Proof is in the Pout

Poor guy!  It always seems like sickness hits the little guys the hardest.

Before the Plague, there was a Sparkly Witch, a Mutant Turtle, & a Cute Frog

So, this is the one lone pathetic picture that I was able to capture on my phone from our Ward's Halloween party/Trunk-or-Treat on Oct 27th.  (Jon couldn't come because he had class that night.)  Not sure if you can tell, but Zoe's hanging on to Eli as he tries to make a run for it!  He's not leaning into her like that by choice.  Zoe had just barely gotten over her fever.  Unbeknownst, to me, I was just starting the fever bit--Happy Birthday to me!  After this night, we went into complete quarantine/lock down mode--even on actual Halloween night.  This was just the start.  Zane, then Jon, & finally Eli all got the fever.  Between Zoe & Zane, they missed a whole week of school.  Zane even missed his class Halloween party--so sad.  It's been 2-3 weeks, & we're finally starting to get back to whatever normal is for us.  Here's to our continued health!

Outing to get . . .

Make a Smilebox postcard

It's been *forever* since I've created/posted a Smilebox, so enjoy!
I love how you can see Eli's little shoes poking out in one of the pics. He looks so little in the big salon chair. His haircut makes him look much more boy that baby.

In case anyone's wondering, I stayed home with Zoe, who woke up this morning with a fever & had to miss her fun Church/Stake Activity Day! :(

This is something new that the Art Teacher @ our school's done.
I'll try to update whenever they post new stuff.
Let me know if you would like to be added to his Fan Club.

Time for a Hair Cut . . . ?

This is how Jon "styled" Eli's hair after bathtime tonight.
How do you like it?

Who needs toys when you have an empty box?

Eli Mastering the Stairs

So, in case you can't tell, this video was taken early October.
Sorry it's taken me so long to get it posted.
I was trying to figure out if there was a way to upload a video directly from my eMac to Blogger.
Apparently there isn't--unless I want the extra step of uploading first to YouTube--which I don't.
So the only way for me to upload is from my iPhone--
--which only lets me do 60 seconds worth of video to post by email.
As opposed to the whole video, if it's longer.  IRK
In theory, it really shouldn't be this complicated!  :)
OK . . . rant over.  Enjoy the video.

Poor Guy

Can. not. be. lieve. Eli's still getting bitten by bugs!
I guess that's one reason to look forward to winter??!!?
At least this time it was on his little hand & not on his face!
