Help Me... I am surrounded by sick children

I thought that I would do one posting, then like everything else realize that I am too busy to keep it updated. Well thanks to sick kids, and the silly people at daycare who don't want your kids passing the bug on I have had some time off. So I am making the time. Carson started out with this nasty string of the flu, We are guessing it is the flu, by getting a headache on Saturday. By Saturday night we were on clean up duty, I still don't understand why the kids don't completely grasp the consept of the throw up bowl. I tell them, "Hey if you feel sick and you can't make it to the bathroom, use this." sounds simple right? Wrong. "Mom, I missed the bowl." "Mom, I tipped the bowl over." "Mom..." you get the point. So Carson missed two days of school. I sent him to school this morning and so far with 45 minutes left of school, he is still there. So I think he is healed. Nick had a headache last night and this morning, it was his turn for the bowl. Nick actually hit the bowl, but with Nick's extra sensitive nose he won't use it more then once in an attack. And to suggest that he actually hold his head over the toilet is to him pretty much insane. The bathtub he will use but only if the shower is one so that he doesn't have to smell anything and it just washes right down the drain. At least it is an easy clean up. The problem is making sure that he makes to the bathroom while in the middle of the first wave so that he doesn't have to reuse the bowl before I can clean it up. Mica, so far is fine. So there you go. My 2nd official blog and it was all about bodily functions. I think I may like this after all. Enjoy won't you.

Kids, You Gotta Love Them

Let's start with Carson...
Today Carson and I were doing his homework. I was doodleing his name on a piece of paper. Well I wrote his name in cursive. Carson looked at it and said "Boy Mom, you sure are a sloppy writer"




Then there is Nick...
Nick has lost his first tooth! I mean lost it. (we think he swallowed it) When the tooth fairy came and saw the note that we left explaining why there was no tooth, well he took pitty on Nick and left some money anyway. When Nick woke up the next morning and saw his dollar bill (the tooth fairy was out of change) he said that he was going to spend his dollar on a doll for Emma. And then he told his preschool class that Emma is the "woman" he was going to marry.




Last but not Least, My Girl, Micalyn...
Mica got mad at Ted and I for something, I don't remember what anymore. But this was how she let us know she was upset...Even when she is mad she loves the camera!!
