Sickness

Everyone in my house has been sick for like the last month. I am so tired of all the sickness. It started back mid-January and none of us have been able to kick it. I'm not sure if it's just the constant weather changes here in Houston, or if we just keep passing the same germs back and forth, but I want it to stop!

This weekend I have the same stuffy nose, clogged ears, sore throat, and watery eyes that Brian had last weekend and the kids had the two weekends before that. I was really hoping that this weekend would be the one where we would all be back to normal and we would be able to do something... but I guess not.

Oh well, here's hoping for a better weekend NEXT weekend. :)

My Blogging Adventure

So, it seems like everyone I know has a blog. I love reading other people's blogs and keeping up with what happens in their lives, so I guess it was natural I would eventually take the plung. I hope that I will use this as a way to write down all the things that my kids say and do, so I will never forget them and so family and friends can see a small glimpse of Brian and I's crazy life with two kids. :)

So here it goes... welcome to my blog.

Lauren's Words

Lauren was helping me unload the dishwasher last night. She’s gotten really good at sorting the utensils and putting them in the correct places in the drawer. Anyway, we were talking about what she had done that day at daycare and she informed me she had dug in the dirt outside.

Lauren: Momma, you know what I found in the dirt?
Rebecca: What?
L: Leaf-ezs
R: Leaves?
L: Yup.
R: They are called leaves. Not Leaf-ezs. Leaves. You try.
L: Leeaavveess?
R: Good job, that’s right.
L: Oh, okay. I found leeaveess in the dirt.

About this time, she had finished putting the utensils away.

L: Momma, I’m done. Do we have any more knife-ezs to put away?

Geez, who taught this child to talk? :)
