Wow I stink at blogging!


Hmm...so apparently I have been pretty much sucking it up in the blogging department lately.  I guess sometimes you just can't do it all!  December was absolutely insane around here.  Poor Brandon was sick with a fever for 12 days and missed a week and a half of school right before winter break.  After 2 ER visits and just about every test they could possibly run they figure he had campylobacter, which is a bacteria you can get from animals (like cows or chickens).  Luckily he finally got better but that kind of put a hold on my holiday shopping and preparations so things were really rushed and I had a harder time getting into the Christmas spirit.  Bummer.  Of course now that we're are working on paying all those medical bills we probably won't be in a much better mood for a while. Things were pretty busy and hectic through the holiday season but now they are back to the normal "busy but not so busy it's going to kill me" way of life.
Emmy had her 1st grade program last week and it was adorable!  The theme was "Where the Wild Things Are," which works perfectly for a bunch of crazy 1st graders.  Emmy LOVES to sing and did a great job. 






 

The kids have been having more fun in the snow, which is always a good thing.  Although I must admit I could do without the wet mess they seem to track through the house every time they go in and out.  I'll have to try to think of a good way to deal with that...but I'm thinking with my kids it's an impossible battle.
