45 weeks: The flu hits our house

We got the flu this week. Andy brought it home and was sick in bed for 4 days. Then I caught it and was very sick too. Then Ruby got the fever and the boys had runny noses, but thankfully they didn't get it very bad at all. They all got the flu shot, so maybe that's why. We're all going to get it next year for sure. This year's flu was nasty. Miles also has his top two molars coming in, so he has been fussy and wanting to chew on everything, poor guy. I started giving him little bites of our food at dinner on his tray and he LOVES it. He really likes to see how things work, like Reid does. Miles will take a ball and throw it for himself, then chase it. It's the funniest thing!
 He's just so cute.
Holding hands in the car while we ran errands. It's nice having car seats in our Accord so we can take two of the kids if needed. 
 The kids have been playing with Aylah the neighbor. Reid is fishing back there with a broom. Haha!
 This is generally how baths go. Reid doesn't love them. :(
 Ruby got her first love note at school! It was from Silas R, whom we haven't met. Hopefully he's a good kid...
 Oh Reid...
 I just love her. She's so cute.
 Movie time...
 ....and jammie day. This was one of the days when Andy was sick. Ruby didn't have school on Thursday and Friday so we had to get creative.
 The kids played restaurant and made food for Miles and I.
 How cute are they.
 My dining buddy.
 That's cobb salad in the bowl and lemonade in the pitcher. :)
 Reading to Samantha and Reid.
 The girls got all dressed up. Apparently it was Samantha's birthday. Ruby even wrapped her a present.
 I took the kids to the park for some fresh air.
 Miles loves to swing.
 They drove us home.
 He's seriously getting into everything, we have to watch him like a hawk. Kind of like Ru was as a baby.
 Reid was super into the lacing cards one day and did them all.
 Playing outside with Aylah.
 And this is how we watch the Great British Baking Show.
 On Sunday we were too sick for church, so we did Sunday School at home. This is the story of the man they lowered to Jesus out of Lego guys.
 We cut a hole in the roof...
 ...made a mat...
 ...and lowered him down. Well, it was a girl.
 Ruby wrote us a note.
Miles liked the box with the hole too.
On Sunday I started getting sick, and was sick from Mon-Weds. Ruby got the fever on Weds-Friday. I'm so glad we're better now though.
