Catching Colds and Zzzzz's

We have done a lot of resting and sharing this last week…. sharing fevers and sore throats, that is. Monday Jacob started acting like he was not feeling well and came down with a fever (peaked at 104), earache and sore throat, next it was Emeron with the same symptoms, then came Abby-who didn’t want to-but did anyway, and then our little David without even knowing it found himself congested. Farrell decided today that he missed out on the sharing and joined in as well. As far as the kids go, Annie is the only one who didn’t participate in on this bout of sickness. Lucky girl. A look on the bright side however, we only had one co-pay and one prescription to fill! Enough of the sharing, now for the resting part….Look at this funny picture of Jacob, he found a warm and cozy hide-out under David’s crib to relax and catch a few “Z’s”.

I think it’s so funny how when all the kids have tried to forego naps, end up crashing in the most unlikely places to rest. I remember Farrell falling asleep on the pack porch, cheek against cold cement and all. Just last week Jacob fell asleep snuggled up on the kitchen rug. Then there are all the times they fall asleep during meals and while playing with toys. It seems they are sleep deprived and exhausted. Wait, that's me. ;)
