health isn't even an option

we have been sick for around a month now. at one point during the past month, one of us has been sick. once that person starts to get better, another one gets taken down. we have the cold/flu from hell and it scares me. speaking of scary, the three (soon to be four) year old's favorite pastime is going to the halloween stores and seeing all the scary stuff. i have been running around trying to find a hat for walter's halloween costume and she has been loving it. what's funny is when other little kids come into the store and start screaming, tessa comes and when i tell her it's time to go, she starts screaming. tonight walter asked kylee to clean her room and she replied, "you're putting too much pressure on me". SCARY! brenton still thinks the scariest thing in the whole world is throwing up. which no one has done. but he is still worried about it. but is hasn't happened in quite awhile. but there is still a possibility. YES BRENTON EVERYONE COULD THROW UP RIGHT NOW AT THE SAME TIME! i don't actually say that to him. i just think it in my head and smile and give him a hug. the thing with this cold/flu contagion is that it can come around for a second round. sometimes life can just be sucky.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD, EVEN THOUGH YOU DON'T READ THIS, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
