Wake Me Up When This Is Over

This is pretty much what we have been doing of late. It started about the first week of Feb and since then at least one of us has been sick with one ailment or another. It starts with one and while the others might not get that exact illness, I think it ties up their immune system leaving them vulnerable to something else. At least Ryan is good at downing medicine. Sometimes he will actually open the drawer where we keep the syringes, dig one out and bring it to me. I think we are on our third bottle of ibuprofen. Kyle even missed his Valentine’s Party. I can’t believe I didn’t get a picture of his box, it was basically Star Wars stickers on a big red heart. Nothing quite symbolizes love like a droid getting it’s head whacked off with a light saber. We are all a little better, but none of us is 100%. Good timing for the Winter Olympics. If couch sitting was an event, we would surely score a medal. Kyle is pretty into it this year and I always get addicted, so it has been fun to watch with him. His favorite teams are USA of course and Germany because Jason told him that his Great-Great Grandfather was born there. He always has his eye on the medal count and thought the US should concentrate on hockey because if you win that, everyone gets a medal so we would go up by like 20 in the medal count. Always thinking. The one big exception to the boys Olympic fever is all forms of figure skating, which makes Jason happy. Oh and one of the pics shows half of Kyle's face. Grant has taken to transforming the train table into a tent and sleeping under it. Kyle being ever such a good big brother, joins him from time to time. The first time he did, Grant was so excited, he came out the living room and proudly annouced "they were just having so much fun". Reapperance after bed time is not unusual. So much so that Ryan (who is usually getting rocked to sleep in the recliner which is a whole different post) will start yelling "Go Bed" when he sees his brothers. I wonder where he got that from?
