My Sick Ones

It all appeared so suddenly.

Boogie noses

Sore throats

Coughing

And a fever

I can tell you right off the bat who has the best to worst immune systems in our family.

Leila's the one whose got a fever and sore throat...cause she's always the one to get the most sick.

Molly has a bad nose and wicked cough.  She's my second on the sick list.

Paige has a bad nose and gets stuffy at night.

And then there's Eden....she's got the rockin' awesome immune system that can fight a team of infectious germs blindfolded with their arms tied behind their back.

We joke that Eden took all the good health genes and left Leila with what was left.

So, while all the other kids are snotty, coughing, and feverish...there's Eden. 

(Yes, that was her playing hippie today.)

That same spunk also woke me up this morning.

I was exhausted last night and Tyson let me sleep in. I apparently was extremely tired as I remained sleeping until 10:30 when Eden woke me up.

(Just before 10:30)

Eden: "Can I print out a picture for church?"

Tyson: "I don't know if you're going to church cause all the girls are sick and I need to stay with them."

Eden: "No! I want to go to church! Can't I go with mom?"

Tyson: "She's still sleeping. How about you go up real quietly, gently wake her up, and see if she'll get ready to go to church (which is at 11)."

(Eden runs upstairs)

Eden: "MOM! GET UP! Dad said if we don't leave in 20 minutes then we'll miss church! Hurry!"

Not quiet as gentle of a wake up call. But we made it to church.
