AAAA-CHOO!

That's what I've been doing about every 5 minutes the past couple of days.

I have a bad cold. I was soo glad that I hadn't gotten sick yet this winter with all the nasty stuff going around, but... I have now.

So far it has just been a bad cold, and kind of a low-grade fever. And I'm really tired. The tiredness is probably from the weekend too though.



Friday night Ellie and Kendra stayed here and we were up till 3ish.
Fun Times. :)
Oh, fyi we ate a whole bag of tortilla chips. :D

Saturday I took a nap and scrapbooked. That night I babysat Wyatt & Wade. I hope I didn't give anything to your boys, Nancy... but I was feeling fine then!

Sunday afternoon I looked like I had been crying all day I was such a mess. I took another nap and then we went to U. John & A. Jeanne's for pizza because Grandma is staying there for a while.

If you remember, Pray for Grandma because she is feeling very discouraged. She told us Sunday night that she's "just sick of all this!" She can hardly drink or eat and she just feels gross a lot.

I don't know about you, but this weather is really getting me down. I'm ready for a Sunny day! I don't care if it's cold... it's better than this rain and gloom.

I feel like I've gotten nothing accomplished yesterday and today. And I have so much to do! I hate colds....

Love you all,
Wenders

Random.. but funny.

So last night I was on my way to babysit when I got behind a very slow moving van with the flashers on.
I passed the van, and what I saw just made me laugh!

A mom was driving the van following her kids in one of those little battery-operated cars with their dad walking beside them. On Cruger Road in Eureka! Hahaha!

What parents do for their kids.

I'm not quite sure why I found it so funny...

:D

Down Memory Lane...

I totally didn't want to do my school tonight... so I found something else to do so that I could procrastinate a bit. :D I went thru Mom's old pictures and picked out some favs and scanned them onto the computer. :) So here ya go, guys.

Awesome Weekend!

Last week was I just dreading the weekend.
1. Because I had a violin recital
2. The Bible Class had a retreat that I honestly wasn't too excited about.

I had my recital Friday night. I messed up a lot... and sounded horrible. But at least it's over with! :)



I had to get up at 5:30 Saturday morning for the retreat. I'm not sure why I wasn't too excited about it...but I had a blast.

The retreat was in place of VBS in the summer and we had it at the Farmington Old School Center. I don't know if you've ever been there or not, but it's just an old school someone is fixing up that you can rent out.

Anyways, we had lots of bible study/lessons that were really good, lots of food, did a work project at Midwest Food Bank, played volleyball, and did skits. It was really quite fun.


Poor Karen... her allergies were a mess because of the mold in some of the rooms. She just carried a kleenex box around with her the whole time. :)
Me & Karen with our PJ's.

Jenna's group's skit was really amazing. Here's American Idol tryouts with Simon, Paula and Randy... and that's Emily trying out and singing "God Is Bigger Than The Boogie Man!" It was really funny.

I was an old granny in my skit. That was kinda fun to be. :)


I'm not really sure what to say. I think the word "Awesome" pretty much covers the whole weekend.

I'll post more pictures once someone either puts them on Facebook or gives me a CD. Otherwise, this is all I took. I should've taken more, but I was just too busy having fun. :)

Last night all the Schick's went to Uncle Scott & Aunt Dawn's for pizza before Katie's family left today.I was so glad she got to spend the night here... even if it was just one night. Love u Kate!

Hope you all have a great week! [I know I will.. I have 5 babysitting jobs!]

Laura Lou

I'm posting a random picture of Laura because I just LOVE how much faster this internet is! And I LOVE Laura Lou! :)

I bet were pretty much the last ppl in this world to finally get rid of dial-up! Thanks Dad... this was the greatest present ever! :)

Expect a lot more pictures from now on... :D

Birthday!

HAPPY 53rd BIRTHDAY, Aunt Sandy!

Hope you had a fabulous birthday! Love u!

(I'm still waiting for that picture in Bermuda! :)

FYI : We have fast internet now! I'm soo excited!! :D

My weekend was really good... but I sure didn't get much sleep.
Friday night I went Scrapbooking at Kendra's. I got 4 sides done... which isn't too bad for me. :) Kendra and I (Clayton, too..) watched Fireproof. It is such an amazing movie. I cried. I spent the night and we didn't get to bet till wayy to late.
I woke up early for some reason, and I heard Cliff asking his mom, "Can I wake Wendi up?" over and over again. He was my buddy the whole morning. It was pretty cute. :) There was a Scrapbooking workshop on Saturday, too. So I stayed till 3 and got tons done!

I came home and took a nap to get re-charged up before going to babysit for 2 adorable little boys, Wyatt and Wade.

Nancy, I just love your boys.....

I decided I had to take some pictures because I don't even have any of them! Terrible.. I know.

After babysitting Kendra and I had another night together. We went to her Grandparents because they're in Florida. We of course stayed up way too late(again) talking. My Uncle and Aunt served at church the next morning, so we had to get up extra early.

I made us scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast. So here we are... looking bright and cheery!

A terrible picture of us.... you can tell it's morning. :D

After church I had a practice to go to for my violin rectial.

So... not else is new with me.

I hope you all have a great day!

Shopping in Chicago

Oh, what a fun shopping day it was with Linds, Jamie and Jenna. We left around 8:30 for Woodfield. We all got some stuff, but not like tons or anything. We got home at 8:00 and went to Lindsay's and had pizza and a movie.

I laughed a lot...:) I think my favorite thing was when we stopped at McDonalds and Jamie wanted these Cinnamon roll things. She asked Lindsay, "can you order for me? cuz I can't say cinnamon." love ya girly! :)


Thanks so much Linds for a great day! Love u!
