Sick family

Hunter, "Don't cough into your hands!  Cough into your sleeve!!!  That's GROSS!!  That's a HUGE way to spread germs around.  Now I know who has been spreading the germs around here."

This is what I heard this morning coming from the toy room.  Not sure who he was talking to since all four boys were in there.

John took all of them to the walk-in emergency clinic this weekend while I was out on some shoots and they all tested positive for Influenza A.  Hunter also has an ear infection on top of it.  He has been home from school since Wednesday.  The school called for me to come and pick him up around 10 a.m.  Then Tyler and Brody came down with it Friday night.  And finally Greyson showed signs of it on Saturday.  Now John and I have a bad cough, which is how it started with Hunter.  John also is very achy.  It has been rough.  All I want to do is sleep.  There has been a whole lot of t.v. watching in our house in the last week or so.  We are hoping to send the boys back to school before Thanksgiving but it looks unlikely.  Good thing it's a short week.  Hopefully they will be well by Thursday so we can even have Thanksgiving.  So so sick.

It snowed last night and the boys were very excited to see it out our front window when they woke up.  They all want to go out and play in it but I'm not so sure it's a good idea.  They'll just have to wait.

Crazy mornings

To say mornings are hectic around here is an understatement.  Always rushing, constant commands..."eat faster...Chuck (bus driver) is coming!"

Well, today when the boys got off their half-day bus and Brody took off his jacket this is what I saw.



Of course I had to grab my camera and make him pose for a picture.  Well then Greyson saw me laughing at him and insisted that his shirt be backwards too.  My boys just crack me up!

I suppose we could get up earlier but then where would be the humor in that?
