Its Sunday, Nov.8, 09 I can't believe its almost Thanksgiving, and we all know what that means, Christmas is right around the corner. A couple of weeks ago John and I went to K-Mart and did a huge lay-a-away for the kids. Every year we go through their toys and have them give old ones to Good Will, and the broken toys go back to the north pole for Santa to fix and give out to other kids. We also have the kids pick out a couple of toys for toys for tots. We are by far not rich, but we are not living pay check to pay check either. Our kids want for nothing and I think its important to teach them the act of giving to less fortunate kids than them. This year Alex is really into it and I'm so proud of him. Just makes me think I'm doing something right raising my kids.

So on another note the kids have both been very very sick this weekend. I took them to the doctors on Friday, and Alex has huge blisters in the back of his throat. They tested him for strep, which came back negative, so the doc said that it is also one of the first signs, symptoms, of the swine flu. Yeah great!! So I went out and bought lots of popcicles, and soft foods for them to eat. The doctors told me to be prepared for all of us to get it. So far Syd has been fine, John and I have been fine, but Dakota woke up this morning feeling bad and has blisters in his throat. Guess he's next.

Remember everyone, carry your hand sanitizer with yo at all times, wash your hands regularly, and keep your mouth covered when you cough and sneeze. Take care and I hope none of tou catch this.
