Day: October 26, 2008

jasper woke up this morning with a yukky cough. whenever jasper is making sounds like that my first concern is that the sounds are emitting from his chest. i am happy to say that they aren't, that this appears to be just a phlegmy cough. but still, although i think he is quite healthy, i also think that he needs to take the day off from church, because frankly, if i was a first timer to union church and took my child to sunday school, i wouldn't be too impressed to have mr down to one pack a day hacking next to him.

sebastian is currently at rugby and the littles are watching dumbo in another room. as much as i would like to be with them, i draw the line at dumbo. goodness knows i have tried to watch the sweet little tale with them, but from the first, none of us really watched the movie. the kids would watch me, blinking rapidly, sniffling and then giving way to the tears pouring down my face, and when they got old enough, asking, "why cwy, mumma?". to put it in circus terms, i was the big tent attraction come dumbo time.

carys is coughing a bit too.

i want to take the kids hiking today. i wonder if i can do that?

if i was a better mum, i would have the kids halloween outfits all figured out, tried on and ready for friday. however, in defense of my anal retentive nature, the boys are going to wear what they wore last year, and the girls just want to be princesses, and i can go to the lanes and get princess costumes for $15 canadian a pop tomorrow in virutally any size. easy peasy lemon squeezy.

DOH! just went to check up on sela and WHAT part of dumbo did i stumble upon? like i needed an excuse to hug my kids.
