So, I don't like being called a Slacker!

Obviously, I'm a little more motivated to blog lately. Why, I'm not sure except that maybe it is saving lives. Yes, saving lives. You see, typing right now is saving Walker's life. I cannot kill him and type at the same time, so he lives (he is not laying down like he is supposed to, imagine that). Had I blogged yesterday, it would have saved Lauren's life. She got caught drawing on her bedroom wall instead of laying down to sleep (busted!!). Her dad saved her life (SUCKER!). So, that's my new philosophy, blogging saves lives.

Back to what's new, Lauren is now 3!!! She had a bit of a tough time letting go of 2. She's sentimental that way. Unfortunately for her, she was sick on her birthday, so she really did not enjoy it at all. Now that she is back to her normal naughty self (see above paragraph) she is enjoying the spoils of her birthday!

Walker and Brady are doing well. Brady is such a little boy now! He blows his own nose and points to me when he talks, although I have no idea what he is saying. Whatever it is, it is very important! Walker continues his amazing feats in swim lessons. He went off the diving board, and volunteered to be first!

So that's the news for tonight, hope it was enlightening!

Total Slacker

Yes, I am a total slacker with updates. But, since I feel like my head is going to implode and I can't sleep, I thought I would do a brief update.
So that's been the story this week. We have all been sick. Doug came home from school last Friday with whatever this is and is still not 100%. Saturday night, Walker, Lauren and I took turns throwing up all night. It ended in the four of us sleeping on the floor downstairs with a bucket for Walker and Lauren. Brady has had icky diarrhea for most of the week and low grade fevers so he has been staying home with dad. Tonight the poor little guy threw-up in his bed, so I'm not sure what to do with him next. All sickness aside, the kids are super excited for Valentines day! They made out their little cards tonight. Walker of course has Spiderman (no self-respecting 4-year-old would have anything different) and Lauren's are the Disney princesses. Speaking of my spunky little red-head, she turns 3 Sunday! She wants Barney and Princess for her B-day theme. I don't think we're going to do a big party, but (everyone feeling better) the kids really want to see a movie. Then, I'd like to celebrate at home, just the 5 of us. We'll see how it all goes.

I need to try to get Brady to rest, he is snuggling on my lap watching me type, so I should get back to him!

Hope nobody else gets this dastardly ilness!

Until next time!
