Fevers, vomiting, and *stomach* troubles. Take your pick. This started Thursday night and I’m wondering when it will end. I’m just grateful I’m not sick.

Took the kiddos to Chuck E Cheese today and I snapped this picture of the 3 little ones with my phone. They were loving this monster truck.

This is the month that I will turn 30 years old. I have been dreading this for a very, very long time. In 23 days I will, once and for all, be old.

Rachel: I am so sorry that you are pukey sick, I hope you feel better soon. We’ll make the ice cream sundae’s that you missed out on today at your last day of summer school. When you wake up I will turn on “Wizard of Oz” for you.
Julie: I hope you are enjoying your last day at summer school. I am so bummed that I missed my last volunteering day but I hope that the cupcakes I made for your friends were good enough in my absence.
London: I love that you are becoming extremely independant with dressing yourself, eating, and getting yourself buckeled into your carseat. Please try to remember, my Prince, that you are not bullet proof.
Boston: You are obnoxious and wonderful and sweet. Like a bear cub. Fearless. Loving. You are me and I think that is why you and Daddy get along so well. I won’t admit this to anyone “in real life” but I think it is hilarious when you crack yourself up saying “Dooo Doo” because I know that you are only 1 year old but I am positive you know it is a “bad word.” So cool.

I found this picture on his sister’s facebook. He is adorable and London looks *JUST* like him!

Tomorrow we are taking down the walls in our living room and up to the stairway of the second floor. I’m not really looking forward to it because I cannot stand the feeling of plaster dust on my hands and feet but we have to get it done. The winter is around the corner and having another cold season with old, leaky windows and no insolation isn’t exactly the way to fight the rising cost of heating fuel.
We have a small group of teenagers that are expected at 8am so I need to get some cash, soda and pizza organized. :) I’ll take some pictures.
Today the kiddos and I are at home until mid afternoon when John comes home. We bought another air conditioner for one of the kids rooms which John will install tonight. I think the boys and girls might share a room tonight just for fun and if the sleeping improves with the new unit I might get a second one for the boys room. We have five bedrooms but the kids, for whatever reason, prefer to sleep together (R & J in one room and L & B in the other room). Our 3 small units seems to perfectly fit the first floor and it is pretty comfortable in here. It has been in the 90’s for the last couple of days so I haven’t been out on my bike but I am hoping it will happen tonight. Maybe I’ll ride to get the food supplies for tomorrow and ride the “eats” home in the bike trailer. I know it sounds boring but I love my bike time (with or without kiddos).

I could listen to this song, covered by Dave Matthews at least 12 times a day (if not 100).

I am so happy for her and excited for how much easier this will make it for me to take her on family bike rides, with and without John (like, when he is working). I am so proud!!!!
