week 17 in pictures

oh, what a week!

sick. all. week.

everybody. somebody. anybody (exept dave).

sunday it was shane, micah and i.

monday, it was shane, micah, layla, and i.

tuesday, shane was better.

wednesday, micah was better.

thursday, I was worse!

friday, I thought layla was going to be better, but really wasn’t.

saturday was the best day all week, and even that wasn’t so spectacular!

sunday: micah slept most of the day in my bed. he got up a grand total of 3 times, all of which were trips to the bathroom and then directly back into bed. poor kid.Picasa53

monday: layla went to school in the morning and I took the boys to the doctor. that afternoon, I got a call from layla’s teacher that she had fallen asleep in class and wasn’t feeling well. I went and got her, and everyone spent the afternoon passed out.Picasa56

tuesday: more sleeping sick people. toby always keeps the sick person company. it’s so sweet.003

wednesday: I attempted to be productive. got two boxes packed of kitchen stuff, but was sneezing so much and felt so awful I had to quit. the dishes are still all stacked up on the counter, waiting to be packed.Picasa64

thursday: worst day for me. I woke up feeling like my head was going to explode. still sneezing my brains out and coughing my lungs out. dave stayed home from work that day to manage things. my voice couldn’t even last through reading stories, so he filled in and read layla her chapter of little house on the prairie.114

friday: shane, walking home from the bus, french horn in hand.117

saturday: dave was mowing the lawn and had to move the climber. micah wanted to “help”… 118

and then there is the instagram entourage:

I have my 2x2 photo pocket pages all ready to go! can’t wait to stick them all in.

and next week, I hope my week is severely lacking in pictures of sleeping, sick children!

Road Trip Day 6

Yesterday was our last full day in Milwaukee. Shane arrived in the morning, but promptly went to bed and slept most of the day, since he had caught a flight at midnight to get out here. Matt took the kids fishing for a little while in the afternoon. Layla caught 1, Lauren caught 1, and Micah caught 4. They also did a little canoeing. Then there was some swimming, where Lauren, Madeline, Micah, and Layla were all trying to flip Dave out of his donut floatie. It took them like 20 minutes and was pretty funny to watch. Also, his toenails were stupid-long and some kids got mauled. Later Melissa, Doug, and Josh came over. We played corn hole, basketball, badminton, and an epically terrible game of kickball at the park. Until Josh kicked the ball over the fence and lost it. Good times. We brought Matt some Woodinville Whiskey from home. And then we impressed everybody with our $2 Harbor Freight tennis racket bug zapper. And Simon decided that Shane was a good enough human.

Road Trip Day 8

We've been a full week on the road now. 2 more to go. We started our Sunday in church at St. Paul's, where Dave worked (and the reason we ever lived here in the first place) from 2004-2006. Then it was lunch at Hill's, a bit more driving around, and discussions of various places (the fairgrounds, the bridge that got blown up, etc.). Then we went to visit Fred and Brenda, and wound up riding around on 4 wheelers all afternoon. Then, back to Danny's for steak dinner - so yummy! And then over to the Lange's for some puppy time! And we finished off with soft serve in a baseball helmet at Frosty Boy. It was a great day. So awesome to see so many friends and visit important places. License plate and state stats are the same as yesterday.

week 46 in pictures

sunday: when dave went in to wake up layla, this is how he found her. face, essentially, smooshed between the bunk bed rail and the mattress, and the covers pulled up over her head. monday: roscoe, chilling on the pooh couch. dakota figured out how to get it to open up to make a nice little doggy bed. roscoe just took advantage when it was vacated. tuesday: my 2 pages of allergy test results . the red ones have to go! wednesday: micah fell asleep during quiet time, snuggling a domino. he had been pretending it was a phone or a video game and insisted on taking it in with him for quiet time. thursday: the missing lug nut . friday: crazy busy day. kids had half days at school because of conferences. I has my workout in the morning, then came home and tidied up because tina was coming over at 11:30 to cut my hair, shane’s hair, and my mom’s hair. I even went to the bus stop w/ part of my hair clipped up because she wasn’t done drying it! then I had to run off to do back-to-back ...

how to cook a turkey–by layla, age 6

“you get the turkey from the wild, where the wild turkeys are. you catch it with a net. to prepare it, you cut off the legs and the bones, and the beak and the eyes, too. you can stuff it with stuffing that is made of chicken. then, you put it in a big pan and stick it in the oven. you cook it at 4 to 5 degrees for 11 minutes. then you serve it by taking it out of the oven, cutting it up a little, and putting some spices on it. then you put it on plates and people can dish up all the other food, too.”

Road Trip Day 11

Happy 13th birthday, Layla! We woke up to another hot day, after a hot night. We left our trailer at the campground and headed into town to visit the Louisville Slugger museum. We were all pretty excited about this. That's Micah at the bottom of the bat. It's gigantic!Inside, we the guided tour and saw them making all the bats and learned all about that process. You're not allowed to take pictures in that part, but there's plenty else to do outside of that part, and we took pictures of all that. I got my picture with Ken Griffey, Jr. (sort of), Micah practiced his pitching, and we all got to hold the actual bats of current or former major leaguers. I went for Edgar Martinez's bat, Shane did Ken Griffey, Jr's, Dave and Micah both held Willie McCovey's, and Layla went for Evan Longoria's.Our official report on this one: Do it. Totally worth it. We then went back to camp, ate some lunch, shut down the trailer, and hooked up to head to our next destination,...
