Quirkiness

A little while ago one of my sister-in-laws blogged about some of her quirks. I never responded (sorry K) but I thought I'd share one of my kids quirks.

My kids love to drink milk and only milk when they have sore throats! Milk is supposed to make a sore throat worse not better but no matter what Xavien and Ivie will drink cup after cup of the stuff when they aren't feeling well. Seriously one week we went through 5 gallons of milk! Ivie spent most of this morning coughing so after I got her to drink her yogurt smoothie (long story) I gave her a cup of milk. She took a sip, looked right up at me and said "Thank you!" and then proceeded to gulp the cup down.

At least I know they are getting all the calcium they need!

Dr. Seuss and Snow day

We have snow once again! In March!! I have to say I am pretty disgusted! The weather was in the 70s Friday and Sunday night we are getting snow. I have no problem with snow (except people don't know how to drive in it here....me included) but I would like the weather to pick something and stick with it. Mother Nature is being very fickle! To make matters worse everyone in our household is in varying stages of a cold...going out to play the snow is not such a good idea.

Today is Dr. Seuss's birthday. Kanayla's class at school had a big celebration planned so we have had our own celebration at home today. I discovered we have more than 7 Dr. Seuss books, which we have read each one today. Kanayla even memorized a section of Green Eggs and Ham. Then we watched the movie, "Horton, Hears a Who!" Last I printed out coloring pages and our home is decorated like a Dr.Seuss book. It's been fun!

It has been nice to have Kanayla home from school today. She helped me plan and organize tonights FHE and Xavien loves having his big sister around to tease and torment (in other words play with.) I hope all of the rest of you are having great Monday's too.
