Turns out I had bronchitis, and I don't think it was bacterial as the antibiotics really didn't seem to help, but I DID enjoy the cough syrup with codeine!!
Once I started feeling better it was time to catch up on my daily tasks that had been woefully neglected... like my laundry... this is the pile of laundry Brad and I folded last night... phew!!
Life continued to march on even though I wasn't 100%...
Ethan was determined to learn how to crochet and actually did a really good job. I was very impressed.
I never thought he would have the patience, but here is one of his long chains he made.
Abby had a fun play date with Lily and we made this fun tent.
When I asked the kids how they liked their karate class the first day, all they could both say was "It burns!!" LOL!
Samantha and Elise also started their music lessons. Samantha is taking private flute and piano lessons, as well as learning the trombone at school. Elise is also taking piano lessons and starts her rock climbing class today. Abby is also taking swim class 2x/week.
Ethan asked us a few weeks ago if we would take him to a football game, so we looked up the Bend High School schedule and headed out for the game Friday night. Wouldn't you know it though, that one of the 5 times a year it rains in Bend was just after we got to the game! It only lasted about 5-10 minutes though, so we toughed it out. 
Ethan bought 50/50 tickets and was only 10 numbers away from winning!! We figured out that the guy who bought tickets just before the lady who bought before us was the winner. Bummer... so close!!
The "Lava Bears" really stunk, and lost 45-6, and the 6 were scored in the last minute. But it was a fun outing anyway. We'll have to go again!
This is just a fun picture of Abby eating her pie Sunday night in her "sleeping hat" 
I am feeling much better now, so stay tuned.... :-)

I am so happy you took a picture of her in that sleeping hat. It is the cutest thing ever! I wonder if you were at the same HS football game my dad and Ryan went to. Glad you're back!
I'm so glad you're feeling better! That laundry pile had me hyperventilating, I HATE folding laundry. I'm so glad your husband helped you, I can't imagine tackling that whole pile! Yikes! Welcome back! :)
Glad your back, that was quite a stint. I can't believe you have so many extra curricular activities going on... you must be nuts!
I hate folding laundry too...I have to do it in front of the tv otherwise I won't do it. Glad you are feeling better1 I love the pics. Ethan is HUGE!
Glad to hear that your feeling better, I can't get over the laundry picture, I just had to laugh. Football is a fun game but let me tell when you have a child plying you do get a little tired of always going to the games rain,snow,or shine!!!!
I love the videos of Ethan and Abby. Ethan is so intent, and Abby is so cute. Any member of the family can be sick, and things still run fairly smoothly, but when the mother gets sick, it is a different story. I imagine you had a lot of help from your family, though.
Poor Tracey. Glad you're feeling better. I love that picture of Abby in her hat. So sweet and adorable!
Sometimes I'm tempted to burn my laundry bonfire style when my piles get that big. Urgh! I'm like Gabi, the only way it gets done is when I'm watching tv at night when the kids are in bed!
Ben didn't inherit the laundry folding gene like Brad...you're lucky!
I'm trying to rejoin blogger land and leave a comment, but the site is arguing with me. Maybe it's been so long it doesn't recognize my name and password anymore.
Anyway, sorry you were under the weather. You guys are sure doing a lot of activities. That right there has got to be exhausting and then being sick on top of it. Sorry, hope you get all better soon.
