The funny thing about being sick...

Yes, today, Thursday, I was sick again.

You know, when you're sick and you can't go anywhere, and you don't really have energy to do anything, you learn a lot about your children. Mostly because if you don't have energy to care for them, you just put some energy on your energy credit card and just go into a little bit of energy debt that you will pay for later. One thing I noticed about Ammon is the way he eats his jelly sandwich. 

He opens it up with a guilty look on his face...

Eats all the jelly out of it...


Finishes it off...
Gets another piece of bread, and cries until you put jelly on it! Repeat 3 times! (Must be growing)

When he's done with a meal, he says, "Aaaah Da!" exactly one time, then spends the rest of his time trying to wiggle out of his booster chair to which he is strapped.

Here he is halfway out. He has twisted all the way around! And I strapped him in TIGHT!


Also when you're sick, you put your 3 year old in animal print clothing, realize her hair looks like an animal, and call it a perfect match!

Kaylee started school this week on Monday. It wasn't until today I remembered to take a few pictures, you know, me being sick and all. Between home and this point in the picture, there were probably 5 or 6 complete 'melt-downs' by poor little Brenna, who thought that every time I left the car (to lock the door, put Ammon in the car, take him out of the car, get the stroller out, etc.) that I was leaving her forever.

See here we are, all put back together. :)

And here's Kaylee at her awesome new school!


We of course ran into the Westovers...the only 'Mormons' we know of in our neighborhood! (They had us for dinner our first Sunday here)

And Kaylee wanted a picture by the flagpole!

This is a boy named Jack that is in Kaylee's class that asked her to play hide and seek.

Can you guess where Kaylee is hiding? I'll give you a hint...it's the big one on the right. :)
And here are some shots of the lovely view we had on the way back!

I loved all the pictures Sarah. And the whole story was awesome. You have 3 pretty cute kids. I love the old houses there...

Ammon and the jelly sandwiches cracked me up as well as the 'Ahh dahh'. I guess that little nipper knows his own mind. I think that's a good thing eventually.
