Flowers and bugs...

Well, Friday I finally broke down and planted flowers in our front pots after a good friend commented how empty they were looking (you know who you are - hahaha). I thought it would be a fun thing to do with Molly, but she was far more interested in poking at the pill bugs (a.k.a. roley poleys) and getting them to curl into a ball. She did however pick out the flowers for the pots and enjoyed watering them when we were done!


Planting flowers was my way of trying to enjoy being stuck at home considering all three kids are now fighting a chest cold. And it is indeed only a chest cold as I was informed by their pediatrician after visiting with her in a panic convinced that Paige had bronchitis or the croup or something equally nasty. But it's just a viral bug. The fun part of seeing the pediatrician was that I got some weights for the babies. At 3.5 months old, Paige weighs 15 lbs 9 oz and Garrett weighs a whopping 17 lbs 12 oz. Both kids are pretty much off the growth curve for their age. What can I say... we make big babies...
