As of lately...

We have been pretty busy around here and just trying to keep our heads above water when some of us got sick in our house! Ok, mom and Makayla got sick. But, when mom is sick it makes for VERY long days! I am still trying to kick this nasty cold. Makayla thankfully got a very mild case of hand foot and mouth disease which has been floating around our neighborhood. Yay! She had a few blisters on her feet, hands, and bottom. But, they were small and only a handful. So, she acted fine and proceeded as if nothing was wrong. Which is good because I felt like crap! We survived our confinement for over a week now trying to keep her away from others as much as possible. That is hard when Dan is busy with work and his calling and I had the boy's school stuff, volunteering, and coaching soccer games! We survived! Now hopefully that is behind us for a long long time!
We have been a little more caved in due to the rain lately, but the boys did enjoy running through it!



 Spectator from the window!
 My team minus 2 players. I love coaching, it is actually pretty fun! I don't like worrying about who will be watching the younger 2 kids while I am coaching on Wednesdays. Dan has had to sacrifice several weeks with the youth to come take the kids. Thankfully Kellie is here to save my bacon every now and then. We only have 2 more Wednesdays, whew!

 More poor sick baby. Her first and only day where she acted sick, she had a fever all day. So did I! So we snuggled all day. I can't complain too much about that!
 As you can tell the sick day ended quick and Makayla jumped right up and back to herself. This girl is becoming quite the little mischief maker. She eats EVERYTHING! I have caught her either eating or trying to eat SO many things. She even managed to get a dishwasher tablet out of the container and started to eat a piece. I caught her and she spit it back out. But, man! She empties all the cupboards, dumps all the soap containers into the tubs, and is the biggest mess maker! She unrolls the toilet paper rolls, pulls the floss out of the container, and dumps every cup she can reach on the table. She LOVES the toilet bowl brush and heaven for bid the boys leave a toilet lid up! It is a good thing she is so cute:)
 She is also becoming the biggest copy cat. The other day the boys were both on the floor crying, mom made them turn of a show or something, so Makayla, who hates when they cry, walked up and bent over with her hands on her knees and put her face right up to each of their's and tried to talk to them. When both of the boys did not acknowledge her she decided to join them. She plopped down next to them and proceeded to fake cry. It was too funny!
So when Zack got his backpack on for school she got one too!

 Miss independent did not want to ride in the cart. She had to push it.
 With a break from our captivity of rain and illness the kids played on the playlet often!
 Zack doing the Upstart program for preschool aged kids. He loved it at first, it is starting to wear on him though.
