Candle By Night

Well, a Mama can dream right? Although four new restaurants did just open up in our home. Big T's Treats, Sweet E's Bistro, Little E's Eats, and Special K's Cafe. The children were so adorable. They made up their own menus and everything. :-) We obviously need to work on counting money and how to write prices. ;-)  But it was nice that bacon and eggs were free and so were the drinks. She enjoyed coming up with her own menu. Beloved had a hard time deciding on what to order.   It's so much fun to watch them come up with stuff like this. They were sad when we told them it was bedtime because they weren't done playing. They are always asking for paper to make up new menus. :-) And a quick update on the family. We are still fighting sickness. On Friday Little E threw up in the van and last night (about 8 times) Sweet E was throwing up. We are just waiting to see if Big T or Special K comes down with anything. I pray it stops with those two. We have been s...

Unfortunately we still have sickness in the house. Praise the Lord that Big T no longer has a fever and Sweet E (at this point) does not seem to be sick at all. Little E has a runny nose, but if that is the worst of it...that is fine with me. Beloved is slowly getting better, but he still feels pretty bad. And the antibiotics make his stomach hurt as well. Can't win either way. As for me...my head feels really stuffed up (pressure) and my sinus' hurt. I pray that this goes away very soon as we try to get everything ready for when the baby decides to arrive. It's so exciting to think we will have a new little person in the house very soon. Seems like it has been forever since we had a baby in the house. I still have a lot to learn with our new camera, but the children give me plenty of opportunities. They just love to ham it up for the camera....as you can see here with Sweet E. :-) Oh...and I have received a couple of packages this past week. I know you may not care, but I ...

Who knew that wood floors are hard to sleep on? I mean...I always thought they would be comfy cozy....NOT! Well, a couple of weeks ago Sweet E had a fever for 4 days (no other symptoms) and then a few days later Big T and Little E got it. Same thing...just a fever...nothing else. Little E's was over in 2 days, but Big T's lasted for 5 days! His temp was at 104 at one point. Now....hubby is sick. Doctor says it is tonsillitis. I can not afford to get sick....so I haven't been sleeping in bed with Hubby. But...I don't want to sleep downstairs in case on of the children needs help during the night and I can't sleep in their rooms because I may wake them up since I go to bed later and sometimes get up in the night. So...I have made a bed on the wood floor in our bedroom. Sure hope hubby gets over this soon. But I guess it is good training for mission work if God ever decides to send me. :D

It is so hard to believe that it is already September! I was going to start preschool with Big T and Sweet E yesterday, but I had a sick boy on my hands. Big T wasn't throwing up or anything but he had a fever of 102 for almost two whole days. Yesterday I think he slept most of the day away, but today he is back to his old routine or going "rounds" with his sister. :o) Well...at least things are "back to normal". Not sure what was going on with him, but whatever it is...it appears to have gone away. I hope to write more very soon, but I need to get things together and get started on preschool.
