Ah Man…..summer begins and all the kids get sick.

Jared and Jamin were sick on Sat-Monday. Everyone was fine on Tuesday.

We decided to spend a couple of hours playing at Adrienne’s and would you believe when we left Arielle was saying her throat was sore….and when we got home Stacia had a 101.4* fever? ARGH. I hate this. . . but even this must be in God’s plan…right? I guess I’m not meant to do this Motherhood study in person…and I’m not meant to go swimming tomorrow….I’ll stay home and get some more “things” done. Poor Arielle is throwing up – the boys didn’t do that. I’m so thankful for the SHS list. I quickly emailed that I needed the weight chart that goes with Tylenol doses and whammo – I’ve got it printed and in my cabinet. I’m blessed.

Jamin made another $60 today. The lawn mower he was using quit…not sure what or why…he has plans to do another lawn tomorrow.

I made some more 7 grain bread and rolls today. I also made some yummy fresh squeezed lemonade.

I had a few children chuckles today. We seem to be having veggie confusion. Jared saw the nectarines and said “Wow – PLUMS” – honestly they are fairly tiny. Then I had the cauliflower out to put some in the salad and Zander said “POPCORN!”

Zander gave me KISSES today and he told me he loved me yesterday. We are having a good week. He is a totally different kid when we get the food thing right…..motivation.

Well, Stacia is sleeping on my lap – so I’ll go put her down and call it a night.

Sorry about the sick kids. We just went through this. It started one kid at a time. It lasted for three days each with a day in between each kid. The younger they were the more tummy problems they had the older ones had more fever with the sore throat. Poor dh ended up with it last only to find out he had strep throat on top of it! But we survived and it gave me an unquestioned reason to stay home! LOL Praying for your family.

Oh! What do you use for sweetener in your homemade lemonade? I make it all the time, but I hate the amount of sugar required.
