the week

monday morning joshua woke up with a fever and his legs hurting. which means he has strep. so we were at the dr at 7:30 am and he got a positive strep test and got to stay home. i love having him home. he really felt miserable though and didn't get off the couch ALL day. super sad. and also super thankful for doctors and antibiotics! {and no one else got it!!! another awesome thing about having older kids...they aren't slobbering all over each other all day like babies do. or maybe that was just mine?!?}

 

 this girl. she's a LOT to handle. but i'm so thankful I am the one that gets to handle her! because when she's fun, she's REALLY fun!! {telling me about her day...}

and a couple minutes later working on a chore...

beauty. sight AND sound.

came across this picture of chubby sawyer as a baby. that kid. he makes my heart explode.

i forgot to take the meat out for dinner one night. so we had grilled cheese and apple slices for dinner. there were NO complaints.

i have no self control. none. zip.
and i had to make brownies for pat to take to work. so i made them at 9 am in my sweaty running clothes. and i wasn't tempted to eat the batter at ALL! not one lick! who knew?

but then i made these at 4 pm the same day. different story. ugh. they were good, though :-)

fun halloween breakfast. greek yogurt, oranges and eggs. can you tell it's a "candy corn"?? i know, i know. me and my "healthy" ways. i just couldn't start their day with donuts or ghost pancakes when it's going to be full of candy all.day.long! they'll be in therapy one day because of me. that's ok. i need therapy because of THEM! :-)
