Some Monday Morning Thoughts (no pics - sorry grandmas!)

We have been to the ER twice & dr office twice in the last 8 days - that is 4 too many times for me... (Jack has croup, LK has croup & big boys playing with fire is a bad combo!)

LK was in the ER until 10:30 last night for her croup & is still snoozing away (soooo thankful she slept all night!) 

Steroids make your kids crazy (at least I'm hoping it's the 'roids - one more day!) 

We have not sold our home and are seriously considering becoming landlords (are we crazy?)

The kids were sooo happy to see their daddy on Friday after being gone for the week for work. He leaves again on Sunday (this makes me sad)

We got to spend cousin time with Reese and Cade on Saturday morning and got to play crazy with the Sullivan's on Saturday night - we love, love, love having visitors in town - it makes mommy very happy!

I snuck away for some shopping time with Dana and a pedi with Jodi this weekend - again a happy mommy! 

Canterbury starts on Thursday - yikes! My mom and dad are coming to help - we are so blessed to have such amazing parents :) 

Our house is a disaster - we have no groceries - and I can't find half of the kids clothes so they have been wearing the same 3 outfits for the past 3 weeks... 

I love the kitchen at our rental - it makes me happy - I've been cooking and baking a lot - this weekend I made pumpkin muffins & carnitas - yummo!

What I should really be doing is working... did I mention I have a 4 day show starting on Thursday?! So, I should put down the coffee and get to work!

ps - I think I'm officially addicted to Caribou.. I'm going to try really hard to have no more than 3 cups a week... think I can do it?

Happy Monday everyone!
