weary from the weekend!

The picture above just sums up our morning.

Marcus was up hollering all night last night with a cough and possibly ear infection (or a headache?) We stayed home from church this morning, along with Aggie, Seth, and Eldon who all sound awful with their coughs. Josh and I are exhausted, but this morning Marcus kept trying to start a wrestling match with the other kids (they were not amused). Then we tried to get him to have room time while I made lunch- he threw an enormous fit and ended up passed out face down on the floor- hence the picture. He ate a huge lunch, had a great nap, and is now back to trying to find a wrestling partner!

Marcus worked hard for me yesterday- here he is dragging a bag of corn- he helped me shuck it too! What a little worker!

Seth was a worker yesterday too. He helped me clean his room yesterday- he used his big muscles to help me move the furniture and everything! Of course cleaning the room lead to the discovery of many cars he hasn't seen in awhile! He decided to put all the ones "with smiles" on his bed in a line. Here he is with the mommy car, the daddy car, the grandpa truck, and all the kids and their friends! (Katie Burbrink you are one of those friends!)

Aggie likes to do "school" with me, which is nice because she does have a bit of catching up to do! Here she is with her hen (we are working on short vowels this week.)

Poor Lorraine got sick on her second day of school- she had a fever so I had to keep her home. She was SO sad! But on Saturday she bounced out of bed and got a pretty dress on. Here she is working on her homework! She sure does love first grade!
