Just a few things...

Today was Peyton's last soccer game. He had a good time playing for his first season. It was pretty frustrating for Dan and I because by the end of the season Peyton really just wanted to run around and fall on the ground, if the ball came near him he would give it a kick but that was pretty much it. He just isn't very competitive yet and you can't make someone be competitive, especially a 4 year old! He started out the season pretty aggressively but by the end he really just lost his drive. I'm sure as he gets older and understands the game more he'll be a pretty great player but until then Dan and I just need to watch, smile and cheer him on.


When I picked the kids up from daycare on Thursday they told me that a kid in Bailey's class had H1N1 so I knew that Bailey would probably get it. Sure enough a few hours later the fever started. I took her to the Dr. later that night and they did a rapid Flu A test (H1N1 is a strain of Flu A most everyone that tests positive for flu A have swine flu -at least right now). It was a 10 minute test and they came in after 2 minutes and said it was already showing Flu A positive! She has been pretty sick and miserable. 104+ temps ,tossing and turning all night and a nasty nose and cough. This morning her fever broke so hopefully she is on the down side of the illness. Yesterday I started having a cough and feeling yucky, today of course, it's worse. I'm still not as bad as she has been so that's good. Dan and Peyton are fine so far, so hopefully they wont be getting it.

The kids are so excited for Halloween. Peyton is going to be Darth Vader and Bailey is going to be Bat Girl. They would wear their costumes everyday if we would let them. It's going to be fun watching them since they actually know what is going on now.

Your kids are super cute! I LOVE bat girl!! Looks like it's going to be a good halloween. Funny!

Peyton is so cute playing soccer. It's got to be frustrated as a parent, but I think at that age, most kids are just picking thier noses not even knowing what is going on. enjoy it! ha ha

So sorry to hear that swine flu got ya...Its everywhere! Is Bailey feelin any better? How about the rest of the family? Hopefully you guys will be immune to it now and not have to go through this again! I am still trying to decide if I want to go wait in line at the health dept to get Parker vaccinated. ughh!
