Sick but Cruising!

Hey there! Its been a long time! I would participate in a "Not Me Monday" post, however being that I haven't blogged in 2 weeks I thought I might better be able to catch you up on the happenings here with a "regular" post. Big B has been battling illness (just the usual viral winter stuff) for a whole week and Little G has been cruising along and has managed not to catch what his brother has had. We stayed in the house all last week, but had quite a bit of homework and a school project to keep us busy (not to mention 'round the clock medication for fever and cough!) and a very busy little 7 month old. B is back to feeling well and we look forward to the week ahead.

Friday evening the weather was gorgeous and B felt great, so we took the kiddos to the pumpkin patch. B found a very tall pumpkin just like he wanted and we got Baby G one just for him, too. The little guy seemed to somewhat enjoy himself amidst all the pumpkins and hay (which went directly in his mouth), however we could barely get him to give us a single smile for pictures. And what's important on these family outings anyway..... the fun or the pictures?!

Big brother was supposed to have a soccer game yesterday, but after being so sick all week I couldn't see allowing him to run his little heart out. There is no "half- rear-ending it" for that kid- its all or nothing, so I unforunately had to choose nothing and he missed the game. He was a little upset, but dealt with it pretty well. He'll be back at practice tomorrow and can't wait to hit the field!

Hope to update sooner rather than later,
