Another crazy week!

Right now I'm wondering how I'm going to do it all when I go back to work.  I've been sick for over a week so that is contributing to my pessimistic mood.  I went to the doctor two days ago because I was certain that I had strep throat and I also had a nagging pain in my hip.  She made me feel like a hypochondriac because apparently nothing is wrong...other than a bad case of tonsillitis/head cold.  I guess there is nothing they can do for that.  The hip just is likely a strain from running/slipping on snow and ice for 8 miles.  I guess I haven't been very smart lately.

The kids have also been sick.  Vincent has the same chest cold that I have.  Zachary and Isabella have both spent days home from school throwing up.  I think we are all worn down.  Kyle is the only one who has maintained his health!

We spent some time out in the snow when it snowed last week, building snow men and having snow ball fights.  The kids had lots of fun doing that...while Kyle was in the warm/toasty house with Vincent...hmmm..maybe that's why we are the sick ones!

Kyle had a great birthday.  He got a flip-video camera!  It's really easy to use and fun to play with.  We've been making short videos of the kids and soon we'll be able to burn them to dvd to preserve them forever!  Nice!

 

 

 

Delicious Nords Bakery Birthday Cake!

I finished knitting my first baby hat.  It turned out pretty nice.  It looks great in the pictures but if you were to inspect it up close you can see a few mistakes.  I had trouble with the double pointed needles.  I tend to lose track of what I'm doing with 3 kids and 3 animals running around.  There are a couple of small holes in the top and it looks a little messy...but maybe next time will be better.  Currently I'm working on a pair of booties that were supposed to be for Vincent but they may instead fit Isabella!  Yes, they turned out a little too big!

We did have a day of nice weather this past weekend and we were able to take the kids out to the park to practice ball.  Isabella didn't last long, but she was also coming down with that stomach virus too.  They did have fun though.

 

  

Zachary..Turn the glove around!

Vincent showing a little baby attitude!  

Kyle made an awesome soup last night.  It was a Bolivian recipe that he got off of the Lenten rice bowl.  It was a great cheesy vegetable soup.  He even followed the recipe and included the red and green peppers!  It tasted great!

That's it for the new news.  Sounds like Vincent is awake so I better attend to him!  Until next time....
