Some for Sunday

We haven't been up to much of anything the past few days. We've played games as a family, went to the library and took a Saturday afternoon drive. We Redboxed a couple movies (Secret Life of Bees & Madagascar 2), went to a primary activity, attended a baptism and didn't clean nearly enough. A pretty quiet weekend. And just a few more for documenting.

• Last night when I was getting ready to go to bed Nathan came stumbling out of his room so sick and burning up with a fever. His fever was 103.5 and it came out of nowhere. We had just been to a baptism and nothing was wrong with him there. I had to tell him to sit still at least 10 times. When he got up out of bed he was shaking and said he felt so sick he didn't want to go back in his bed. I made him a bed on the couch and stayed up with him long enough for the motrin to kick in and then went in and tried to sleep myself. Knowing he was so sick, I got up a few times to check on him and even sent Milo a time or two. He woke up with a much lower fever thank heavens but he and I (Reed too) stayed home from church today. You know this boy is sick when he doesn't move off the couch all day long and doesn't act goofy even once! When I thought he was feeling better I begged him to act silly and he said he just couldn't do it. He did perk up a bit before bed so I'm hoping it was just some 24 hr bug and he'll be fine in the morning. And I'm crossing my fingers no one else gets it.
  

• This is for my mom. When I talked to her after my last post she said she missed Dane and needed a photo of him too. This is today right before church.

• He is such a funny kid. Today after church he was so tired and this usually translates into rude talk and naughty behavior for him. Our 1-4 time isn't so hot for him either. I mentioned to Milo that Nathan and I snuggled on the couch for quite a while and this totally set Dane off. He looked at both Nathan and I so mean and yelled, 'What do you guys think you're popular or something?!' It was so hard not to laugh because that sets him off even more but where does he get this stuff?
• With at least 80% accuracy, every time I wash Nathan's sheets and Milo makes his annoying top bunk, he wets the bed the first night back in them (I'm sure he'll love me typing that). So just to make sure the bunk bed sheets are uber clean, both beds have been done twice this week! Why does he do this?
  
• Everyone keeps asking how Milo and I are doing with so much together time this past week. It's funny because they assume we're ready to kill each other. So much stress was lifted a week ago and while it was replaced with another stress, the difference between the two has been noticeable. I'd give us an A- for this first week. We're not sure if we can keep that grade up but we're really working on it!

• We had a primary activity yesterday and ONE family not in the presidency showed up. We had lots of fun games for them to teach their families, gave them an FHE lesson to take home and teach and had fun treats. It was disappointing but what can you do? Our one saving grace is that between us as a presidency we had 11 kids there. Plus the 4 from the one family that came. So 15 isn't a total bust, those kids had fun.

• I really wanted to take some photos yesterday for the monthly photo challenge from Take Out Photo because of the gorgeous sunshine we were enjoying. I convinced the kids and Milo it would be fun but when it came right down to it, the only one that cooperated was this bull, ha! (Maybe next week I'll sneak out by myself.)
