  • hello red shoes that made me feel like i got dressed today.
    (it appears no amount of color boost helped the pale winter white look of my legs : ) so we left it as is!)

    this is my go at a hello monday post. 
    it’s late, i should be in bed … or at least picking up the kitchen.
    are you tired of hearing about us being sick? i am! my one sick day was yesterday & even that included a sick 2 year old & a baby who eats every 3 hours. so today we had to be up & going …. or at least giving a go at faking it : )  we will be done talking about sick.

    switching topics -
    there’s this article going around, i’ve seen it re-posted again & again on facebook  … your children want you.
    it was actually really good & i’m not usually a link-clicker. ha, link-clicker …. that’s my new made up word of the day : )

    ok so here we go, now that we’re practically ready to say hello to tuesday, hello monday.
    all pictures taken this afternoon.


    hello work van & a little boy whose getting big –


    hello back to school & making sentences from new spelling words –

  • what a fun post! love this kind!
    here’s to a no-sickness-Tuesday!!!

  • hello too i liked this post too. Little Reagan is so cute.
    and I want to come help you do that laundry. I tend to get weary of sickness around the house too, and I only have one…

  • I love the quilt on your bed. I love quilts!! I’m glad you guys are feeling better. Those sick days are hard.

    Fact..Emma is still eating every 2 hours!! :/

  • Yay for babies feeling better!  Maybe the laundry fairy came while you were sleeping! ;) Wouldn’t that be wonderful!

    @ajoyfulnusiance - How old is Emma?  Because I have a Josiah who is 3 months and still eating every two hours with only the occasional three or four hour lapse at night.  He’s my 5th and my 1st nonsleeper. 

  • @fruitloops115 - Maybe you could just come & make whoopie pies instead …

    …. I promise I’d share you with April : )

    @ajoyfulnusiance - 2 hours can sure chunk your day up fast, huh! Bless you.
    Arent Emma & chad close in age …?

  • @TrentTribe - Guess what? It’s all still here ; ) In fact I think it has some rare disease … ’cause it grew in the night after everyone changed clothes!! Hope you got some sleep, have a great day!!

  • Bummer about another round of the yuck!  I for got that Rex was back to work this week, did 6 weeks already fly by or is Rex going back early?  Love the red shoes!  Love you and you idea of having Thelma come make us whoopie pies!

  • @inanorchard - It was actually 7! weeks, isnt that crazy??!!

    Back to the real world : )

  • @trenttribe, Emma is 41/2 months now. You poor thing! Little Josiah isn’t even sleeping at night!? Emma will usually sleep about 6-7 hours at night. which I am thankful for, as she doesn’t really sleep much during the day.

    @HOLDfast, Yes, our babies are close.  I have enjoyed even more your blog now that our babies are born. :) The hardest thing about the every 2 hours is when we try and go somewhere. I always end up trying to nurse her somewhere around town. I am trying to transition to a bottle (especially now that I am working part time) but she isn’t doing so hot on it. :(

  • hello my sweet alli friend! :)
    fun post.
    boo for sickness.
    that’s been us this week too.

    i like your green walls and peace sign!!! :)
