Who said 11 year olds were logical?

Today I was taking Zan to the library and mentioned that it was getting warm. He agreed and said he was glad because he was cold. Being a mother, I suggested that he wear a coat if he was cold. His reply? "Only my arms are cold"

ummm...and where exactly do you think you wear a coat? Your feet???

Sickness...

This weekend all the boys decided to get sick. Will got sick originally on Thursday. Basically the stomach flu. Zan caught the bug Sunday morning. Quinn has something totally different. Saturday night he got a horrible cough and the on-call doctor said he has Croup. Poor little guy was up most of the night (and so was mommy.) Luckily Joe was home most of Sunday, so I was able to get some naps in between Quinn nursing. Joe had to leave for a training around 3, so hopefully Quinn has a better night tonight. Will is almost better now, but Zan is still in the beginnings of the illness. Will's lasted 4+ days, so I don't expect Zan to get totally better until Wednesday or Thursday. The doctor said Quinn should be better in about 5 days. Today Quinn also seemed like something else was wrong, so I might go into the doctor tomorrow to see if he has an ear infection or something. Better safe than sorry.
