A post mostly about the kids!

It seems like all I've been posting about lately is the house, for obvious reasons, but I thought I'd put some pictures up of the kids on here. Brent and I spent the afternoon at the carpet store basement painting the 62 boards that will be our new exterior trim. They are getting them tomorrow morning and are going to start putting them up!! Brent and I just put a coat of mud on one of the living room walls b/c we HATE the texture that has been up there since we bought the house. We thought a cheap fix would be to mud over it, so that is just one of the projects we're doing. Anyway, enough about the house.

Hunter has been so cute during this whole remodeling process. He just loves to help Brent and pretty much follows him around like he's his shadow. Brent was cutting a hole in the floor for the new plumbing tonight and ran into an unexpected problem and was standing with his hands in his pocket thinking of a solution(which he did cause he's awesome) and Hunter stuck his hands in his pocket and stood right next to him. It's really cute to see. Here is a picture of the boys covering their ears while Brent was cutting that hole:
The kids haven't been feeling the greatest. I took Tate to the Urgent Care the other night b/c he had a fever of 104.6 and his throat was so swollen he could hardly talk. They just said he had the phantom virus that was going around. It was kind of hectic, b/c it takes close to an hour to get all the way to the clinic we went to, and I had just an hour to get there after making the appointment. I left the other two kids with my friend and left the rolls I had spent all afternoon making in the oven with nine minutes left to hopefully finish cooking with the oven shut off while I was gone. I was pleased to find when I got home that the rolls did indeed turn out, which was good b/c I was STARVING. The kids all have a runny nose now and Hunter had a fever yesterday. Brent had a fever last night and this morning, and I've got a constant tickle in my throat. Can I just say how eager I am for the sick season to BE OVER! I feel quarantined here not wanting to get any of my friends or their kids sick, but I'd sure like to see them! Here are some more pictures that I took today:


Tate and Callie looking at book together, actually getting along, something that is turning out to be rare with those two:
