AGH - H1N1 GO AWAY!!!!

This has been one of the longest weeks of our lives. My kids have never been more sick or slept as much (at times) or as little (at other times) in their short lives. J is actually sleeping right now. He has been asleep since 4 this afternoon so going on 6 1/2 hours. He never sleeps that long. In fact, he's only slept 1 night through the night in his 1 year here on Earth. S took a nap and slept from 2 till 6 then was back down by 9 for the night. L took a quick 2 hour (HAHAHA) nap and was back up by 4. It was kinda cool to have her alone for the 2 hours before S woke up. We don't get alone time with her and Daddy at the same time. She helped scrape the ceiling in the playroom. The ceiling leaked and now we are trying to fix it before my SIL comes to town in 2 weeks. We are going to repaint the ceiling white and then paint the walls each a primary color and then square off an area in L's school corner and make it a chalkboard.

Earlier today L & S played with flour outside. Oh that made such a mess!!! L has played with it in the sink before while I was cooking but the weather was gorgeous so outside it went. They made a huge, slippery mess with that flour. But the sounds and sights were marvelous to me. I love hearing their giggles and playing together. It was a mess to clean up off their bodies though since it stuck like glue and I had to scrub them, which they didn't like.

Another thing - J is so cute when he reaches up for me to pick him up. He shoots both arms way up high, straight above his head and looks down to stretch his arms higher. I hope to get a picture of this, as I want to remember the pose forever. I can't believe my baby is one!!!!!
