at my Flickr! I’ll tell you the story about the first three pictures tomorrow.

I was supposed to pick up pictures from Images (that’s the little film place here) on Monday, but I was still a bit tired and not feeling well. I’m still feeling worn out because I keep coughing at night still, but I’m doing better, so I’m going to pick it up today when I take Noelle to dance class.

Anyway, this should have a picture of Noelle dressed for her first dance class and, I can’t remember but I’m hoping, it also has Christine dressed for dance. I know that one day we were having a silly day and I was just taking pictures and I think I got all five kids in one picture smiling. I didn’t make sure their hair was all pretty or anything, but if I got them all smiling, that will be really nice and worth it. The next challenge… have all five kids smiling AND have both cats in the picture. Yeah, right! That will be the day that pigs fly.

Oh, and the birds were back today.  I was already awake and had fun watching the cats when the huge flock flew over our house.  They went crazy!

AnnaBeth and Noelle fight a lot.  Lately, they haven’t been doing it quite as much.  Noelle started wanting to play “Family” with AnnaBeth.  She’ll come up and say, “I’m the Mommy.  Who do you want to be?”  If AnnaBeth wants to be mom, Noelle is willing to switch her role.  They’ve been having many hours of fun doing this.  Of course, I’m not used to Noelle yelling for Mommy and it not be me, so I’ve gotten distracted in my work (dishes, laundry, etc.) many times by her calling for AnnaBeth while they are playing.

Well, today anyway.  I’m sick.  Jeremy’s sick.  AnnaBeth and Noelle are sick.  Christine is coughing a bit and James has a slow runny nose, so I guess they are a little bit sick.

We aren’t going to miss a lesson though.  We’ll be having one of them later and we’ll work with Amie and James on their Bible Drill stuff later as well.
