Our little sickie


Carissa's sick. Yes, sick. Puking and grumbling and feverish. She is just plain feeling icky. She has done nothing for 2 days except lay down, watch cartoons, drink a bit of water and sleep. The last 2 nights she took a nap and still went to bed at 5:30 and 6:30 pm then slept until morning. She NEVER does that. Poor girl. She doesn't look very happy, does she?

Because she's sick I think I will be missing the boys ZooSnooze, a Cub Scout overnight adventure at the Oregon Zoo. Brian took the days off and will go with the boys instead, which is great for them as they don't get a chance to do many of the overnight things with Daddy. But I'm sort of bummed to miss it.

Beyond that, nothing new is going on. We are all just hoping that the flu misses the rest of us!

Get better, Carissa - Hannah had it 2 weeks ago, but for her it lasted only one night (thank goodness!). Being 4 (almost 5) and sick is just no fun!

Sorry to hear you'll miss the ZooSnooze...but it's going to be good Daddy time for the boys!

Height Check ...

Image
I knew it would happen eventually -- today just happened to be the day. Twice a year we mark the kids heights and ages on our piece of wood kept especially for this purpose. The last several years Tristan has been steadily gaining inches on Chase, coming closer and closer to Chase's height. Today was the day when he surpassed his brothers height. Take a look at the closeup of the stick. Tristan, at age 9 1/2, just barely edged out Chase, age 11 1/2. While Chase knew it was coming, he is not exactly thrilled at the prospect of being smaller than his "little" brother. He, understandably, does not think this is fair. We've had some very frank discussions the last few months about the fact that Tristan is going to be bigger. He has Brian's "big" gene and is going to be a tall and brawny guy like his Dad. Chase on the other hand got a lot of my genes and will probably be a more average height. Tristan is thrilled to be bigger than Chase and has done a good jo...

I hate exercise

I do. I hate it. I know there are some people that love exercising, but I am not one of them. The 40 minutes I force myself to walk the treadmill are the longest, most excruciating 40 minutes of my life. I've never been a physical kind of girl - I never did sports as a child, never worked out, etc. So someone please tell me the secret to loving exercise because at this point I am NOT getting it!
