Sick, cold and ketchup.

Odd combination of words, right? Read on....

We've been sick here in this house and it's been the pits...

What's up with that?!? I hate being sick, the kids hate being sick, Trevor hates being sick. Come to think of

it, I don't know anyone who likes being sick. Am I wrong?

NO!

But we are on the mend...thank heavens.

Emily gave us a FHE lesson last night on staying fit. She did a great job.


Notice her wet shirt...that girl doesn't dry her hair after her shower and she gets soaked. I don't know how

she can stand it. As of right now, I have on a pair of wool socks, a dress, a shirt, a sweater, a blanket, and

some finger-less gloves. No wet hair and I'm still cold. Of course that could be because we keep our house

at a balmy 67degrees (that's the word Trevor uses sarcastically...even he gets chilled!)

On the lunch menu today?

Scrambled eggs with a lot of ketchup.


I allowed Josh to do most of it. He squeezed so much ketchup on his eggs I thought he would never eat

them. But he did and he liked it!

As long as he's eating, I'm happy. Last night we had to bribe him with cake to get him to eat his potatoes. So

he ate them, got his cake and ate everything but the frosting~the best part....

Maybe we should have put ketchup on it....?

You keep your thermostat at 67 degrees!!??!!??

I'm glad to hear that everyone is "on the mend", and Joshy makes me laugh... love that kid! He sometimes reminds me of my youngest brother, Jake, who was also a picky eater -yet- would put *butter* on almost everything.

We keep our thermostat at 67 degrees too...although 67 does not feel balmy at ALL to me! We wear a lot of layers at our house...at least Chris and I do. I swear our kids do not have any sort of temperature gauge in their bodies. Matty runs around wearing shorts all the time!

Josh looks like a real chef in that picture.

Funny isn't it. When it is 110 outside, 67 inside feels very comfortable and 78 inside, not so much. But winter is just reverse.

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
