Ugh! Everyone has been sick for a week....except me(small hip hip). Tara started last Thurs. with a high fever for 2 days and then a barking cough and congestion followed. One by one they all got it..Emily then Jake then Gene. So, it has been a cold, rainy, sickly fall holiday. We have managed to do a few fun things. We went bowling and entered the Chucky-Cheese Zone of craziness. It was actually fun. Jake has been taking 2-3 hour naps every day and I must say he is much more delightful a child. We got a medicated humidifier for his room and he sleeps like a dream. We painted the girls room, what was supposed to be lavendar, turned out to be a brighter pink/purple color. We let them choose and they love it. We painted 2 bathrooms and i must say a coat of paint makes all the difference in the world. Mr. Clean erasers can only do so much, ya know? It's been nice to get photos of some of you lately. Best wishes for a happy halloween, incase I don't get back here til then.
