Yesterday and Today

YESTERDAY:

1.  #1 and #4 were home sick from school with a Stomach Virus! Will health ever return to household again?  I sure hope so and soon.  As the saying goes, "I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired!"  I blame the smog!
2.  This girl and I spent 2 hours hanging out at the Orthodontist's getting her new smile (or what will be in about 2 years) put on.  Who knew there were a million decisions you have to make when getting braces put on.  Do you want regular brackets or ceramic?  What color(s) rubber-bands would you like?  Would you like to put your bottom braces on today or wait a few months and put them on then?  Decisions, decisions!  #2 isn't the fastest decision maker.  She likes to take her time and really weigh the pros and cons. Finally after asking a million questions of our own, we she finally decided on ceramic top, regular bottom, clear rubber-bands, and it's better to get the pain over with all at once, so yes, both top and bottom braces were put on.
 3.  We came home to #3 making a jumbo batch of Chocolate Chip Cookies.

and Miss Little Future Baker supervising him making sure he did everything correctly!

TODAY:
 This is the usual view from our back porch.
This was the view this morning.

Dear Mother Nature, 
All this smog/fog is making me feel claustrophobic.  Please send a huge storm immediately.  We  could really use the snow!  Thank You.

Sincerely,
Claustrophobic Sick and Tired Mother of 6 Sick and Tired Kids.
