Mountains! Beach! or Both!…

It’s the last day of 2012 and I find it ironic that my word of the year was healthy and here I am still sick in bed with fever wrapped up in Matty’s spiderman blanket.  This picture pretty much sums up my last couple of days with little improvement.  😦 

The weather is gorgeous so the boys played outside all day.  Andy increased the speed on Davy’s jeep so they have been tearing up the neighborhood most of the day.  Here’s a pic of the boys lighting fireworks, they had a great evening.

Well it is official!  The cold that has been circulating through our house for the last two weeks has now found its way back to me.  This doesn’t surprise me at all and I really don’t mind, colds happen, but what sucks is the coughing.  I have been coughing since December 14th and it is not getting better :(.  Last night I happened to make an overnight french toast casserole, which was perfect because all Andy had to do this morning was bake it.  It was delicious.  Most of the day he has been playing with the boys so that I can get some rest, hopefully soon we will all kick the cough and get back to normal.  Our one outing today, was to take the boys to Starbucks for some hot chocolate.  It is in the 40’s today, burrrrrr, so this little drink hit the spot.

Happy 36th Birthday to me!!!  Today was a great and relaxing day.  Andy let me sleep in, the weather was gorgeous we opened up all the doors, we ate some delicious cookies and cream pie, played a game of Quirkle (which Davy crushed us in), and then we all climbed onto the couch to watch Back to the Future part 3.

Now do they get any cuter than this??!!  We stayed home today and the boys played with Caiden and Finn.  They played Skylanders off and on, and then they were outside the rest of the time riding around on whatever toy they could find or playing hide-and-seek.

Today, I moved into the front two rooms.  As small as they are they took me hours.  I even washed the walls…  🙂  I rearranged the man room (now boy room) to better accomodate the boys for video game playing.  Davy says, “wow mom!, I feel like we live in a new house.”  He’s so cute.  I tried to get a picture of them, not sure why they have the scary eyes, but here they are playing Skylanders…

Today we woke up a little tired from our big day yesterday.  Matty now has the cold that has been moving its way through the family, and he has fever.  He played a little with Davy, but most of the day he spent on the couch.  I started the Christmas breakdown and cleaned up the kitchen and family room.  I left the couch and moved the chairs, this rearrangement is a nice change.  Our poor tree barely made it this year, when I bumped her branches the needles just rained down onto the floor and she was half way brown… Ha!  She was still pretty though.

After a long and wonderful day, Matty and Daddy curl up on the couch to watch a little Ice Age 4…
