Some Mondays are Mondays

1st California sick day

Colin's tummy is upset.  No eating, lots of fussing, lots of laundry, and lots of the things that cause laundry.

Finally a Strawberry Shortcake movie and some Pedialyte settled him.

Well, really all the boys enjoyed the Strawberry Shortcake movie.  And that's okay.  I'm not sure what the movie was actually about. I mean everyone was named after fruit and there were very odd looking talking strawberries, but it never really arrived at a point.  But, the boys were quite for a good 40 minutes. {ahhh}

It had been a nice run of us all being healthy.  Here's hoping tomorrow we will all wake up and start a new streak of being illness free.

Since we are trying to make sure we try all the ways to arrange the kids in this house {HA!} we swapped the kids rooms, after dinner, dangerously close to bedtime.  This whole thing is just trial and error.  Let's hope this is more trial turned success than error. {'Cause moving bunk beds is no piece of cake.}

We ate seeing exactly how many ways we can rearrange the kids {helping}

What with all the tools, out of place furniture and tired kids we took an evening walk while the room swap was completed.

Evening walk shadows.

The boys loved the walk.  We went a different direction and there were new sights all around.  We stumbled upon a whole strip of houses that have American flags in the front of their homes just a few blocks down.  It was quite charming.

I'm sure there will be more Mondays in our future that behave like Mondays, but that is okay. I know the memories that will remain are the snapshots of joy tucked in the creases.
