So last night at 7:00, I was fine.

By 8:30, my nose was running and my throat was starting to hurt.  And I had a rough night as a result (as well as checking on Erin who was whimpering in her sleep).  So yeah…I’ve caught Erin’s cold.  Alex hasn’t yet, but I suppose it’s just a matter of time now…with both of us breathing on him!

Other than that, the day was actually quite productive.  Eric came home at 1:30 in the afternoon.  He’d worked his 80 hours (pay periods end on Thursday) and doesn’t get overtime.  So he decided to just take the rest of the day off! And it was fun to hang out with him for a bit.  And I got to run a bunch of little errands that are just easier to do without babies.  So nice!

We grilled out for dinner.  And then played with babies, put them to bed, and watched clips from Tim Hawkins, a very funny, clean comedian.  If you have a minute, watch his clips on Chick-fil-A and Fast Foods in the “Videos” section.  We laughed a lot!

Our weekend is looking pretty good, too.  My MIL just called and asked if they could come out tonight to watch babies while we have a date night.  Um…YES!  So they’ll be out later in the afternoon.  And Eric is taking engagement pictures for Kimberly tomorrow morning.  That should be fun, too.

And in some sad news…Reading Rainbow is ending its 26-year run on PBS.  Honestly, I didn’t realize it was still being made, but it was outlasted only by Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers.  And I used to like hearing about all the different books.  Apparently, shows about books that kids might love to read are giving way to shows that try to teach phonics skills because, and this is even more sad, too many kids don’t have the basic skills to be able to read the books that RR recommended to them.  I’m so glad my sister is teaching little kids how to read!!

Other than that, I don’t have much to say, I guess.  I’ll be doing some baby laundry today.  Nothing too exciting.  But it’s Friday.  Yay!  So…Happy weekend!
