house full of sickies

Sitting here early Saturday morning, sipping my coffee and realized I have not blogged this week. I think that is in large part due to the fact that we are all battling colds here. Thankfully, the boys are feeling much better...Shane with that never ending runny nose though (as seen in the pic)....and Nicholas now thinking that his bubble gum medicine is going to be a permanent part of bedtime. Yep, liking that bubble gum flavour.

We are letting Daddy sleep in this morning....it's been a long, stressful week for him with work. I think his plan today is to get the powder rooms floor tiled. A start in the right direction anyway. We have all these great ideas to get the house ready to be listed but definite lack of energy to get them done. Johnathon and I are about over our colds so no more excuses...time to get it done! We have another realtor coming for an evaluation Weds evening....and I am going to call another today and have them come out Weds afternoon. Wish us luck everyone, this is going to be a rough road I think. The houses in our area are just not selling. Now, if we could just decide between a brand new build or a re-sale home???!!! And if we do buy new, who wants to take us in while being built?? Any takers..?? Two cats, a dog, two boys, Johnathon and I....not too much to ask, is it?? hehhehe.

So, I was saying to Johnathon that we need to start writing down some of the things that come out of Nicholas' mouth. This child is just too funny! And of course, now that I want to share a story, nothing is coming to me except when we were out for lunch the other day with Vicki and Lisa. We were just at Dairy Queen and I was up at the counter ordering while the ladies watched the boys. Well, they have a great big jar type container on the floor that people donate money to for charity. Nicholas asked why this jar was there. Vicki told him that people give money so they can help needy children. So, Nicholas goes uh, well...I'm a child and I need that money for my piggy bank. LOL. Okay, not my best story but all I know is that Vicki and Lisa were laughing their butts off. Too cute.

For my Canadian friends and family....have a fun, safe Victoria Day long weekend (albeit a soggy one)...and everyone else enjoy their weekends as well.
