It's kinda been a rough week....our poor daycare lady caught the dreaded swine flu so we have not had daycare ALL WEEK! Turns out there is no such thing as a back-up daycare....you just gotta hope you know somebody who is a stay-at-home mom or retired or something like that. Unfortunately for us, we don't know very many of these folks so we had to get creative. Marc took kid duty on Monday and Aunt Katy (cousin Andrew goes to daycare with Jacksen and Kellan) and I split the day on Tuesday and Wednesday. Today the boys got to spend the morning with Great Grandma Sam...they were thrilled! Grandma Sam loves children...and she never tells them no. She is definitely Kellan and Jacksen's kind of gal!
AND, if having no daycare all week wasn't enough, the brakes on my minivan started making a terrible noise last Sunday. My sweet (and very handsome) husband took it apart Sunday evening....and there it still sits in our garage with no rotors (whatever those are), break pads, or tires. Luckily, my favorite twin sister let me borrow her car this week! Never thought I'd say this, but I'm kind of missing my van. I know it isn't cool to drive a van, but they sure are convenient when you have three kids and lots of stuff to haul around!
Anywho, enough about the dreary stuff! We actually did some fun things this week...on Tuesday evening we carved pumpkins.

And tonight, Miss Megan participated in a little show about China during parents' night at PEAK. PEAK is an after-school enrichment program that Megan attends three day a week. It's a wonderful program and she loves it!
