Last week the kids started out with what I thought was a cold. It never got really bad and when I would start to think that I needed to take them to the doctor they would seem better. That is, until this weekend when the coughing turned into a deep chest cough and wouldn't stop!
It was pretty rough. They were so wore out from coughing, but couldn't sleep.
First thing Monday morning I took the kids to see the doctor. She told me that whooping cough was going around and it sounded like what the kids had. She only needed to test one of the kids to be sure. To test for whooping cough they have to swab up the nose. The nurse tried unsuccessfully the first time and the swab got kicked to the ground the second time. Lexie was not having it and Lance was getting pretty mad. The nurse left to get another nurse to help. When she tried to come back in Lance was pushing on the door and was determined not to let them in to hurt his sister. We all decided it would be best for me and Lance to step out then come in and "save" her after the swab was done.
We have had a pretty uneventful week just staying home. Each day the kids have gotten better and better though. I've made sure to keep them busy doing calmer things so they don't start coughing. We have played with play dough, painted,games, lots of coloring, Disney movies, loving on all the adorable puppies and momma has done lots of cleaning to keep germs away!
This week did have a couple highlights though. Sunday we needed out of the house so we took a ride to the farm to check on the game cam. We were super excited to find pictures of 3 different moose visiting!
Speaking of the farm, I dropped papers off at the title company on Monday. They are getting all the paperwork together and we should be signing papers by the end of the month!!!
Another exciting thing happened this week. My parents got iPhones and FaceTimed with the kids and me. They were pretty excited to see Lance & Lexie. The kids were also excited to see Papa & maw maw. 
MawMaw and Papa will be visiting the end of May for a couple weeks. Dad is going to help get things done with the house. We also have some fun trips planned like a train ride down to Denali and a fishing trip in Valdez for the guys while us girls take a wildlife tour.
Summer is coming! Our days are getting longer and the temperatures getting warmer!
Funny thoughts from the kids:
Lance said "humans only have 1,2 or 3 babies." So I said "do you know what it is called when you have 3? Triplets!" He says, "that means you have to sell one!"
While on the potty Lexie says to me "my butt is the poops home!" She's nuts!
Lance was helping me cook dinner and i was telling him to stir the food slowly so he wouldn't slosh food everywhere. He says to me "is that a rule in the Pampered Chef lady rule book?"
The kids had a cold this week and were a little congested. Lexie was picking her nose and said "I have sprinkles in my nose!" Wouldn't you know a princess has sprinkles not boogers.
Disney Land is on our vacation list for next summer. Momma is working very hard to earn an all expense trip for the 4 of us. Lance is definitely keeping me accountable. He wants to see the "princess castle" (mainly for sissy) and anything that has to do with cars. A little friend went there and didn't see Snow White. She told Lance that Snow White doesn't live there. It's pretty funny to listen to the conversations of little kids. They will be at the perfect age to remember the trip and enjoy every second. It will be ALL of our's first trip to Disney!!
