Must sleep

I promise I'll update tomorrow.
Goodnight all!

Warning!

This post may make no sense. I'm exhausted but unable to sleep. I had a long work day and I need the rest but Mattie has been restless and calling out for me periodically. When I don't hear her for a long stretch, of course I feel compelled to check on her. The batteries are bad in the baby monitor so I'm currently parked on the couch so I can hear if I'm needed. I'm not feeling great and my mind is running in overdrive because I have so much to do tomorrow. Calgon, take me away! Ha ha
All in a day's work, right? :-)
Well, I'm going to go do my bed checks and them try to get some sleep. Goodnight.

Love to all

Guess what

Mattie Got over her stomach bug but now she and I have Gabriel's funk. Bobby, oddly, remains healthy and apparently immune.
Gabriel and I ventured out to do the grocery shopping. The trip was essentially uneventful with the exception of the part where we entered the store and made a break for it. By the time I caught him he had almost made it to toys and was laughing merrily at the whole situation. As a parent all I kept thinking about was what if he had done that in the parking lot. I get nauseous just thinking about it. Luckily no one was harmed and he was a good boy the rest of the time.
It will be interesting to see how they do at school tomorrow after having sick time with Mom. Mattie usually does better than Gabriel but we'll see.
I've taken my cold medicine now I'm off to try to get some rest.
Goodnight all

Pictures


A little time outside

Gabriel tagged along with Daddy during most of our time outside today so I was only able to get a few shots of him. Since Mattie still likes to hang out with Mommy, I have quite a few pics of her. Here are some highlights of our time outside. The remaining pictures, if these aren't enough for you, are on our photo share site.

ok...having some tech difficulties uploading other pics. Will keep trying. Full upload to Shutterfly is in progress.

On the mend

We are still dealing will multiple ailments but we didn't get any worse today. I'll take it. :-)
We did have another "Gabriel says" item for today. I tried to get some audio but it didn't come out well. He kept asking me if he could go out on the patio early this morning. I told him we'd have to wait a little while because it was a little too cold outside. He looked at me and said "But Mommy, I want to go see cold!". Um, ok. The kid just loves it outside and you have to appreciate the creativity.
I have to get the G Man to sleep but I do have a couple of pictures to post. As always, if you want to be bored by the insane number of pictures I take, feel free to visit our latest phot site. You can get there from the Links section to the right.

Seriously?

Just woke up Gabriel falling out of bed. I get to him to pick him up and ask if he's OK and he says, "yeah Mommy, I'm ok" I don't even think he was truly awake. Wow, my kids just aren't catching any breaks...and I'm just not getting enough sleep. Ha ha!!
