Haven't posted much this week because I'm trying very hard to finish a copy edit before I leave on Sunday! However, I think I need some sleep so I can do a good job tomorrow. HOpefully I'll get a real update up soon. :)

Brenna had the day off school today due to bitterly cold temperatures (as in, the temperature was -30 or so, with windchill. Brrrrrrr ( Read more... )

Brenna's fever was gone today, and the La Crosse Winter Rec Fest Mighty Mites Hockey Jamboree was today. She still wasn't feeling great (her throat was REALLY sore), but she really wanted to go. I told her she could try, but that if she got too tired or too much in pain, that we could leave early. So, instead of having 20 minutes of practice, and ( Read more... )

Friday was both a hard day, and one of the best days I've had in a while. None of us slept much Thursday night, because Jonas had a lot of phlegm in his throat, and ended up needing to sit in the bathroom while we created steam with the shower (Chris took that one), and Brenna woke up a bunch of times because she was very sick and had a high fever ( Read more... )

Today, I got to sleep in until 7:30 or so, which was lovely. Then I got the day started in time to get Brenna ready for hockey at 10. She did great (they had a shorter scrimmage session because one of the older teams had a jamboree today right after). Then, home to do chores and feed the kids lunch. In the afternoon, the kids went outside to ( Read more... )

This morning, Jonas was getting dressed and came in and asked, "Is this the right way to put on my underwear?" He had put them on his head, with his face peeking out from one leg hole. When I looked at him, he grinned and ran around shouting, "I'm Captain Underwear Head! Fear my wrath ( Read more... )
