Hurry up Spring!!

It was gorgeous weather on Monday, so I took the kids out to play outside for about an hour and a half!! Curt loves it outside!! I know because he threw a fit when I took him out of the swing....he threw a fit when I took him out of the sandbox....and he really threw a fit when we went inside!!

These monthly pictures are getting harder and harder!! Someone wanted to just play!!





Finally a decent picture!! He's not sucking his thumb, he's chewing on it....I think he's getting another tooth in....

Illness update

The stomach bug around here is fierce but short....I was sick all day Friday, but woke up Sat. a little weak, but fine. Kylie started throwing up about 3 am Sun. morning, but by about lunch time she was pretty good. Chuck got it that evening and stayed home from work Monday. Thankfully Curt and his parents were spared!!

We are the Pirates....

that don't do anything!!! If you don't know, that is the name of the new Veggie Tales movie that just came out in theaters yesterday! i was supposed to take Kylie, but do to my stomach thing I couldn't and Chuck took her instead while Curt and I slept. She really liked it! The part she thought was hilarious and disturbing all at the same time was when one of the pirates went to eat a cheeto and it came alive!!! I want to go see it so we just may go a second time!

Oh, and for a while Kylie insisted that the name of the movie was 'We are the Pirates that Don't do Nothing!!'....her English minor dad is so proud!

Mommies aren't supposed to get sick....

Mommy's aren't supposed to get sick......and kids, no matter how caring and loving, aren't real sympathetic!! I had some kind of 12 hour stomach virus, and I will spare you the details, but it was BAD!!! I said I would never say this to my kids, but at one point I looked at Kylie and told her I didn't care what she did, but go play and leave Mommy alone....I said it very caring, but still....I don't ever want to just tell my kids to leave me alone!! So Kylie played and Curt sat on the floor playing next to the couch and at one point there was 30 minutes that was missing...I think I fell asleep! Chuck got home from work at 12:30, but I still had to call my mom to come help out with the kids until he go there.....

I am so thankful that my mom could come help out....both that she was able to come and that we live close enough she could! In Oklahoma, I'd be calling Kari or Megan or Aimee to take one of my kiddos!!!
