Rich People!?

I’m cleaning up dinner yesterday and Nikolas, who is supposed to be finishing his homework, comes out of his room with a blanket draped over his shoulders and announces, "Look at me! I am a rich person!" Okay! I think. He starts strutting around the living room. "How do you know rich people dress like …

Sick Again!

Well, at least Ammon is. He has strep throat and an ear infection! Poor guy! He has been quarantined to my room to watch t.v. and eat Popsicles. What a life! He is actually doing really good though. Hopefully he will be back to school tomorrow. Which leads me to the real reason for this …
