Sick of being sick

I'm so sick of being sick!! We have all had a cold now for the last month. It seems to go away and then comes right back. I was starting to feel decent again and then I started to get another sore throat last night and now I'm all stuffed up. Seriously... how long can this last??? I guess I shouldn't complain though because it's ONLY a cold. The kids seem to be much better this week too. They still cough every once in awhile but that's about it.

It's also been a week of crappy sleep. Olivia has started to show up in our room between 2-3 am every night. I don't have the energy to fight with her so I've let her get into bed with us which is probably not a good idea. I told her tonight that she needed to stay in her room all night and she said she would so we'll see how that goes. Last night she showed up with just her underwear on. She took off her pj's for some reason.

On Saturday their daycare had a consignment sale and I stopped by with Olivia after her dance class. I was able to get Beau a high chair for $45 - it's a Chico and it's in excellent condition. I also got them a Step 2 car for $25 that looks brand new. Olivia scored a bag of "bling" for $1. It had a bunch of necklaces, bracelets and sunglasses in it. It's the best $1 I've ever spent!! She even shared with Beau - LOVE LOVE LOVE the picture of him in the pink glasses. It makes me laugh every time I look at it.

Beau also started on solid food this week for the first time. He did great. I had daycare start him on cereal yesterday and he loved it and at all of it. I tried peas and applesauce last night. He liked the peas but the applesauce not so much.

He's also getting good with the hand eye control. Can't you tell from where he dropped his binky?

They are having a Halloween party on Friday. Beau is going to be a monster and Olivia is going to be The Little Mermaid. We're also going camping this weekend and they are having trick or treat there too. I'll put up some pictures this weekend.

So sorry you are all sick. Thanks for the pictures. (That was quick!) What cuties, Olivia is looking more and more like you. And, Beau is definitely growing. Can't wait to see the Halloween picturesI miss you all. Mom

Sorry to hear you have all been sick. Same here... Julian has been coughing quite a bit that he went throwing up in bed at night. I'm coming down on a cold too, so I'm trying to stuff as much vitamins in to feel better.

Last night was the first night that Julian could sleep through since he got the cold. Hope it stays that way...

This weekend, we are going to see the Michael Jackson movie :-)
