Overheard: Aaron to Monkey - "If you try some pie, I'll give you a carrot."
Doesn't that sound wrong? He is quite the opposite of his sister... who also wouldn't try the pie (because it was blackberry). Our kids are weird.
The girl went to her first ballet audition this weekend - a low pressure one for a small production of Coppelia - she thought it was SO fun. Hooray for a positive first audition experience!
I'm feeling much better than last week - but still not feeling quite 100% - why? I don't think it's H1N1 because I haven't had a fever, but it's seemed rather flu-ish and whatever it is has kicked my butt. Still, I'm grateful, as it could have been worse.
Excedrin is my friend this week. Also Takeout. Check this awesome Papa Murphy's coupon we used.
The kids were going nuts at the end of last week, since their routines were off (I had no energy for school) and I didn't feel well enough to take them outside to play. On the plus side they haven't caught whatever it is that I had - so that's good - and kinda surprising. I'm trying to get us back to normal today - but still feeling super tired and foggy-brained. Hence this jumble of a post today.
Thanks to my little sister for hooking me up with season 4 of The Office while I crashed pitifully on my mom's couch on Friday. Also thanks to my mom for making us all breakfast when I showed up saying whining something like this: "I think I need some protein - could you make me some eggs? Oh, and Monkey forgot to eat his pancakes at our house - could you feed him? Oh, and Thomas only had bananas because we're out of all other gluten-free breakfast foods for him - could you feed him, too?" Yeah, I was pathetic and my mom was awesome - as always.
Thomas's current favorite movie is the 4th disc (bonus features) of Star Wars. He's gotten such a kick out of 'the making of'. And now all his playmobil people are filming movies (Action! Cut!).
We opened a jar of the peaches that we canned - yummy!
Last night we ate pumpkin pie for dinner - from one of our pumpkins - also yummy.
Overheard: Princess to Thomas- 'I'm not a towel!"
Way to go, Real Salt Lake! Woo!
Must vacuum before visiting teachers arrive.
The N is stuck on my keyboard - so annoying and making my H act weird, too.
How is next week December? Seriously? Better get an advent list ready for Pip.
We aren't doing the Lucia program this year - it was scheduled for the same night as the girl's Nutcracker performance. Darn it - but at the same time it's kinda nice to have a lighter schedule this time of year.
Must. Reclaim. Laundry room.That is all.
