It has been so long since I have posted anything... kids are my excuse. If I have time for anything I want to scrapbook and yet I haven't had anytime even for that...until last week when the kids got the flu. Oh, i don't know what kind it was but they had fevers, coughing, aching and well, it was almost a week of no school for at least one of the kids. Nicholas was by far the worst and now I wish I had taken pictures of each of them in the midst of their sorrows. Natalee had it for the shortest amount of time (on Halloween) but we loaded her up on medication and she still went trick or treating. Nicholas got it that night and he was the worst- in fact it lasted the entire week. Some days were better than others. Xander- he got it on Sunday evening and he complained the most--I had to tell him that I would do anything for him but the whining and moaning had to stop because all it did was make me want to not be around him. Don't worry I said it nicely and lovingly but a mom can only take so much. Anyway- i was expecting this since school started. it is inevitable that kids are going to get sick. Anyway, the week wasn't a total bust because while the kids were sick and only wanted me to sit with them and love them, i took the opportunity to scrapbook on my laptop with them snuggled up next to me. I got a lot done and i am almost caught up with 2009. Here are a few highlights from their activities thus far...
Nicholas climbing the tree at Grandma's house and the beautiful fall foliage!
We don't buy school pictures but we take them at home on the same day!
This little boy truly makes me smile!
It was so fun to be with Natalee- she doesn't need me there- she just wants me there.
Xander was so excited for his class' opening day of their student store. He was also nervous because he had to give a commercial. I will post it later for you all to see. He was amazing and he did a great job. But he sure was glad when it was over.
