i cant wait!

Well Moriyah definately has whatever stomach bug we all had. Which translates into being awake much of the night. Yuk! She is now sleeping and i have tried to lay her down four times but she just wont stay asleep. i have given in and am just holding her. i started surfing the web and was looking at my new camera! Its the canon rebel xti, the digital slr! it was ordered last week and i keep thinking that i'm going to get a knock on the door and it'll be here. no such luck yet. im just sooo excited. this is what i remember feeling like for the couple weeks before christmas as a kid. my poor kids are going to hate me for the first couple weeks but i'll have to get some practice in. hee hee hee!

HELP!

This is the life of a mother. So far this week i've had 3 kids with diarrhea, 2 vomitting (with horrible aim i might add), two fevers, several upset stomachs, a runny nose and i think Hannah woke up this morning with the flu. All she's done today is sleep. Moriyah just got 3 shots, so i've ruined the only well kid. i don't want to have to deal with anymore bodily fluids, please just keep them to yourself.

I can feel myself starting to succumb to whatever has been floating around my house and all i want to do is go to bed. Sadly that is not a luxury a mommy gets when she is sick. Lucky for my kids that our screen restrictions will be very loosely enforced while i fight this bug.

We need a time out

This past Friday I substitute taught at the boys school for PE. I ended up having both the boys classes during the day. Here are a few things that I learned...

1. Every third grade girl will cry no matter what.

2. Boys need far less encouragement to play basketball.

3. Even if a game is not about scoring points kids will figure out a way to create a point system and therefore a winner.

4. When there is irrational crying nothing really helps, so just pray the forty minutes ends quickly.

5. Every kid wants to offer helpful advice about what is going on, even though you clearly have two perfectly good eyes and ears.

6. It really sucks when the teacher doesn't leave plans for you to follow.

7.Whistles are very commanding.

8. Blood gets everywhere and very quickly.

9. I have two of the best boys ever, and they're both good at basketball.

10. I never want to teach PE again.

This and That

My boys have been blogging lately. Many of you know of their old site, scurvy. They decided to go solo and get their own blogs. Isaac kept Scurvy and Andrew created a new blog called Meme. Check it out and look at the world through the eyes of two little boys. Please leave them a comment. they had come home everyday and checked their blog for comments. Only to be disappointed. I made a mental note to leave them one. Andrew checked his blog and said, "Yes! I got a comment!" Then I heard, "Oh, it was only mom."

Moriyah is seriously chubby. and we love it! I think that she's going to catch up to Hannah any moment. Hannah feels like you might break her if you squueze too tight. She just now weighs over 22 lbs. They are both darling and i love them very much. I would like to stop having the opportunity to love on them from the hours of 10 pm and 7 am. Hannah has very rarely slept through the night since september. Most nights Moriyah does better than her. I would love prayers for long uninterupted sleep.

We have been going to a church that is called SNC, it makes me think of SNL, saturday night church. They have a great band, the worship feels a bit like a rock concert. We are trying to get settled in their. the families pastor is very nice and a couple of the boys friends go there. The wolfgangs are doing pretty good over in very sunny and warm Redmond!
