the many faces of being sick

after a few days of many bodily functions, we finally got a reprieve and the kids had some energy...
enough energy to roller skate old school style with a blow up guitar...

 isaac's phrase these days after getting his diaper changed is, "no pants"...
how can i resist?  his legs are so cute!

 i told him to say "cheese" and he puffed up his chest (close enough buddy)

this was just hours before she came down with the bug...

love this boy

 she went down hard.  we've watched more barney, berenstain bears, veggie tales, and PBS kids than i dare to admit.  

 another moment of energy

what a difference a year makes!  her painting last year would always end up as a large finger-painted, purplish-brown blob.  this picture was intentional, neat, clean, organized, and rather beautiful!  she was so proud and so was i.

i never thought i would have inside jokes with my kids before they were two years old, but with isaac, that's just the case.  all i have to say is, "you can't eat that dog-dog" in a gruff voice and he'll crack up!  don't you wish you knew the whole story?!

 there aren't words to describe how stinkin' cute and sweet this little boy is.  reesey boy has been spared of this illness thus far and we pray it continues that way.  he sleeps like a champ, endures smothering hugs and kisses from his siblings (when they're not sick), and overall is just such a gift.  love you little man.  (p.s. if you couldn't tell from the excessive bib and towel on the exersaucer...he's a SPITTER!)
