  We went to the nursing home and then to a new playground with friends for a picnic and to play.  These are the only pictures I got from there:

Joel's first softball game was tonight too, which the kids enjoyed very much.  They are now sleeping in a state of complete exhaustion!  I'm ready for bed now too!

Ugh, Allergies!

Tomorrow is the last day of our week inside, and I am hoping that some of the tree pollen will be dying down soon!  I did let Pnut and Pilly go outside at my parents' today for about 20 minutes, and Pnut's face and eyes got puffy quite quickly.  I'll have to keep checking the pollen reports. 

Today was a very busy day with cleaning and running to Target and to get our milk.  We didn't eat until 6:00, which is very late for us, and the kids went to bed almost as soon as the dishes were done and Peter Pan read.  Did you know that fairies came from the first laugh of the first baby?  See the things we are learning!

I'm tired now so I think I will go.  I'll try to have more profound thoughts next week!

Wordless Wednesday-Something Cute

Bike Ride

On Monday, we took a bike ride:

The girls were funny, and their personalities come out quite a big!  Pilly is reckless, races down the sidewalk and careens around corners like a maniac.  I'm just thankful she hasn't run over anyone.  Pnut is very cautious as her main thought during bike riding is "don't fall over."  Thus she puts on her brakes every two seconds.  It's great.

And they like to ride really close together and make me really nervous.  They have run into each other but thankfully haven't gotten too hurt!

And we saw this beauty:

I do love spring!
