Week 4 and 5-365

I got behind on my picture a day. Two stomach bugs wasn't enough. A respiratory infection hit all the kids two weeks ago I think. I am honest I don't know. My brain is mush most days from lack of sleep. Either way they each have slowly gotten it. The babies are on the tale end. Every day I wake up with a sore throat and begin inhaling garlic. It helps until I wake up again. I am hoping I don't get it!! The good news is the babies are once again sleeping better. 

Day 22-24 No picture

Day 25- Lilliana and Daphne are the only ones not sick. I began teaching Lilliana how to sew. We cut out her first dress and she helped me sew it.

Day 26-Eli is feeling somewhat better. In order to not get behind continue with school. I had been preparing dinner for that night and came in to Eli helping Lilliana with her math. It was really cute. Yes, that really is still Christmas Decorations up. I made the advent calendar years ago. I am waiting until we build some shelves in our storage closet for it. All this of course has to happen when Anthony and I get some more sleep. 

Day 27-Annalise is cranky because she just doesn't feel good.




Day 28- Details-Always a baby standing at my lap when I sit down.




Day 29-Still not sick, but teething




Day 30-She has joined the sick kid ranks.

Day 31-Finally some snow. I think I take a similar picture every year of him shoveling. This year was not to be missed. When he is 20 at my house helping I may still snap this photo. He loves to be in the snow and to shovel.

Day 32-11 months of these monkeys!

Day 33-I come home from grocery shopping to Daphne sick and Ari trying so hard to make her feel better. He is still sick himself. 

Day 34-Daddy is home and this girl just wants held

Day 35-I am so tired this day I just sleep and catch up on usual house cleaning. 2 of the 5 are still sick and  miserable. 

The good news is everybody is on the mend. We actually completed our first entire full week of school in a month. Everyday somebody has missed something it seems.
