10 on Tuesday

1. Sick kids again, I'm so over this. J has a fever of 101 (teeth maybe?) and C threw up. It may be the milk of J's that he got into, or it could be the nasty flu I had, then TT had, and now Mimi and Pop Pop have. Please God no.
2. We've been going to the concerts in the park. They are a ton of fun, but self pictures are still not that good!

3. We all went fishing on Saturday night with Uncle Grant and Pop Pop. Seth got blanked but everyone else caught some!

4. Auntie Christine get in tonight late, we are excited to spend the week with her!!
5. Christin and Seth (uncle pp) Parrish are coming tomorrow and are staying with us for 5 days or so!! We are very excited to host them and hang out with them for the long weekend! And they are probably excited that we got a futon, and they don't have to sleep on the couch.
6. I have so much to do before the Parrish's get here. And I'll still have a hole in my ceiling. Good thing they're really good friends of our family!
7. On Sunday (this past) we had family pictures taken... I'm so excited to get them back!
8. On Sunday (upcoming) Colin is being baptised. It's just a very small thing with only family, but we're excited for that too!
9. We must be seriously potty trained because we just lent out "Elmo's Potty Time", which in our house is what did it! John didn't know how sure he was about it, but handed it over when it was time!
10. I just heard my favorite nurse is back after a long time away!! Okay, now I'm off to clean like a mad woman!

Fishing Yesterday with our family Pop Pop and Uncle Grant:

Sick again, or still

I'm sick, not the flu, but a UTI again I wish they would just give me the medicine when I call in. I probably have more experience than they do on the subject. But maybe the antibiotics will kill my sinus infection A girl can hope!
Col's sick too, diarrhea poor baby. So in honor of my sick kiddo here's last weeks picture.
Hopefully I'll be back to our regularly schedule blogging next week, with pictures, because I found my camera. In my diaper bag.

What day is it?

I guess it's not Tuesday, and really in 33 minutes it will be Thursday, but I have excuses, most of which I will be telling you hear in my "10 on Wednesday really late".
1. I wanted to put pictures in the post and call it wordless Wednesday, but alas I cannot find my camera. It is probably in my new MINI VAN!!!
2. Oh yeah I have been broken by society or whatever but I LOVE it! Why would you ever want to have anything else? It truly is the greatest car ever invented. Maybe I'll do a meet the mini man cribs style soon...
3. Yep I said mini man, JM calls it that and I like it... either that or Stewart.
4. I got the flu Sunday night, which is one of the reasons I'm behind. When I get the flu it's bad, not kind of feeling cruddy, but like, hey should we be in a hospital bad. Luckily I've recovered I think.
5. Recently Toll House cookie dough was recalled because of e.coli. I'm pretty sure I ate at LEAST 2 packages raw. If my insides start to bleed, my flu is really e.coli and I SHOULD go to the hospital. And I should probably stop eating cookie dough, raw, as a snack, or a meal.
6. Collie got another tooth, the lower right one. It's just so cute!!
7. My house, and to some extent my life is a little out of control right now. Probably because of the flu or e.coli or whatever. I have tons of half finished projects that need to be finished. Because I want to park in the garage again, in the new mini man.
8. Have I told you that the master shower has been leaking? Oh no I forgot to mention that? Oh well I was probably busy ripping out part of my main level ceiling or having tile guy tell me that the entire shower has to come out and be redone. I know it happens when houses age, but wait my house isn't even 5. Man old age is going to suck...
9. My children are still not sleeping. In fact I returned the book (that would be book number 4) to the library. We're going to give it a few more days, but I'm not all that hopeful. And the 8 or so cups of milk JM is drinking each night are creating the need for MORE diapers to be changed mid-night. And even the triple stuffed cloth diapers are not cutting it. So I'm on the hunt for a good night time disposable. Recommendations?
10. I STILL don't feel sleepy, but am going to try because I NEED to sleep tonight, even if it is only 22 minutes until morning. Because tomorrow is a new day full of swimming, kickball and God only know what else, and because I need to be really for all of it, which will probably start in 6 hours and 18 minutes. But I'll be ready for it. Especially with the new mini man:)

Friday Flashback

This is John after a bath in November of 2007. Auntie Christine did a little work on it, and I love it! I think I'll have her work on this one of Colin from April next...

A very late Ten on Tuesday

Today will be a birthday edition to commemorate all of the wonderful gifts, well wishes and loves that I received today!

1. By the time I checked my inbox around 10, I already had 15 new emails wishing me happy birthday! (an one slightly inappropriate one about improving my manhood?!?)
2. My hubby bought me a new Coach purse, I wouldn't have gotten a better one myself.

3. He also got me a Kapoosh. It is a really cool knife holder that I really really wanted!


4. He also made me breakfast burritos. Because Cheerleading started back up today, so I was a workin' girl!
5. My friend Anne brought me coffee, but I was at aforementioned cheer practice:( We're headed to coffee at 8 tonight:)
6. No less than 8 friends and family members called to wish me a happy birthday!
7. John Michael sang me "happy birthday" 200 or so times today, so I had that going for me!
8. Colin gave me hundreds of open mouth kisses throughout the day!
9. Seth got Carino's for dinner, (for those of you who don't know I got a job there when I was in high school just so I could get the discount:)
10. Seth bought 3 clown cones from Baskin Robbins for dessert, because I'd never had one.
