Bethany and Lily are sick. They are both very congested with sneezing and drainage. Bethany has a fever, and I think Lily's jaundice is getting worse. They have a Dr. Apt this afternoon. So far none of the rest of us are sick and I'm really hoping it stays that way.

Garrett and Bethany have been getting on each others(and consequently my) nerves more in the past few days. I hope it is just because they aren't feeling their best and that they will do better in a few days.

I haven't taken any pics in several days. I think my camera is in the car, it's definitely not in the house. I need to get it out and take some.

Garrett is leaving in less than 2 weeks and won't be back until near the end of January. We are hoping to celebrate Christmas early so he will be here for it. I bought some cheap stocking yesterday and started decorating them last night after the kids went to bed. So far they are looking really good. I plan to work on them some more tonight. I also got some stocking stuffers.

We put the tree up on Sunday. It is decorated exclusively with homemade ornaments that we made last year. Hopefully we will find time to make a few more this year too.

I have to go make some lunch for the kids and get them ready to leave for the Dr's office. Or maybe I will just get them ready to leave and stop at Sonic on the way,...... I really need to go grocery shopping. Not taking all 3 kids though. I was going to go to Wal Mart with them yesterday but we ended up going to Target with a friend instead so we didn't get any food. There is no room in the cart after I put a carseat and a 2 yr old in. Bethany isn't quite big enough to follow me around the store yet. Thank goodness Garrett is.
