Early February

It's hard to tell from the picture, but Abby is asleep on an OPEN tub of Legos.  Her head is resting on the rim of the tub.  The only thing between her body and a pile of pointy Legos is that sheet.  Funny girl!

So far this month we've had a lot of snow and a lot of sickness.  We'd made it all the way to February without getting sick, but someone in our family has been sick every single day this month.  (We still are.)

Our nice deep snow was over a foot!  The kids had fun playing in it.

They sledded right down our porch steps.

Brig went from a cold to a stomach virus.  On Sunday he was almost over the cold (hadn't caught the stomach bug yet), but not feeling the best, so when he fell asleep in the Mother's lounge at church we stayed put...for two hours.

We've had some rough nights with sick kids this week.  My Monday night looked something like this:
-9pm-11:30pm: sick baby who wouldn't go to sleep
-12am-1am: deal with Jim's phone situation (he washed it)
-1:30am: kid with ear infection (Alex)
-2am-3am: glorious sleep!
-3am-5am: up with baby 6 times
-5am-7:30am: puke x4 (Laurel and Abby), up with baby 2x
-7:30am-8:15am: exhausted sleep
-8:15am-8:30am: puke x2 (Laurel)
 Total sleep for me: 1hr 45 min (Did I mention that I also had the stomach virus?)

I thought everyone was finally on the mend yesterday, and then we had two kids puke early this morning.  This little lady's breath was lethal!  I'm thinking it will all be uphill from here.  We WILL be healthy next week!
