Busy Busy

I got an email from a friend of mine who said he had checked my blog and I haven't updated it. Someone cares that I update it! That is so much fun. So here's all the stuff that has been keeping me too busy to write. 1. Work, I'm grateful for a paycheck and the flexibility I have, but wish money grew on trees so I could spend all my time with the kids, Joe and friends. 2. Sick kids. Jacob and Aaron are both getting over bronchitis (wow I got close enough that spell check was able to pick that one up!) Caf had a cold and now little Cora has a stuffy runny nose. She still is smiling though! In addition, to these little inconveniences............we woke up Sunday morning to a winter wonderland. It was beautiful. By Monday our driveway was slick and I couldn't get out. Joe of course got me up to the road and I was fine from there. I've gotten so spoiled as a wife. I would have never thought of asking someone to dig me out and put down salt for me, now I can't imagine doing it myself!

Speaking of Joe. He thinks Cora wants solid food. I don't know what makes him think that! I'm holding out until she is 6 months old, but I might not be able to stop her and dad from getting a midnight snack.

Aaron has started wrestling again. And yes we are taking a collection for his braces! Why did he get Joe's love (or lack there of) for school and my teeth, poor guy. We like wrestling because it gets out a lot of aggression and tires him out!

Catherine has been working on a super secret sewing project for Christmas. My friend Donna is helping us. Cora absolutely loved her husband Willie. I think it was the cheeks that they have in common. She just smiled and laughed at him as he made funny faces.

Joe built the kids a fort in the basement, using 3 60 inch plasma boxes. The middle has a courtyard where they hide the ammo to attack any innocent passerby that might look like they need to be beamed by a stuffed animal, ball, or random hard plastic toy.

Well lots more to post, but Aaron needs to be picked up from wrestling and then Joe has to go to the bank, I'll try to get him to take some pics so we can see what he is up to. Then it is the full time job (mom) until the kids go down and then part time job for me. Thanks for the kick in the pants Ryan! I will post more soon.
