Soccer Begins!!

Ever since the last soccer season ended, Bodin has been adimant that he was going to make a goal this season. He was good last season, but a little timid. He then was sick for his first practice so I had not seen how he was going to do. He woke up Saturday morning and told me that he was going to kick some booties at the game. So off we go.

Bodin did an awesome job! He made 3 goals and played some great defense. When we got home he said, "See mom, I told you I was going to kick some booty!"

A Smurf???

Well, McKade really wanted to play with Bodin the other day. I was trying to help McKinna get some make-up work done from all the school that she missed and I turned around to see this...

I had no idea that he had gotten into the fingerpaints, and was eating it. He seemed to like it. At least he picked out a color to match his pajamas. He is either a budding artist or turning into a smurf!

One sick family!

This past week was one of the worst weeks ever. It started off wth me. Next to Bill (Shani's dad) I get the strangest viruses/sicknesses. The weekend of Sep 20th the top of my head started to get sore. My hair was very tender to the touch (yes, my hair). I could only compare it to cat’s whiskers except for when my hair was touched it would register pain. I thought nothing of it because other than that I was not feeling sick.

Well by Wednesday my head was really hurting. The pain started drifting down to my left ear, felt like a bad ear infection, and my left tonsil, felt swollen and felt like it was being ripped open when I ate. I decided to go to the Doc's to find out what I had. Strep? NO! Ear infection? NOPE! That can only leave one possible answer, THE SHINGLES, DUH!

What the..... Who in the heck gets shingles on their head? To top it off, he tells me the same thing every Doc tells me when I go in. "Your to young to have this" I hear it all the time.

So I stay home from work for three days and what happens, Shani comes down with the flu! I’m suppose to feel sorry for her but all I can think of is "Oh great, I'm going to get that too and be out of work for another week!!" SORRY SHANI, I DO LOVE YOU AND FELT BAD FOR YOU.

Well as all of you know, crap rolls down hill and all the kids get sick having 104 and 105 temps, freaked me out!! Funny thing was, it didn't bother McKinna one bit, she was fine, until she got an ear infection. Talk about sleepless nights!! Good thing I wasn't working.

Everyone is back to normal now, with the exception of McKinna with her ear infection and my shingled up head which still hurts like HE double hock sticks. I had them on my stomach about 4 years ago and they are really painful but what can I do?

Here is to anyone sick and having a bad day!

The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From the Tree

Okay, so I wake up early every Saturday morning with good intentions. I get up at 6 to make the kids their weekly pancake breakfast and then start cleaning the kitchen before Ben gets up. I had ordered a box of apples and had sat them on the ground for no more than 2 minutes to wipe down the counter when I turned around to this...

McKade helped himself to climb into the box and start throwing the apples out as fast as he could. The apples may all be bruised, but he sure looked cute doing it.

It's official..... It's a GIRL!

Went to the doc's yesterday and found our baby to be a girl, McKinna is soooo excited. Two girls and two boys! Only problem is the fluid around the baby is low so now they want us to come in every 2 weeks to check it out. Other than that they said the baby looks normal but small....DUH!!
