SLEEP!!!

Do you ever have one of those nights when you just can't sleep. To clarify, I mean not on;y does it seem totally impossible to FALL asleeep, but that once you are asleep, you cannot stay that way? Last night was one of those nights. Not only was I a miserable insomniac, so were Cade, Claire, Jax, Finn, and Eric...Griffin was the only one who slept all night long! So, we are very 'zombie-like' this morning, and I am hoping for an early evening. I know the kids are going to be great today so that I can rest...right? :)

Always Interesting...

There are more pics, but I don't like to post naked pictures on here!

So, Eric and Lisa's cousin came through town last night, so of course there was a BBQ to be had! David grilled chicken, burgers, corn, and to the eternal thankfulness of my daughter, he grilled pineapple! We were all outside eating and visiting when I noticed that Griffin's arms and legs didn't look right. Upon further inspection I found that his little body was COVERED in red welts. We rushed him home, where Eric gave him a bath, and then we gave him a dose of Benadryl. Today he is looking better, but hey, what's a Monday without a little drama, right? :)

What we've been doing!

Griffin kiss!

It has been busy, busy, busy around here! I painted three of the upstairs bedrooms and we moved the kids around a bit. Then my mom came to visit. She taught Cade and Claire how to swim...IN ONE DAY! Those little stinkers wouldn't listen to me, but for Grandma, they we're paying attention and doing what she asked...yeah, I feel the love! :) On her last night here, the kids paino teacher scheduled a recital with a few other families, in order to show them off. The kids did great!
Right after my mom left, the weather went CRAZY! We have been under a heat advisory for days, and it is super-sticky! The kids are driving me bananas due to the fact that we are cooped-up in the house, but hopefully it is starting to cool off a bit...hopefully!
