Sick and Snow Days

Thanksgiving is behind us and the germs surround us. The first snowfall came early this year and coincided with the illness that has invaded our home. Papa wasn't feeling so hot when we were in Terre Haute this weekend and although he barricaded himself in his room, the bugs couldn't keep their grimey hands off my girls. I had all 3 home yesterday when 2 of them should have vacated the premesis and gone to school! Life has been a bit boring. Too much email and Facebook, too much TV and too much Club penguin. (I have not been playing Club Penguin, by the way:) Above, I was working on my year end Creative Memories stuff and Ayla decided she needed to follow sort. Too cute. Her mind is very quick and sometimes I can't keep up with her.

BTW... I did do something.. I had to clean the carpets due to Ayla's midnight expulsion of fries and curdled milk. (I know I didn't have to share that, but someone needs to feel my pain!)

Ayla couldn't even say snow last year... it came out "nose." This year, she has it down pat! She couldn't get out there fast enough. Unfortunately, the big girls were sick and I wouldn't let them out with her... plus it was a slushy mess. We did make a tiny, tiny snowman and she really enjoyed that. The next snow will be a blast for her. I just need to teach her the importance of boots prior to that.

Yesterday, David was watching the Grinch with Ayla and Emma and a McDonald's commercial came on advertising their $1 soft drinks. He asked her "What is that?" Her response was "Diet Coke... I LOVE Diet Coke!" Casey and I have created a monster.... more Casey's fault though because I don't share mine as well as she does!
