"I love you" and "Congratulations!"

I thought this was appropriate with Valentine's Day quickly approaching. Jonah enjoys saying, "I love you Mommy." It's just one of those automated responses that he says when he has nothing else to say. The best is when he's sitting on the toilet, doing his poo-poos (sorry for the distasteful image now in your heads) and I hear from the other room Jonah at the top of his lungs...."I LOVE YOU MOMMY." I love you too Jonah.

So this morning while eating breakfast out comes "Mommy, I love you" from Jonah. "I love you too, Jonah." Ellie followed up in her sick, croupy voice, "Do you wuv me, mommy?" "Yes, Ellie I love you." And then Ellie as excited as can be, "She wuvs me!"

And I really don't know where this came from, but a bit later Jonah said, "Congratulations!"
"Congratulations for what, Jonah?"
"Congratulations for breakfast." (like, duh mom)
"Oh...er, thanks."

Here are some pictures of us sick, quarantined in our house this week...

We borrowed a few princess movies from Grandma for Ellie while she was sick. You could pretty much find the kids in this position all week long.

This is Jonah taking a picture of Ellie and me being sick together. And yes, I am brave for posting this no make-up, hair-not-done-in-a-week picture.

Char's got it too now :(
