It'd be Nice

I'd like to be blogging. Showing you fun and fab things. But the last two weeks haven't been very fun or fabulous.

There was the stomach flu. Ellis threw up Mandarin oranges and strawberries [which was strangely beautiful... or might have been if it hadn't been on the cream carpeting.]

There is the pink eye [This is the third bout of it in three months. Seems like every time my kids get sick, I get pink eye. Strangely it is always in the same eye.]

We have missed out on a lot of the fun things that we had planned, but we did manage to leave the house from time to time. I have no photographic proof of this, but there are groceries in the 'fridge so I know it's true...

Quick update on the kiddos:
Chase:
Discovered during gymnastics, last week, that she has the ability to "Climb the rope." Only child in her class to be able to do it. She was so proud. Me? Just amazed.

Ellis:
Coming to grips with the idea of Kindergarten. Registration is next week, and the pre-reg meeting got her seriously into thinking about it. And not in a good way. But to get her mind off of that, she decided yesterday to do a deep clean of the living room. A girl that cleans to relieve stress? I could handle having one of those around here.

Avery:
She is still a toothless wonder, but we have had a few middle of the night screaming sessions that I am hopeful can be linked to impending tooth-age. I do feel a few lumps under her gum that were not there before. She has become a speed crawler and champion stair climber. Still not interested in taking those first steps out alone.

A few days, it was touch and go... but we are all alive. Just in case you were worried.
