what we do...

....when we're sick.  again. (didn't I just write this post?!)
We read lots of books.  
Which is something we have a lot of.  I love books and it makes me so happy that my kids do, too.



We wear slippers all day.


We eat chocolate peanut butter pancakes.
Don't judge.



We wear our superman costume.
And say things like, "Mommy, when Jesus comes back He's gonna kick Satan outta this world"
My favorite quote ever, Thad.

We make forts.
With pillows and blankets from every corner of the house and all the linens from mommy's shelves.  And somehow we get injured in all those pillows and blankets.  Several times.


And then when mommy (who is feeling under the weather herself) starts yelling and having a conniption and has run out of patience--every last drop--we tell her she needs to go spend time with Jesus.

Thank you, my dear little Thad.
Next time, I will do that the very first thing!

    That is special. :)

    And have you seen the recent post where I had put chocolate syrup in a bowl of cheerios? No judging here!

    We have been enduring the Gerken Plague 2011 here...alternately titled...Mucaspalooza 2011. Cannot wait for some spring to come and thaw these wintry blues and open these windows...and air out this house! =)

    Sickness sucks! And when you have a big family then it just likes to hang around. I think that lounge tents are just the thing for sick days. Perfect list.
