Sick Babies :(

Well we have had two weeks now of sickness in our house.  First, the week before Halloween Riley went down with a bad stomach bug.  She made a quick recovery in time for a great Halloween weekend.  Then last Monday she woke up with a fever and a bad cough.  She then gave said cough and fever to her daddy and sister.  So far I have been spared.  I hope I stay healthy so that I can continue to take care of everyone else.  Basically, we have been trapped in the house for two weeks.  No dance, kindermusik, gymnasitics,  Bible Study Fellowship, or library time.  Needless to say I am a little stir crazy and looking forward to getting back into our routine. 

Halloween Madness

Well we have survived Halloween weekend.  Lyla was a witch and Riley was a Carolina Cheerleader, Cinderella, Belle, and finally Tinkerbell.  John was a dork I mean Duke fan.  We kicked off the weekend with trunk or treat at church Friday night.  Then Saturday we had a neighborhood wide party for all the kids.  Topping it all off with trick or treating.  There are almost 500 homes in our neighborhood it feels like we hit them all.  We are all exhausted.  Glad we were able to have Halloween after the week Riley had fight at stomach bug.  However she recovered and we now have enough candy to last well into 2010.  Hope you guys do too!

C*U*T*E

Here is a cute picture of the girls sitting on the couch the other night.  Lyla's hair is styled with mashed bananas.  If you ever run out of mouse or hair gel I think bananas will do the trick. 

We are doing great.  Just seems like we are going 90 miles an hour all the time.  We have activities of one sort or another everyday of the week except on Monday.  I am really enjoying this time with my kids and trying not to worry too much about the job front.  Unless of course, you are a potential employer and you are reading my blog.  ;)

My grandparents Patty and Vaughn celebrated 59 years of wedded bliss yesterday.  That seems like such a long time.  When I called to ask what they did to celebrate she told me they had gone to the dump and then to Walmart.  While it may not sound romantic they must be doing something right I mean 59 years is no joke.

Things I have learned...

Ok so some more things I have learned....
1.  4 year olds are ridicoulously bossy.
2.  Mother really means: Human napkin.
3.  I have learned since having children that I can sleep on the smallest sliver of mattress. 
4.  Sleeping through the night is a distant memory.
5.  I really am starting to feel like Riley's taxi service and she is only 4. 
6.  Setzer's can not hear ANYONE when the tv is on...it's like a genetic condition.  (This includes my husband and children)
7.  My 10 year old dog will never stop peeing in the house.
8.  Laundry is never done.
9.  If you don't do dishes for one whole day they literally could stack all the way to the ceiling.
10. I can no longer find spell check on this thing!!!!
