And so it begins

Fall is here, the leaves are falling, the mornings are cool and cloudy and let's not forget---all of the children are getting sick!

Sunday Kaleigh was really sick. She was throwing up all day and wasn't able to keep anything down. Last night, Ryan was up most of the night doing the same thing. So needless to say, he is home with us today and in case you are wondering...it's insanity!


You wouldn't know it to look at him, he doesn't even look sick and certainly doesn't act like he's sick. I like having him around but he's always on patrol (he's like an undercover police officer).


So Ryan woke up at 7am, Kaleigh woke up shortly after that at 7:15. They sat down, had their toast and started watching PBS. See, Kaleigh and I have this routine where we take Ryan to school and then come home to have breakfast and she watches her favorites on TV (Curious George, Clifford, Super Why and Dragon Tales). While she's watching those, she'll come check on me or try to help me with what I'm doing but it is our morning quiet time and I enjoy that. After Dragon Tales is over, she knows it's nap time and/or quiet time. I don't really care if she naps or not just as long as she "rests".


When you throw Ryan into our daily routine, it makes it complicated because he's so active. So far it hasn't been too bad though. I've had to get on to Ryan about running around and yelling (more proof he's not THAT sick) and Kaleigh has been good.


I still don't feel good, I'm hoping I start feeling better soon though. I think some of it has to do with the weather but a big part of it has to do with how I feel mentally. It's been up then down then up then down, nothing constant and it's wearing me out.


On a good note, Kid Nation is on tonight. I don't know if any of you watch it but I think it's a good show. I can't wait to see the episode tonight!!

Here are some pictures, as promised. I will write more later.



Ryan the day he busted his head open (after we came home from the hospital)




And here's what his head looked like last night



And here's one of Kaleigh playing basketball with her football...go figure
