Garden and Sickies

Scott is almost finished with the garden! He will finish painting it this weekend and then we will plant everything. We are also going to paint the chicken coop. We let Macey and Heidi pick what colors we are going to paint everything, and Macey picked turquoise and white for the garden and Heidi picked purple for the coop. We are going to have a colorful backyard! Here are a couple pictures of the construction process.



I am making good progress on my projects as well, but I don't want to post any pictures until everything is done. :) But I absolutely love how everything is turning out! I start my laser course at school tonight, and I am so excited! We do laser hair removal and lots of different laser treatments for the skin, including vein removal and wrinkle reduction. Can't wait!

The kids have all been passing around hand foot and mouth. These poor kids have been miserable! High fevers, no sleep, blisters, yuck. Ryan and Jenna got the sickest. When Jenna had it, she screamed for 3 days straight. She wouldn't sleep or eat, we were all exhausted. When Ryan had it, all he wanted to do was sleep. He would just fall asleep wherever he was when he felt the need for a nap. It was actually pretty sad. Marley got by with a few blisters, she didn't get a fever. Macey and Heidi both had high fevers and only a couple blisters. The only thing that would cheer the little ones up was Elmo. Let me tell you, Cinderelmo is even more annoying at 2:30 in the morning!



Jake must not have been feeling very well either. :)

Nana brought everyone ice cream cones to cheer them up and soothe their sore mouths. These were the twins' first ice cream cones!
