It's us!

Not much going on here... because we have been stuck in our house for about two weeks now.  Brooklyn had the influenz flu...Then Cristine had the Flu...Then Tanner got the Flu... Then Mommy got the Flu...Then Mommy got pneumonia...now Daddy has a sore throat and fever. 

I would like to vote for a new law that states that the mom of the household can not be sick at the same time as any of her family members.  If by chance she does get sick, then her spouse will be excused from work until she is better, if he gets sick too... then help shall be provided by way of a grandparent ... and getting them here should be free.  Who's with me?

All in All.. we are doing pretty good :) The kids are back at school, and my nasty tasting strong antibiotic is working and I can breath without pain anymore!! So I guess that means I should finally clean my house today!! I think some strange creatures may have come and taken over the kids bathroom during my cleaning absence...or my kids really can be that dirty.
Here are some cute Brooklyn tid bits:
 Last night we were talking about  the burning bush that Lehi saw.  Tyson asked the kids..."Why do you think the Lord doesn't talk to people that way now....and uses the still small voice instead?."  Brooklyn said "because it isn't sunday!"
Then we talked about Jesus' 12 apostles and Ty was naming them and Brooklyn yelled out "AND Abraham Lincoln!"
This Morning Brooklyn got up soo excited to go to school because there was going to be a surprise... I asked her about it and she told me how a little mouse has been getting into the kids'snacks at school. Mr Jose (the janitor) put out some really sticky cheese crackers on some really sticky paper that the mouse can't get away from and then he will let the mouse "go" outside. and she is so so so excited to see it!
I think to myself "Yuck!" but I tell Brooklyn "Wow how interesting!"  then think to myself... Can a mouse carry the Flu?.. if so Mr. Jose better not be so kind to the little vermin.
