Another Week (or Two)

We have still been sick... or, I should say, I have been sick, the kids have been recovering nicely (except for Smaug, who seems to have gotten a crusty nose again).  Well, I went to the pulmonologist yesterday to work on my breathing meds and he confirmned my suspicion of a sinus infection.  I haven't been able to taste anything since Sunday (which makes "dieting" a piece of cake!)... so I'm excited and ready for the antibiotics to kick this thing to the curb so I can taste and smell and breathe again!!!  You know, being sick is not fun, but I had a nice quiet 3 hours to myself :)

Anyway, we missed taking our little trip to Pensacola area to visit friends (and our visit with Gramps and Grammy), but we still managed to do something (I mean, we hung out at Tractor Supply for over an hour the other day... they have their Christmas kid toys out) :)  Without further ado, I now present the pictures I found on my camera this morning!

So, Mom, we talked about my stinky dishclothes.  I stole one of the kids bins (and since the lid and bin were seperated, the boys broke the lid, so now I have a designated soaking bin I guess) to soak my rags in vinegar water.

And then TW took a picture of me (3 actually, this one makes my arms look the least... chubby) using my board to scrub my rags.  Then I tossed them in the dryer (after a rinse).  I couldn't tell you if they smell better or not since I still can't smell anything right now :)

TW has been reading Little House in the Big Woods.  So, I decided to make man pancakes like Laura's Ma did on Christmas morning!

I got bored (and I wasn't good at it anyway) with men, so here's a turkey...

... and a flower (there were more, but I didn't want to annoy you!)!

On Monday, we went to 4-H.  As we unloaded the van we found out that Berry had not worn pants ("They have pee on them")... all I had was a spare boy shirt... oh well.

I think J and I enjoyed the presentation more than anyone.  While the Cloverbuds (little 4-Hers, like TW) painted pumpkins, we learned about poultry judging.  Very cool... the little guys liked the chickens ;)

I have a 5 gallon bin residing in my kitchen right now... Berry rode it and told me it was a motorcycle (goofy girl)!

Here's Tractor Supply :)

In Other News:  It's not really cold enough to wear long pants to bed, but it's dark enough to play with flashlights in the evening :)
