We've been invaded...

All the sick germs of IL (yes, I'm exaggerating) seemed to enter our home this weekend and the last. Reinforcements had to be called upon to help with the girls. Those reinforcements then got sick as well. You just feel awful when that happens. We did have fun amidst the runny noses, upset stomachs, and chills.

The weather was even nice enough to get out. Emma saw some leaves on the ground. It might seem silly to say that when it's Fall. Of course there are leaves on the ground...hello. One word...The Association(okay, so that's two). Apparently it's not okay to have leaves chillin on the ground, so they come around with leaf blowers and blow the fun away for little children. I'm a little envious of people who have huge old trees that produce gigantic leaf piles. Either way, Emma, being so sweet and creative, looked past the lack of leaves and gathered what she could find to make one. What more can a mom ask for?!

TA DA...Here it is!

Let the Jumping commence

Oh yea, some times in life, usually when you're not feeling great as a mom. Feverish, if you will, you let your child go outside without shoes or socks. Coats are a MUST. Come on, I'm not that irresponsible.

It's Friday.

Oh, how we need the weekend. Not all of the week was bad, just the ending. Norah was sick...fighting a stomach bug. Wow, was that hard watching her be sick. It's hard when any kid is sick, but especially a baby. Little by little, I've been giving her more food. She was doing great, until the bug decided to move to another location. Sad! She just keeps food shoveled in her mouth and won't swallow. She knows what the end result will be.

Despite all of that, she did giggle on the swings today. Big breakthrough! She usually cries on the swings at the park. I'm hoping for more giggles this weekend!
