The good, the bad, and the ugly...

I downloaded the pictures off my camera and I felt like there was a range of emotions as I looked at them:
The good:







The bad:
The ugly:






Merril chopped all his hair off last Saturday and that means mohawk or statue of liberty spikes. It's only for a day and then he shaves the rest. What a punk. Now he just has a bald head. He's almost completely healed from his stitches too. I took out his stitches last Wednesday. Thanks to Jessica for the tips on taking out stitches!

Other than that, Max and Jack are sick. Juliet is still unaffected and I hope to keep it that way. But at least it's Spring Break so I don't have to keep Maxine home from school.

Juliet will be 9 months old next week and yesterday she almost pulled off an army crawl. She was on her tummy, pushed with her toes and leaned forward on her elbows. There was actually some forward momentum but I doubt she'll be moving anywhere with any speed for a while. She's barely starting to wave and clap her hands too. I love this age!
Ahhh, and the time change. Today we're being particularly slow to get going because the kids are sick, it's Monday and because of the time change. It's 10:39 a.m. and I have yet to have a shower. Eeeewwwww. All the kids are in pajamas and might remain that way until Noon. Besides, I don't have anywhere to go today anyway.
Oh, watched a movie called Becoming Jane, which I rather liked, which inspired me to read a Jane Austen book that I haven't read before. I started Persuasion on Thursday and finished it on Sunday afternoon. Neglected home, kids, etc. and remembered how much I like reading Jane Austen. One of my favorite authors. Anyhoo, it's shower time!

My morning has gone about the same. Excepty instead of a couple of sick kids, it's me and McKay. I've decided sick days (whether your kids or your own) are great days to read because your house is already mess. How did you like persuasion? I"ve been thinking about it, but opted for the Twilight series, not sure if my cloudy head could comprehend anything harder and/or unfamiliar. :)

Hope everyone feels better soon!

3 comments: 1) Heard about Merril's hair, glad I could see it. 2) I HATE daylight savings time--was given a reprieve in Arizona for ten years without it. I had to wake all three of my kids up for 9:00 church on Sunday. 3) Persuasion is my favorite Jane Austen book. I just got Becoming Jane from Netflix today and can't wait to watch it.

Hey - I slept in on Monday also and the day flew by.

No I haven't seen Becoming Jane...or read a good book in awhile...I'm lame.
