siCk.....

This week was BRUTAL! Everyone but me got sick and with realLY high feveRs , scary!
I was checking temps every 20 minutes, all 3 kids! We had a couple of 104's sneak up very quickly, so i was very on top of the stripping down, wiping with a tepid cloth, and the drinks of EVERY kind!!
Thank God for our little stove!!
Not much to do but stories and videos....
I thought homemaDe cinnamon rolls would help. It made the whole house smell cozy....
Darby read 4 Annette Mysteries...
I allowed them outside for 10 minutes just to see the pond frozen ( Max is OBSESSED with water of any kind).
And poOr max was hit the hardest. This is day 5 for him, today. I am trying to look at it like, I got to cuddle the kids that are sometimes too busy for a cuddle, even though I am emotionally and physically speNt!!

AAAhhhh... nine. My sweet boy is nine. I am soO thankful for his health and that I've been blessed to share his world for nine years! He is so jolly, sweet,& patient! I could teach 3 dance classes in a row (when he was a baby) and have him in the class, sitting on his baby blanket, quietly playing! UNREAL! I realized what a feat that was when my next one came along.... No bringing HIM to work with me! lol! I cry on all of my children's birthdays. The kids just accept this, so it's ok. I actually did it the night before this time, so I kind of got it out of the way. Now I have a year to accept this new thing. I love you, Dakota!

My little red STovE

So, we've been workin on this baby for about 3 weeks now. We cleaned it, sanded it, put on orange AND red paint so it would match a piece of art . We've been receiving pieces every day in the mail.It's all together except for ONE piece!! They said it's on it's way. Of course it's been freezing for several nights in a row!!
