Happy Hump Day!

Well, today Cassidy stayed home again from school ...I say "again" because I got called up to the school Tuesday morning to come pick her up - she had been sleeping in class and was running a low grade fever...the school nurse reminded me she had to be fever-free for 24hrs before returning to school -- since she's in Pre-K and she only goes 3 hours in the  morning, it dismissed her for today as well.  It's probably for the best; she has been running a fever on & off, her lymph nodes are pretty swollen and she's been having a tough time sleeping lately.  If I try to put her to sleep in her own bed, she tosses & turns and comes out complaining that she "can't sleep" although she looks as though she could sleep standing up -- so as soon as I let her go to sleep on Daddy's side of the bed - she's out like a light! I move her back to her bed before I go to sleep, but she usually comes back in sometime in the wee hours of the morning.  But all-in-all she seems to be on the mend -- fingers crossed that she's fit for school tomorrow :)

At any rate, today was kind of a pajama day...we watched some movies, did some housework and played.  I finally ventured out to Costco at dinner time to pick up a few things and grab some dinner.  Suprisingly, Jake wanted to help me eat my caesar salad over sharing a slice of pizza with Will!  I cannot tell you how uplifting it was to receive 4 compliments about my children...the first two were the usual "oh wow, they ARE cute!" Usually older couples are drawn to my children...not sure why, but I get lots of comments about how cute all my kids are (very flattering of course, 'cause I totally agree!!)  But tonight, I got two compliments at how "well behaved" my children were! And they WERE behaving :)  This is ONE PROUD MOMMA!!

Will cannot WAIT to be tall enough - he whines until I brush his teeth too!

We are raising some pretty stellar kids! I feel truly blessed to have children that are healthy and happy (mostly) and care about one another and love to be loved on and love on each other!  I love this little family of mine!
