This is the tradiational dress worn by the little girls in Chile only in September.
Ben and I had a great Vacation for my birthday and our anniversiary
Brent and Garrett are wearing the tradiational hats that all the chiliean children wear only in September.



This is part of Garretts Halloween Costume. He wears it everyday and loves it. He keeps saying I want to be a football player someday... Will you come watch me?
Aunt Suzie saved us this week by giving the kids some birthday presents. They spent hours playing with each thing.


This is me after 5 days with all three kids having the stomach virus and to add to the fun, also a run of head lice with Kaylee and myself. At one point as I was getting children in the bathtub Kaylee starts throwing up so as I am taking care of her I look down and Garrett is using the restroom on my leg saying " Sorry Mommy, I sorry mommy." This was about day 3 of the week so by this point nothing was surprising to me. I said "Its ok Garrett there have been worse things this week." Then they proceeded to take a very long bath with the bath toys that Suzie gave them. Thank you Suzie. I just have to laugh in those situations.
This picture is taken after one of my daily treatments for the head lice. I can't use my normal products on my hair so it is suffering. Ben and I couldn't stop laughing. It has been a crazy week and hopefully not as eventful next week.

After a treatment? I look like that every single morning. Chloe says, "mommy you have crazy hair." Yes I know, us curly headed folk have it hard. :) right? haha

Way to go on chalking it all up to just how it is sometimes. What G said and did... so funny

Alicia-
I just laughed so hard that I produced real tears. Thanks for sharing the picture and story of your rough week. I'm sure it wasn't as funny in the moment.

I didn't buy Mazee's school pictures for the same reason. In addition to being so expensive the lighting and quality was terrible. I did worry that she would be sad if she was the only one who didn't get any but I asked her and she said it was okay. The pictures you took of your children are precious!
