On Sunday we went to the Estes House (Jake and Christie) to celebrate Aspen Estes 11th birthday.  It was a lot of fun and also a little strange.  As soon as we got there I spilled taco soup on the floor, and after that got cleaned up.  Isaiah and Jake sawed a hole in one of the walls, to give them more room.  We decided to interrupt that to eat and then we opened presents.  The men then proceeded to cut that one little hole in to a bigger hole since they would need to it make it more room.  So I guess it was a construction birthday family party. lol...  We are definitely a peculiar family.  But you can't say we don't get stuff done.

     Later that night I woke up to Jade freaking out in bed.  She was hot.  We did fever duty all night, i took the first half and Isaiah took to the last half.  She stayed home from school, and did nothing but lay down and sleep or watch t.v. She didn't want to move at all, and didn't feel much like eating.  Luckily she's older and knows what her body needs, so she drank enough water that I didn't have to worry about her staying hydrated. It was really weird though she didn't really have any other symptoms, She said her throat hurt, but that seemed like it came from the fever drying her out.  Who knows, anyway she's stayed home from school today and yesterday, but I think she's feeling better today.  

     It's getting colder, Last night Isaiah came home from his basketball game and said there was frost on the ground.  So we doubled up our blankets and made sure we stocked the fire before bed.
