Our life these days...

Last week Bob and I were really sick. Don't you hate that feeling when you can't stop coughing because your throat is so irritated? Bob's mom was really nice and made a huge pot of homemade chicken noodle soup. That's what we ate for 3 days! We are all feeling better now, but we are still a little sleep deprived. We burn the candle at both ends. We should really start taking better care of ourselves...I mean, we are adults. You think we would know how by now :)
Rex and Eli have been causing some mischief lately. But they get forgiven pretty quickly because they will turn around and do something really cute or thoughtful. Yesterday after church we were sitting at the dinner table and Rex asked, "How did your lesson go today, mom?" I just thought, wow my 4 year old just asked me a question because he cared about me and we can have an actual conversation. It is so fun that my kids are real people. Rex is actually one of the best sharers I know. Everytime he gets a treat from preschool he will save some of it in his hand all the way home to give to Eli. Then the other day when they wanted to play in the snow Eli was throwing a fit because his snow boots didn't fit him and he wanted to wear some like Rex. So Rex took his off and let Eli wear his and he wore regular shoes. It was so sweet! They are best friends and love each other so much. Eli is really trying to talk more and it is fun to watch his vocabulary grow. He is still obsessed with star wars. We have been getting all of the holiday ads and he finds the toys r us ad with the star wars toys and will carry it around all day. It is really funny. We know what will make him happy this Christmas!
Anyway, we are getting really excited for Christmas. Only 8 more days! Hope everyone is enjoying the season and has their shopping done :)
