January

We have been hit with the flu bug this past week,not the throw-up kind but the respirtory/high fever kind. This was our first and hopefully last with this nasty nasty very contagious bug. Jessie came down with it on Monday, I closed daycare on tues and wed hoping to get Jessie all better, then Dereck came down with it on Wednesday, and my SIL and nephew came down with it on Wed. and I am pretty sure a couple daycare kiddos came down with it too, because before I knew what Jess had some kids were already exposed. Anyways, I have been a lysol and bleach sprayin ninja this week...and I feel like I lost the battle. Derecks sister was 9 months pregnant and decided to, while she had the flu to have her baby a few weeks early, so she had a beautiful little girl and can't even be with her for at least 24 hours:-(But hopefully after this weekend and lots more disinfecting everyone and everything will be as good as new! Here are some pictures of whats been going on in our life.

I thought Jessie looked particulary cute in this picture!

Playing with colored rice....they measured and scooped, and dumped for well over 30 minutes. I highly reccomend this activity for little ones.

A snowy day calls for happy pancakes

Just because the girls were sick didn't mean they didn't have fun with the snow.

Most of the time Jazzy was too busy eating and licking the snow to play with it, but at least it was white snow:-)
