Hoping it doesn't spread!
Well, Jessica woke up with a sore throat yesterday. She is still not feeling well today, so I brought her into the doctors, and you guessed it.....STREP THROAT!.....Poor girl....she gets hit hard with strep once or twice a year.....hopefully it wont spread through the family....she seems to be the only one who really gets it in our family, but time will tell!
When Mom is gone....
I had a meeting to go to at the school on Tuesday night. Matthew was "babysitting" (as the kids call it....why is it that when Dad is home, he is babysitting....when I am home, Mom is just home?....anyway....not the point!).....Upon my arrival home, Matthew had these pictures to show me. He said when Kayleigh was done eating dinner, she announced she was done, then went into the family room.....a few minutes later, Jessica said "Dad, I think Kayleigh is sleeping!" Sure enough! She had gone in, laid on the floor and fell asleep.....That was around 6:30.....she stayed asleep durring chore time, scripture time and reading time, then Matthew carried her up to bed! I guess her cold had caught up to her, and she need a good night of sleep!!!! (oh, and Jared just had to get in a picture!)

Couples Game Night
This past Saturday we hosted a couples game night! (Matt and Camie, we are catching your hosting bug!) We had a lot of fun....we played "The Not So Newly Wed" game.....we divided into guys and ladies, each group came up with 5 questions, answered them, then met back together to have spouses answer....our friends, the Hess' totally took that game! It was a game full of laughs!!! We also pulled out Scattergories....another fun game!!! Thanks to Kristen, I have some pics.....I had to copy them from her blog!

Home Sick
Jessica and Jared stayed home sick today....Jessica had a terrible head ache all day and night yesterday....woke up with it still today, so decided it was best for her to stay home and sleep it off. By about 1:00 it had finally gone away. I hate headaches, and I felt so bad for her.
Jared....well, he was sick???!!! He is always sick the night before and morning of gym day at school.....either his stomach hurts, or his throat hurts, etc. He hates running in gym class....so much that he will try to tell me he is sick so he can stay home....don't worry, I don't give in....I tell him the rules of school are if they are not throwing up or if they don't have a fever, they need to be at school.....he tries and tries....but I never give in....well, last night he was trying....but this time, I could tell that a cold was coming on....he had the sniffles, watery eyes, etc.....and, today was gym, so I was expecting him to play it up.....well, I had a soft heart.....I probably really could have sent him to school and he would have been fine....but, really, Jessica wasn't going, and perhaps I have gotten lazy this year, with Jessica being able to walk with him to and from school, I was sort of happy to keep him home today....so, I told him he could stay home, but he would have to stay in his room most of the day so I wouldn't get sick, too....and, absolutely no Wii time if he missed school! Well, all day long he asked me if it would be the time that school would be out.....all day long, I kept telling him no....until 3:10 arrived, and finally I was able to say "yes"--to which he said, "I feel better now. Can I play the Wii!!!!!" Can't blame him for trying, I suppose....but no Wii at all the whole day you decide you are too sick to go to school!!! I had a good laugh about that!!!!

Nutrition websites to share
Last night, the elementary school had a Nutrition night....the kids had fun "nutrition" activities, while the adults went and learned info about the importance of a nutritous diet.....a lot of it was stuff I was already aware of....but I also enjoyed hearing some new information. One thing that was shared with us were a couple of websites, that I thought I would pass along to my blogging friends! nutritiondata.com is the first one.....this is way cool.....you can plug in the ingredients of any given recipe, tell it how many you serves, and it will give you the "nutrition label" per serving for that recipe!!! The next one is 5dollardinners.com.....this is no hidden secret....it is what it is.....meals for $5.oo! Happy eating and feeding!!!
Lastly, I am sooooo excited....they had door prizes.....I knew they were having this, as I was helping the teacher prepare for last night....anyway, they had awesome door prizes, but the one that I was hoping to get was Jessica Seinfelds Deceptively Delicious book.....I have been wanting this for a long time, as I struggle with getting Jared to eat fruits and veges.....I feel like he would benefit from me "sneaking" them into his food! Well, I was excited when my name was still drawn and that was still one of the prizes available!!!! Hopefully the recipes will be yummy, and I can get some healthy stuff into my sons diet!!!

Ankle Biter
ANKLE BITER.....that about sums up my run this morning!!!! (yes, I said my run....my family may die of shock, but I am running these days....not much, but starting a little at a time!) 3 houses down the first street, I am attacked by an ankle biter dog!!! I feel him right behind me....didn't even see him....I was sure he was going to bite me! Luckily, he stopped once I passed his yard....but, gave me a scare!!!
Well, I pass that house again on my way back, but after 10 minutes of running, I don't clue in that it might happen again....however, I am on the other side of the street, so even if I had thought of it, I would have hoped that b/c he hadn't chased me beyond his yard, that he wouldn't have come across the street.....well, once again, caught off guard, ankle biter dog is right on my feet! As I am trying to shew him away, I run into the fence!!!! HA HA HA!!! I hope no one was watching that!!!!
