Still got it...

(I need to first say that all 5 of us came down with the same thing Friday night.) Sorry to say that I don't have much else to post about right now. We have all had fluctuating fevers today and hubby's cough is just getting worse. He has had bronchitis probably 3 or 4 times in a year, so when he gets sick it usually causes it to come back and with a great deal of pain. I praise the Lord that the Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen seem to be working for the children to get their temps down (at least for a while). I have been having cold sweats at night and feel pretty bad, but trying my best to suppress the symptoms so I can take care of the other 4. Hubby is getting ready to head to the doctor once again. I pray that he can do something to help my Beloved. Hubby did some reading online today and we think we may have the flu. I never would have guessed it because I always thought of the flue including vomiting and diarrhea. But I guess those typically aren't symptoms for all types of Flu. But we have the headaches, congestion, cough, fevers of 102, achy bodies, and Big T complains about his ear hurting sometimes. So...I am off to make sure the children are getting enough to eat, then it is off to Mama and Papa's bed to watch a tape as Beloved goes to the doctor. Blessings to all!

Show and Tell Friday (10/5)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn'

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Today I am taking part in Kelli's Show and Tell and her Giving Thanks week. Last Saturday I had the chance to do something I had never done before. I put together a gingerbread house with my MIL and my children. My MIL made the gingerbread and then she had me help her assemble it and then decorate it. We didn't finish it all, but we hope to finish it this afternoon since she has the day off. I am pretty proud of myself. Next year maybe the children and I can do this as a school project/activity. So...here is the gingerbread house in all it's glory. I hope to post a finished

Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Yesterday I was in our side yard raking up a pile of leaves for Sweet E to play in and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was bright red. I looked down and saw three bright red objects in the grass. I picked them up....I have never seen these before. We are thinking they may possibly be wild strawberries, but are unsure since we have no prior experience with them. (really have no clue as to what they actually are.) And...what in the world would they be doing in the yard at the end of October! I just wanted to share pictures to see what everyone else thought. I thought it wa
