"Confinement to one's home or another specified location instead of incarceration in a jail or prison."
I have been on house arrest for the last few weeks. Not because of any crime I have committed, but because my kiddos and I have been sick WAY TOO LONG, the mosquitos are more insane than I could have ever imagined, and my hubby has been working 100+ hours a week.
Some highlights...
*Less wash because we stayed in our jammies all day almost every day.
*Saved money on groceries because no one had much of an appetite.
*Bought a $10 pool for hours of entertainment in the front yard. (But probably used $20 of bug spray.)
Tavin & Kirra, and their friends, Elisa & Lydia.
*Celebrated my birthday and Mother's Day in our jammies.
*Watched a few thunderstorms. I've never seen rain come down so hard in my life! It's AMaZiNG!
That's our life in a nutshell these days. Pretty exciting!

How do you do it with Brett working so much?! You are a saint. It is hard. Hope you got a day on Sunday with Brett around and of no diapers, no cleaning messes, no feeding kiddos, and no diapers or wiping bums! Hang in there.
yikes! hope you all get better soon!!!
Oh no, I'm sorry to hear about your house arrest. 100 plus hours a week for your hubby too, that is tough.
Hope you're all better soon!
And my ringless finger that you mentioned... that's my right hand!! And I actually ALWAYS wear another ring that Jake gave me on that hand, and for some reason I did not have it on that night. But my wedding ring was on, just not the hand you were looking at. :)
SO SORRY that you and your family have been so sick. Love that you pointed out the positives of the whole bit and not the negatives :) Happy Birthday by the way :)
Hope you are all feeling better very soon!
so sorry you were sick... it's like walking out of a cave when you start to get back into the swing of things... you're amazing! and what fetchin' cute kids you have!
SO glad to see and hear that you are alive! Loved the pics... great proof of life! Just kidding! Sorry to hear you were all sick, but it looks like you're all on the mend. You have an adorable family!
Oh man, have you guys recovered yet? We've missed you! We saw Tavin and Kira at the pool with Brett and I wished you were there too! I hope your feeling strong and healthy soon!
Oh man! Hang in there! At least you're able to recognize the bright side of things!
My pooor pooorrr Melissa!!!! I hope you guys are feeling better soon :( Is it bad that Brody and I stay in our pj's any day that we are not going anywhere!? I just don't see what the point of getting ready is if I'm staying home! :) lol. Miss you!
Happy late birthday Melissa! I'm sorry you had to spend it not feeling so great. Hope you and the kiddies feel better soon! Are there really mosquitos out durning the day there?! We get them badly at night and I can't stand them.
Well you still look great in those pics for being sick lol! And so do your kids, they are adorable.
Wish I was closer to help you....but I must say your post to your blog made me laugh!
Cutest grand babies ever....even when they are sick!
LOVE YOU ALL!
that sounds miserable... the being sick part... but nice pool funa nd saving money! lol
hope youre all better soon and stop getting bit!
Hope the sickness is all gone and...is a month too late to wish you a happy birthday? I hope you were able to find some happiness amidst the sickness. Nothing a $10 pool can't fix. Ours finally broke after it turned into an ice pond from the late winter-like weather we had here. My kids then tried to get the slip-n-slide out on Friday. That had been thrown away too. In a moment of desperation, I said "the church sprinklers are on." Sure enough, I look back to see my kids running through the sprinklers at the church behind us. I had to laugh but does that make me a bad mom? Nope, just desperate in the moment. Way to go for finding the positive (money saving, less laundry, inexpensive pool, unfortunate bugs) in the middle of a not so fun run of sickness!
