Team Staley: Around the house

So that is what it feels like to have all five of us sick over the last 3 weeks. Ugg! Piper kicked it all off with high fevers and an ear ache. It is so sad to have little ones in pain, and not being able to fix it. We did eventually get her in to see our friend a chiropractor, and this seemed to be the most helpful - Thanks Brandi! The boys followed suit and came down with something too, oh the snot that came out of these guys, non stop runny boogers, we couldn't keep up with all the goober getting. Yuck. =-(

Dave stayed strong the longest with constant netty potting, but I fell hard and couldn't believe how bad I felt. I don't think I really got sick last year when the twins were little...no time I guess with all the nursing and diaper changing, but this cold helped me regain some sensitivity to people that are in the middle of a cold. This was a bad one that kept teasing me to think I was better, then it would hit hard again and knock me out again.

Unfortunately this all hit during Piper's spring break from school, which also was a super cold yucky week weather wise. So we were pretty cooped up, it was a long week to say the least. We read lots of books and enjoyed several movies to get us through. I have to say, it was so cute and cuddly to have all 6 of us (Mango included) snuggled up on the couch as we watched the 1979 original "Benji the dog" movie. The first 15 minutes there are pretty much no words, just shots of this awesome dog making his way around the town. Even the boys had the attention span to enjoy this part of the movie. They kept pointing and saying "dog, dog"! So fun!

Here are a few random pics over the last few weeks...

Watching a movie!
