Wed June 17th

Lincoln woke up with a fever in the night. Poor little guy. Luckily with a little Motrin in his system he was able to go back to sleep. 

Lisey's new favorite phrase is "boo yaa". It's so funny to hear her saying it around the house. Ella did the dishes all by herself for the first time today. She had to do them as a consequence for splashing water out of the bath last night. I will definitely be having her do the dishes more often. 

After Lincoln's nap we went the mall. The mall has a merry-go-round just like the one in Texas. It even has the same frequent rider card. The only thing different about it is that it costs $.50 more than the one in Texas. Lame. Actually pretty much everything costs more here in Illinois. The only thing that's less is the tax on food. 

I put Lincoln in the polkadotted moby wrap today at the mall and he loved it. And I loved it too. He even took a nap in it. I definitely need to be using the moby more. It may save my arms and back from major pain. 

After the mall we went to Walmart just for a minute to get Nick's Father's Day meal items. He's going to have bacon and eggs for breakfast and filet mignon for dinner. Spoiled boy, yum yum :). 

We got home early enough for a movie night. We watched the new tinker bell and the neverbeast one. Pretty good. The tinker bell movies are all very well made. Leave it to Disney to make cool stuff. They're good. 

The girls had a really hard time falling asleep tonight. Ella was feeling really attached to me. She didn't want to let go of my arm when I tucked her in. I wonder what's up. Overtired? Hard adjustment from the move? Poor kidos. They were born into a band of gypsies. Or I guess the more positive way to say it is "we're an adventure family" (that's what Ella likes to say). We are adventurous. And crazy. 

I went for a run after putting the kids to bed. I needed to let off a little stress. Lincoln is one great little boy but he wants the be held all day. And between him and Lisey my body is a personal juggle gym. Nick come home early but wasn't really home. He was on the phone most of the evening. The run felt great. I ran just 2 miles but I ran fast and hard. Let the sweat rain down! :)
