Pumpkin Patch!

We didn't know if we were going to make it this year. The weather this week was questionable - wet, wet, wet. But then this morning came and it was a beautiful, sunny, fall day. Off to the pumpkin patch. This year we went to one up in Salmon Creek trying to avoid the crowds. There wasn't much to it but it was fun. The kids all won a stuffed animal. (I also had one of my most embarrassing moments there but I won't expose myself here.) Had lunch at Applebees before heading home. All in all it was a very fun day!

Logan's B-day

In the midst of all our sickness I forgot to post Logan's birthday pictures. No parties this year. Just lots of presents. Poor kid - this is the second year in a row that he has gotten sick on his birthday.

AGGGHHH Sick Kids!

So the kids have been sick. I just dread the moment when one of them comes down with something because I immediately begin to visual the next weeks as one after another cycles through it. H had it first. It started with a headache, fever and then he threw up once. Then it turned into a cough. He is now back to school. Then L came down with it. That poor kid catches everything. He definitely has the weakest immune system in our family. I think it's because I used so much hand sanitizer when he was a baby. Now HM has a fever and just isn't acting like herself. It has been almost two weeks now and we still aren't completly healthy. So far M is the only one who hasn't come down with anything. Now my brother is sick. He thinks he may have caught it from us. His doctor thinks he has H1N1. I didn't take my kids in but the nurse I talked to didn't think that was it. I love the fall but I hate all the sickness that comes with a change in weather.
