Hooray!!!!! I can officially say the Burgess Family has finally gotten rid of the sickness that has been going around this house for weeks! Boy o boy was that rough. I hope this means with spring right around the corner we will be in the clear for awhile. Now, with all that said, we have been having some fun now that we are all healthy again.
Wednesday morning the kids and I had our good friends Jess, Abby and Isaac over for a play day. We usually get together with them once a week, but with all our sickness’s going around we haven’t seen them in weeks! Okay, so think back to a couple weeks ago when I mentioned in a blog post that Autumn and I had made some Kooky Clay while Owen was at school. Well, we FINALLY got around to painting all the figurines we made. The kids seemed to really enjoy themselves.
After painting the kids did a little playing with beads and pipe cleaners. They each made up their own thing to do with them.

And here are Abby & Isaac’s Final Products!
It was a very very successful play day. All four kids got along great and there was not one single meltdown. Not one! Between 4 kids I have to say that is amazing! Owen and Abby spent a lot of time upstairs playing in Owen’s room together while Isaac & Autumn stayed at the bottom of the stairs holding the gate yelling for their older siblings. Haha. It was pretty funny! At the end of the play day Abby asked Owen if she could have a hug goodbye. He gave her a hug and she said, “Bye Owen. I love you so so so so much.” After that she grabbed his face with both hands and gave him a huge kiss on the lips. Priceless! After that Owen looked at her and said, “I love you too Abby.” These two are too adorable and each others longest friends. I am so thankful for amazing friends!
So after play day the kids had lunch and went down for their afternoon naps. My sister came over right once I laid them down because Wednesday is my new day to watch Abigail. She dropped her off and Abi and I had some fun one on one time while my kids were napping. She was being so silly and I really cherished that special time between the two of us. When my kids got up I decided to try and get a cute picture of the three cousins. Let’s just say it didn’t go very well. Haha
Here is how it started. Abi wasn’t too pleased with this idea.
Then right when I ‘d get one kids attention, the other two would lost interest.
And just when I think I got it…
I lost them again. Haha.
As for Daddy’s days off this week the kids really had some one on one fun with Daddy. Guess they were trying to make up for lost time since they were both sick the last two weeks.
Bubble Fun while Owen was at school.
Love this picture!
And after Sister went to bed, Daddy and Owen busted out his sweet Hot Wheels Track that shoots cars through rings of fire! Of course, Owen was very specific which cars were able to go on the track. He is so particular!
Brandon has been receiving lots of Birthday packages in the mail from all the family we were supposed to see up in Colorado for his “Surprise” 30th Birthday Party. Thank you so much everyone for all the very generous Gifts you have been sending. Daddy has had some very good helpers opening up his packages…
Here is Brandon opening up a gift from Aunt Rose. You can always expect exquisitely wrapped gifts from Aunt Rose!
Owen had no problem helping Daddy out!
You did GREAT Aunt Rose. Brandon’s face says it all. He has been wanting an Authentic Tom Jackson Throwback Jersey FOREVER! You honestly made his Day!!! Thank you!
Haha. Silly Boys!
And here is Daddy and Autumn working on a gift Mimi sent. Another book for him to get started on. A book all about Tebow! Yay! You sure know your son.
Autumn worked very hard opening this up all by herself. She was so proud when all the paper was finally off. She is one determined little girl!
Mimi, you are way too generous. And you have amazing taste!
Check it out. These are the nicest Cuff Links and Tie Clips Brandon owns. So classy!
Even Autumn Approved!
Well, that about sums up our week. Just so thankful we are all finally recovered, happy and healthy! Looking forward to a relaxing weekend and finally being able to go back to church after missing two weeks in a row!!!
