This Week

This week and last we have really been battling sickness. They all three had strep throat last week. They don't seem to be that much better as I looked in their throats today and they were still swollen and red. Joseph, in fact, even had a temp of 104 last night! Yikes, poor guy. Thankfully, it is gone today!

They just love each other. Actually all my kids have really different relationships with each other. Hannah and Joseph are big buddy little buddy. He thinks of her as so big. He always is calling out Hannah, Hannah. He loves to know where she is at all times.

My little man. He just loves contruction equipment. Wonder where he gets that, huh?

I haven't put any pictures of me on here lately. We haven't really gotten back on the bandwagon of sorts...but we are being a lot better than we were! Hannah took this picture for me :)

Emily took this one. I was just barely in the shot :) I had to bend down or it would have been all my chest...too funny! Also, you can see my new glasses I got. They even have rhinestones (sp?) on the sides. Diva glasses :)

No, this was not taken in WI. We actually got a measurable snowfall here last night. I am not sure what the grand total is for Red Bud. I think maybe 4-5 inches. We had a super time (well, that is after trying to get everyone dressed for outside which took about 40 minutes...ahhhhh). We went out and shoveled the front. The kids brought their shovels. Of course I could only find one red shovel, one blue shovel and one rake. Well, if you know my kids really well you know that Emily claimed the blue one. She is passionate about blue. Well, then Hannah wanted the red one because it was bigger and because any smart 4 year old knows we don't use a rake for snow. So the fighing ensued. Oh well. We got lots of fresh air and the front sidewalk is cleared :)

They really loved being out in the snow. Well, I guess Joseph didn't really dig it as he couldn't walk very well in it. Then once he fell, he couldn't get up. So, we walked to the post office and city hall to pay our bills. I had to carry him on my shoulders. That was ok because it kept him safer as he is quite the little runaway lately, plus it gave me a better workout :) So many of the sidewalks even of the businesses weren't even cleared. Maybe they gave away their shovels as we haven't had snow in ages

Maybe he didn't like it because he hat kept falling over his eyes :) His favorite part by far was throwing the snow and eating it! I was shoveling my pregnant neighborns walk and he just plopped himself in the middle of a pile and had a feast...thankfully none of it was yellow!
