Sick Little Sunday

2 AM...crying..."mom, my forehead hurts."  Marley is in my room and feels like a properly heated oven ready for a turkey.  After an up-all-night kind of night, daddy left for church and the kids and I had a jammy day, sick little Sunday.

What happens when you have a sick little girl, who's temps have ranged from 102 - 104 all day, and pay little attention to your handsome boy with golden locks?

That's not dog hair on the floor.  Oh well, it was bound to happen one day.  Good thing he has enough to spare.  You can't really tell, the cut pieces are lost in all his layers, I hope he learned his lesson and doesn't keep up his wanna be stylist ways.

Five Minute Friday

Instead of complaining about how much I want to write…how sad I am that I am missing documenting the most precious time in our little tikes’ lives…how I think about writing all the time but never sit down to do it…I am just going to take 5 minutes today and rattle off {what I can remember} that is going on in our lives:

•         Marley has had some pretty severe Gastrointestinal issues.  We have had 20+ days of diarrhea, multiple accidents, an xray, blood work and appointment at the GI.  Dr’s say terms like Celiac Disease, Cystic Fibrosis, Encopresis…and on and on.  Next apt is Dec 11 to try to get this poor girl some relief.
• Marley and Merrick both recently read their first words!  By sounding them out all by themselves.  Marley – FUN & Merrick – POP (from Skippy John Jones)
• We are still working on Merrick potty training at night…oh never mind…we gave up on that again
• Daddy is rocking at work…oh and I recently got a promotion to Director of Sales (September 1^st)
•  If you ask the kids what their favorite thing to do is…they will say “FAMILY DAY!”  Family Day is a new thing we created due to our busy lives.  Family Day is a sacred day where we just spend time together…weather it’s special time with just the gawrls with the gawrls and boys with the boys or all together…the kids have come to love it and ask for it every weekend. 
• This year for Halloween the kids school celebrated “Community Helper Day” as opposed to Halloween.  The kids had to dress as a Community Helper so they were the most adorable police officers ever.  Since when does Halloween have to be politically correct.  That night they ditched the boring costumes for an Astronaut and Aurora J
  
  
  
  
•  Halloweena, the kids Halloween fairy, of course came to exchange their candy.  They woke up to a spidy mask, spidy flashlight and spidy toy and a pink purse doodle book and snap beads to make jewelry.  No missing yucky food-dye ridden candy at our house!!

• That's all for now...hey at least I got something down on paper...don't judge :)
