the kids test out our new air mattress.. seems to work! (no jumping!)
rolling around	tickle tickle!	Lorelei adores her brother
one stuffed muffin.. why does it look too big and feel too small? ugh	packaging is way better than whatever came in it..	Hmm, which toe should I eat first?
Oh you! Hi!	Boo!
an expedition to check the mail.. about all these sick kids could handle of the great outdoors
Meow? Fiona wants supper	Chapped cheeks from her boogie nose, but cheerful anyway	Good morning babe!
I normally only pick a few pictures from each set, but I had to include all of them, just to show you how completely futile taking christmasy photos with two sick kids was. What was I thinking??!?
ooh, soft dress!	cute one..	nope
um...	settle down guys...	this is going down hill fast
nothing like the christmas spirit	I asked Elliott if he could give me a smile, and he whined, "Nooo..." Meanwihle, lorelei has decided that sitting is a horrible idea	Fine, stand then! A bit too backlit here, oops.
Hey mom, did you see those toes?	slipping...	annoyed that I won't let him put his knees into his sweater
Um, not exactly the smile I was looking for	ok, forget it!	We try to clean up after the kids go to bed. Within hours of waking, this is what our living room looked like. The good news is that Elliott can wipe his own nose... sigh.
