Elise and Nathan were excited to get back to school this week, especially since Elise was finally able to wear her back to school shirt (the whole reason for the extra pic).

The excitement lasted three days and Elise was already sick of school. j/k, but she certainly didn't last long. She woke up Thursday with a fever and I kept her home. That night, I pointedly put out a bowl, water, fluffed her pillow, fetched her blanket and started a movie. Jim's mouth was hanging open wondering why he didn't get that sort of treatment when he was sick? :) It's all my mom's fault. That lady is a declared super women who wouldn't take a break if her leg fell off! She'd find a way to hobble and beat the record recovery time.
It's quite the record to live up to and I'm starting to realize it's just what mothers do. You could be sick as a dog during the night, but when day breaks you find a way up and keep on going. I think in my mind I figure, if I can do it, so can you. :) but, for the record -look how spoiled that child is!
day one, it's kinda fun

Nathan always finds some way to entertain himself! If a picture says a thousand words, this one says it all. Oh yes, boy of all boys, heart of my heart -this is Nathan to a T! "What? Mom, did you say something?!" I couldn't hear for all the busyness in between my ears! Did you see the signature engraved on my piano? :) "Hey, look mom -I can write my own name -now how do I erase it?"


I am remiss to say that you may also be wondering what Jim was doing, right? :) Jim was being the sweetie that he is and doing everything that I was SUPPOSED to be doing, so I could finish the book. THANK YOU!!
