What is my girlfriend's name again?

Anytime Wyatt plays with a girl he calls her his girlfriend.  He can never remember their names though so he is always asking me what his girlfriend's name is.  Keith and I took Wyatt to lunch the other day and Wyatt asked Keith if his mom was his girlfriend.  After Keith told him no he said, "Is your girlfriend the one that we went to her house?" Keith and I both looked a little shocked.  We finally figured out he was talking about Kelly, Keith's sister.  Wyatt and Keith helped her move.  Keith explained that mommy is his girlfriend.  It was a really funny conversation. 

Hallee has started putting clothes on (usually over her clothes) and asking to go to church.  She put Caitlyn's pajamas on and kept saying, "go church" and walking to the door.  I'm glad she likes church so much all of the sudden.

She added a shirt to her skirt here. 

I love when she carries her baby around.  I could just eat this girl up, she is so cute!

Jonah had his last soccer game while I was in California.  I was so disappointed about missing his game.  He ended up being sick and didn't get to play.  They went and watched and got Jonah's trophy, but he felt so crumby that he didn't even want to play.

He had a great season.  I know he is sad to see it end. 

A couple of days before I left Wyatt got a fever.  It was 103 for 12 hours.  I was getting really nervous when it finally broke.  He was sleeping on me when he just started sweating like crazy and then the fever was gone.  The next day he told me his throat hurt and I noticed white bumps in the back of his throat.  I thought it was strep throat so I took him into the doctor.  Turns out it was hand-foot-mouth.  The back of his mouth was covered in canker sores.  Poor kid, he would cry while he ate because it hurt him so bad.  The doctor told me that Hallee would probably get it the worst and Caitlyn and Jonah would get a very mild case if anything. Wyatt ended up getting the blisters on his hands, but no one else did.  Hallee woke up with a fever on the day I was leaving for California.  I had a melt down and was so worried about leaving.   I knew Keith would take good care of them and I made Keith promise me that he wouldn't do any cleaning or yard work and he would just take care of the kids.  I felt like the worst mom leaving my sick kids.  I was so relieved to hear that Hallee was already feeling better on Friday.  She had a fever for a day and she was done, she had the easiest time with it.  Jonah got the fever and felt sick on Friday.

Keith was great and took a lot of pictures for me.  Keith said this time was a lot easier than last time I left.  I think it was because he didn't try to get anything done and they just stayed home and played together.  They couldn't go to church, which I was really worried about for Keith, so it ended up being good for them to just stay home and play.  Jonah was sick with a fever for a couple of days and then they were all starting to feel better.  I am so grateful that they didn't get it worse.

Caitlyn worked hard on her Panda project over the weekend.  She even did a PowerPoint presentation on her own. I was really surprised that she could do that without help.  Caitlyn got sick on Monday.  I guess she got a fever at school and her teacher told her to call home.  She must of dialed the wrong number because she never called here.  I don't understand why they didn't call our other numbers so she could come home.  Jenna was in the class helping in the afternoon so Caitlyn called me from her cell phone and we were all taking a nap and I didn't even hear the phone.  I felt horrible when I found out she was sick!  I was so tired from the weekend that I slept right through the phone. 

Caitlyn and Jonah love to do art at Jonah's desk.  While I was gone last Friday Jenna didn't pick them up from school.  They walked down to meet her like they do when I pick them up and nobody came.  Luckily, I had told them that they have to stop at the corner because after that they would be on a busy street.  Katelyn Serr and Jonah wanted to keep going, but luckily Caitlyn talked them into going back to the school to call someone.  Caitlyn told me that they said a prayer and sang "I am a Child of God" and they felt like they needed to go back.  They called Keith and he had to wake Hallee up and go get them.  By they time he got there Jenna was there, I guess she got stuck at school and was running really late.  I'm so glad that Caitlyn helped them do the right thing!

The kids did a Family Home Evening lesson for Keith.  They showed me when I got home.  It was a lesson on Obedience and they did a great job.  They built the stand behind them out of the big blocks. 

I didn't get home until late Sunday night so I didn't see the kids until Monday morning. Jonah had a melt down Monday morning and was crying and didn't want to go to school.  I dropped Caitlyn off and kept him home.  I just held him for a while and let him cry and we talked about what we would do together after school and after an hour he was fine and ready to go to school.  Poor kid, he has a hard time with me leaving.  I am so glad to be home and that everything was okay while I was gone.
