A sick boy and the past couple of weeks

This is the sick little guy that I have at my house today. Evan has been sick since sunday afternoon with a fever and cough. Poor little guy. He slept most of the day yesterday. He is somewhat better today but has a ways to go yet.

And talk about kicking ya when you are down. Liam saw an opportunity to snatch his soother and took it. He's pretty proud of himself too! You can see the soother in his hand at the edge of the picture.

Poor guy!! I've spent the better part of the day so far just keeping Dylan and Liam from torturing Evan. I was kind of freaking out at first. I wasn't sure how I was going to handle all 4 kids when one of them needed so much of my one on one attention. And what if the rest of them got that needy!? AAHH. It has turned out not too bad. Dylan is coughing but is still basically himself. Liam is being great. He's usually really wanting attention but today he is just playing on his own. Well, except for the soother stealing thing! Here are a few more pictures from the past couple of weeks that I wanted to share. Have a look. I'm off to find and destroy germs!

Liam loves to stand on his head. He does this all the time.

Here's some shots of my smiley kids.

We decided to bath the 3 babies together and see what would happen. Oh my goodness, what chaos! It was hilarious but crazy. Dylan kept standing up. When they weren't all splashing water all over the place (and all over us), they were slipping and sliding all over each other. Thankfully we did this when both Justin and I were there. It didn't last very long. We figured that they were close to drowning each other. But they had some fun!

They are here. They are really really here!!!

It was a cool day. Almost too cold. The kind of cold that makes you rethink your very existence.... Boy. I am waaaay to tired for that. So I will give you the un-dramatic version. So, we are getting bombarded with requests for an update and pictures. So I will oblige and provide you with all the gory details. Actually, there are no gory details. In what can only be described as an amazing answer to many prayers, the new Mooney babies were brought into this world with no problems what so ever. We entered the hospital at 10:00 in the morning and were taken to the surgery room around 12:00 noon. At exactly 12:38, the first baby, Dylan Michael was born weighing in at 6 pounds even. Then, also at 12:38, Evan Timothy also charged into the world weighing in at 5.2 pounds. Then, at 12:39 Liam David was born weighing 4.8 pounds. For those of you good at math, that is a whopping 16 pounds worth of babies. 16 POUNDS!!! And even though them just being born at 36 weeks and 5 days isn...

Did you know?

So, did you know that exercising regularly can help you have more energy!? Okay, so did I. And did you know that eating healthily also helps with that? As does going to bed at a decent time at night? I guess we all know that but I haven't been good at acting like I know that. I was getting frustrated. I was just so tired in the evenings. I wasn't having the kind of quality time with my kids or my husband that I wanted. I didn't feel like going out with friends in the evening. I was okay during the day but that's not when I am with my people, for the most part anyway. Sometimes, I would fall asleep on the couch before my kids bedtime!! If I wasn't asleep, I was lethargic and unmotivated. Just not the me that I wanted to be. It doesn't sound like much, but I just couldn't stand wanting to be intentional but not having the energy to do the things that mattered to me. And my kids are 9,9,9 and 11. That's old enough that I can't use the...

And the final answer is....

Well, thank you all for your guesses. I found them interesting. I had one person guess 4 babies. I don't let him come to our blog anymore.
