Sickies!

We spent our day in pajamas, relaxing and trying to ward off these germs that have taken residence in the kids.

Adri has had a temp of 103, but is fine if given medication. She doesn't seem to understand that the medicine is temporary and is the only reason she's feeling alright enough to get out of a fetal position off the chair (which is how she spent her morning until the meds kicked in).

Here's some pictures from after her medicine kicked in and she felt fine for a couple of hours.

I'm going to pretend to be sick (really all I have is a snotty nose) because it gets you a lot of attention around here!

Where is Adri?

From Winter 2011

There she is!

From Winter 2011

My silly girl.

Adri and her Spider Man socks...

From Winter 2011

Where is Sammer? Bet you'll never guess...

From Winter 2011

Peek a Boo little man!

From Winter 2011

They love the apps I loaded on my iPad...

From Winter 2011

Wait Adri! That's not how you do it!

From Winter 2011

I'm getting bored. Is it my turn yet?

From Winter 2011

Gotta do what Sissy does...

From Winter 2011

I want to play with the iPad! Adri got to!

From Winter 2011

Sammer decides he's going to play my game of Words With Friends. He'll probably do a lot better than I do! :)

From Winter 2011

Movie time! Yes, he sat that close the whole time!

From Winter 2011

Adri's medicine is wearing off...Getting ready for nap time.

And this is the poor little baby doll right now...

Meijer Gardens

Ahhhh...One of our favorite places to play, Meijer Gardens. Our day started out great there and ended on a not so great note, with poor Adri sick with a fever.

Here's some pictures from the good part of our day. :)

Adri enjoys a ride in "Santa's sleigh" according to her.

From Winter 2011

Look at that shiner!

From Winter 2011

Trying to look but not touch...

From Winter 2011

Mom look! It's a buffalo, or horse, or something...I want to touch it!

From Winter 2011

Apparently the no touching rule doesn't apply to Sam Man...

From Winter 2011

You can tell Adri's beginning to not feel well...

From Winter 2011

The train, the train! Where is it?

From Winter 2011

Gonna find that train...

From Winter 2011

I think I hear it!

From Winter 2011

There it is! Over there!

From Winter 2011

Oh how I love to watch the train...

From Winter 2011

Mom! This is the coolest thing ever!

From Winter 2011

Wow! Oh Wow! It goes from room to room!

From Winter 2011

A rare huggy moment that I didn't instigate...

From Winter 2011

Let's come back again! I love it here!

From Winter 2011

I don't want to leave the trains!

Spaghetti Head

We went to the Children's Museum today. I'd love to have pictures to document the trip, but unfortunately I forgot to put the photo card back into my camera. So, I had my camera to lug around but no card in it to take pictures. Go me.

Instead, here's some photos of reason # 1 that I don't feed the kids spaghetti at home...

Spaghetti turns them into wild animals...Seriously.

Yes, she is trying to guzzle the Parmesan cheese...

From Winter 2011

Care for a little spaghetti with your cheese, Adri?

From Winter 2011

This was the beginning of the meal, and he already looked like this! (Helps one to imagine the surroundings)

From Winter 2011

Just how much spaghetti can one fit in their mouth at one time? Ask Sam, after he finishes chewing.

From Winter 2011

Words can't do the picture justice...(Yes, his pants are falling down around his thighs)

From Winter 2011

Adri tries to figure out how to cause some trouble, cause there wasn't enough already.

Little Funny Man...

From Winter 2011

Let's see who can scream louder Sam Man!

From Winter 2011

Hmmmm. A screaming match. Now that's tempting.

From Winter 2011

Then again, so is the ice cream!

From Winter 2011

This is Adri's trouble look. If you know her, you've seen it and you know, trouble is yet to come!

From Winter 2011

I'm the innocent one. :) (As long as I don't follow Adri's lead)

From Winter 2011

Thank you!

Thank you to everyone that shared Christmas with us. We enjoyed your company and the kids are loving your presents...Thank you for decorating our living room in the likeness of a Toys R Us store. The kids graciously thank you! :)

Thank you for sharing Christmas with us! We love you!

Peek a boo Sammer!

From Winter 2011

Oh yeah! A bulldozer utensil set! Sweet!

From Winter 2011

Reason #500 we don't light candles around Sammy...

From Winter 2011

But Mom! I wouldn't get hurt!

From Winter 2011

And reason # 1...

From Winter 2011

Santa came to visit while we were at Boo Boo's!!!

From Winter 2011

Sam would have none of it!

From Winter 2011

Oooh! Look! Another stocking! I love stockings!

From Winter 2011

Adri has a different process of checking her stocking...

From Winter 2011

This one's so great I don't even have a caption...
