Messes

I am thankful for my children. Sure, I have spent a lot of time with them being sick the last two weeks. We even missed Werty's Aunt's wedding because of this nasty virus that acts like a stomach flu and then attacks the sinuses with thick junk, ending in a terrible cough. I have spent two days cleaning up diarrhea with one child, while my youngest child is having difficulty remembering that we write on paper and not walls. I have gone through three magic erasers this week because his new favorite place to draw are the walls on the staircase. But I think I finally have a child who will color in nursery instead of looking at the nursery leaders like they are crazy. Little Miss and I worked on some letter recognition, and she had fun doing it. Bear went back to kindergarten today, after being out sick for a week. I am grateful to have them. They keep life from being predictable and I love them.
