There is something about singing and dancing that makes you happy.....you can't stay crabby or mad.

Hopefully you can enjoy one of these.

We are finally getting there........Ahoy Matey.

Nolan got better after about a day but poor Connor, he's been home all week. I had conferences Monday and Tuesday, so Matt had to stay home with the boys, with help from my dad for an afternoon. Wednesday my mom stayed home in the morning and then I took off of work. Fortunately, though it's not how we wanted to spend it, today and tomorrow are MEA break so I was able to be home. It was a little scary. Connor got better on Monday night, then he got worse all of a sudden again. I took him back into Urgent Care on Wednesday night and whether it worked or not he was put on an antibiotic. He is getting there............

I still have a cough and a constant headache, and I guess there is now concern because I have been exposed to it all. However, my doctor is out of town and I'm having a hard time hearing back from her cohort. I'm sure I will in time. I know they are pretty busy with moving into the new building and all.


*Update*

By the looks of these pictures. I think the boys are feeling better don't you?!

I have washed everything possible in HOT HOT HOT water and lysoled and chlorox wiped everything! I don't think it's possible to ever get rid of all germs, but we are pretty darn close, for about an hour! ;)

I had my glucose test today. The lovely drink and wait for an hour to get tested. Hopefully everything looked good.

I was looking forward to doing some of our traditional fall things this break like the apple orchard and we still haven't made it to Tweite's pumpkin patch yet. We go there every year. This weather has been crazy and depressing. I think we'll just stay inside a couple of more days though to get completely healthy. Maybe Sunday.

As I was coughing, Nolan had to so politely remind me, "Cover, mommy!", as he puts his elbow to his mouth. We have been all over them about covering with their arm. I must not have done it this one time and Nolan let me know about it. ;)

Connor was so bummed about missing so many days of school and was worried about what he all missed. (oh boy, it's only Kindergarten!) I emailed his teacher to see if I could come pick anything up, and she ended up dropping it off at our house. It was so wonderful of her, she is AMAZING. Connor was sleeping when she came over, and was sad that he missed her.
She had some great things to say about Connor, and it got me all teary eyed. My hormones are so crazy right now. Made this mommy proud.


Since we've been inside lately we've been playing tons of games and listening to music and dancing. We tivo the Top 20 Countdown, so we can replay and jam out. Here are some of our favorites right now...

I had to laugh at LeeAnne's post. The boys LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this song. When Nolan asks for it he puts his hands up in the air. That's how I know he wants to see it again. They ask for it over and over. The funny thing is that Matt is included in the "boys LOVE this". It's pretty funny seeing a grown man dancing to this song. Especially by Miley, the previous Hannah Montana.
Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus

This is my new favorite song.
Hey Soul Sister by Train

The boys love to jam to this one also.
Down Jay Sean

Love that Kenny and Dave sing this together.
I'm Alive Kenny Chesney with Dave Matthews Band

Good song.
Smile Uncle Kracker

Fun. No worries song.
Toes Zac Brown Band

Only You can Love Me This Way Keith Urban

I will never get sick of Dave. In fact, Matt and my song is by him. Lots of history there. ;) I like this new one.
You and Me Dave Matthews Band

Good message.
Someday by Rob Thomas

We love listenting to, dancing to, and singing with this song. Nolan says, I luz you, I luz you, I luz you!

Say Hey I Love You by Michael Franti & Spearhead


This one is growing on me. I can't decide if I like her voice or not, I think I do. It's different. I didn't know she could sing.
Relator by Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johansson


Diane shared this song with me. Like it ALOT.
Mmm by Laura Izibor
