September....REALLY?

I can't believe it's already September. That means in less than one month I'll be 29, in 3 months Anna will be 5, Brayden will be 18 months, and in 4 months Tyson will be 7. That means Mike and I have been married for 7 1/2 years already. Insane.

So, no pictures yet. I replaced the one battery, and it still didn't work. Now I have to replace two other batteries and it might work. Stupid camera. In the meantime you just get to read the play-by-play of our lives.

The latest is that we are almost done with birthday/holiday shopping. WOOT! (as the kids say these days). We decided that for birthdays this year we'll re-do bedrooms instead of buying toys. Bray will be in a bed soon and the boys will need bunk beds. Tyson has out grown the "Cars" theme he has in his room and is all about "Star Wars". So, we found bunk beds for a steal and since Anna's bed is ready to fall apart, we figured out a new bed for her as well. I found a bed set for Bray that matches Ty's and I'm planning on painting the boys room blue and black. One wall will be black with starts all over it and Star Wars Decals while the other walls will be blue with Star Wars posters framed and the boys names in big letters. Anna's room will pretty much stay the same but with a new bed and bedding.

We painted our bathroom downstairs and it looks SO much better. I've hated that bathroom since we moved in and the color just adds so much. I love it now.

We are all getting sick. YIPEE! First big illness of the season. I have strep and Mike is losing his voice. Ty was coughing this morning and Anna has napped for 2 hours this afternoon (that never happens). So, I'm sure we are in for it for at least a couple weeks. Hey, as long as we stay away from pneumonia and RSV this year I'll be happy. Oh, and I'd rather avoid Swine Flu too. Ok, really I'd rather avoid it all, but chances of that are slim considering I teach, Mike teaches, and the kids bring home their own versions of all illnesses.

So, there's the life right now. Always entertaining and fun.

I'm sorry you're sick. But on the plus side, if you do get the Dreaded Swine Flu, it's really no big deal. It's just the flu. And once you've had it you're immune. It's fun that you're redecorating the kids' rooms. I wish I could come see your house but sometimes I feel like I'm freaking stuck here like glue! Grrr! And I've never even seen Brayden in real life! So get well. Take all your pills like a good girl and get better!
