Gone, Daddy Gone

It's just my luck that everytime James goes out of town the sickness strikes. James was away 10 days and I think we had 3 seperate episodes of illness. Lots of laundry, cuddles, and trying to get liquids into the boys. Fortunatly I wasn't on teaching placement, so I was able to stay at home with the sick boys.
Word of advice if you are about to have kids...at a min, you'll need a King size bed. We recently upgraded from a Queen to a King when we moved houses, and I will never ever go back. Our new mattress is heaven, and seriously one of my favourite parts of the day is actually going to sleep. Usually I'm not asleep for very long, as my mommy trained ears will wake at the slighest sound of someone crying from down the hall, but when I do get to sleep....ahhh, it's so nice.

Anyways, if you don't want a King, go for the super king. You'll need it when your offspring jump into bed with you when they wake up at the crack of dawn and refuse to go back into their own bed. On weekends, there's nothing better than sleeping in. And by sleeping in I actually mean 'laying in' and reading books to the kids till they get bored of that. If we're lucky the 'lay in' may last till 8 am. Maybe.


When James was away I tried to take some pics of the boys while we were hanging out in the bed. It's pretty difficult to get both boys looking and smiling at the same time. I told Luca, "can you make Wyatt smile?" I thought he's laugh or giggle or make a funny face, but instead he starts pushing Wyatt's cheeks up with his hands. Ha ha!
Trying to prolong the 'lay in' by taking self photos! I took a dozen of these, and this was the only one that came out halfway decent.
