No pictures but still a lively update

Camera status: still broken from a lively shove off of the top of the stairs by a child who shall not be named....who rhymes with Meth.
Alright an update for you....(who am I kidding with my sparse and sporadic posts I fear my audience are few and hard to come by)...so an update for posterity.
2 weeks ago we were all miserable around here. All of us were sick at the same time. And not just "cough, sneeze, snot coming out of your nose, but still go to church and pretend your not sick" sick. I am talking about miserable sick. Jaq's eyes were goopying out horrid amounts of...what only can be known as "gunk." To the point that she would literally scare Seth and I when she'd wake up first thing in the morning cause her one eye would be half glued shut like Quazimoto and the rest of her looked like she'd gotten in a terrible fight with some sandpaper-like tissue. Poor girl. To top it all off I we think she has some sort of problem digesting whole milk cause she'd be up 2-3 hours a night with really bad stomach pains until we stopped giving her the stuff...and finally when we'd get her to sleep, Seth's hacking cough would wake him up to delight us with a mid-night (rather early EARLY morning) rendition of 20 questions...only they werent questions....more like demands. Yes, 20 demands. I need a drink. I need medicine. I need to go to the hospital (which we finally had to tell him that unless your DYING you cant go to the hospital....but that was dumb cause soon he was now "dying"). I need to watch Super Why, I need to pee, I need to sleep in your bed...the list goes on. Dont you love the age when everything becomes, "but I NEED that?" Well anyways on top of miserable sick kids, both Cordelle and I got some weird flu bug and were achy and tired and cranky and tired and tired.....and...yes well you get the point. Lucky for me we tag teamed for about 4-5 days naps, sleeps, rotating movies for Seth (who after a couple of days miraculously recovered and became ULTRA SUPER SETH with incredible amounts of energy and enthusiasm and spunk and he wouldnt stop humming, or singing, or running, or bouncing, or jumping or yelling). In retrospect I suppose he was normal and it was I who was over-proportionalizing (totally not a word) things to a whole new level because of the previously mentioned lack of sleep and illness.
Alright needless to say, we recovered and got better (how redundant). And we have pretty much done nothing UNTIL Saturday. Okay, this is one of those days you really want a camera. Go figure. We went into town (how "Little House on the Prarie" huh?) for Cedar City's annual pumpkin festival. We just missed the sheep parade so we were bumbed about that. What? Never heard of a sheep parade? Get this. Its a parade full of tractors and farmers and then a grand finale of hundreds of sheep walking down the street from the mountain. I'd be more specific, but we WERENT there. But truly disappointed to miss such a spectacle. But the pumpkin festival was so fun...IF I was to have a kid who liked that kind of thing. No, it was really cute, but Seth is so painfully shy that getting him to play any kind of game is torture. He did decorate a cookie, paint a pumpkingand go down the blow up slides so I guess it wasnt a complete failure. And then what to our astonishing surprise? Another parade had begun. So we stayed and watched SUU's homecoming parade. Glad I'm out of college.
Then that evening we met up with some friends from the first apartment we lived in as a married couple. We all are oldies now with kids and morgages....but it was fun to see everyone all into real life and such.
We topped our day off with watching the BYU vs. TCU game which we had THANKFULLY recorded while we were out partying. "Thankfully" not because it was a game of epic proportions that I want to one day pass on to my children and my children's children, but "thankfully" because if I had to watch that onslaught of a game with all the commercials, TCU touchdowns and real time BYU beating I would have withdrawn shamelessly into my couch and simply waved a white (and blue) flag of surrender.
Well thats us for now. Hopefully I'll find a camera to use before this weekend (Halloween) otherwise I'll be posting VERY amateur drawings of my kids' costumes on the blog.
