house of horrors

our house has felt like a cesspool of germs the last 3 weeks.  if it's not one illness it's another.  brooks has had an ear infection, bronchitis and then the stomach bug (which was the worst by far).  my sweet little brooks is not so sweet when he's sick.  he's also very needy.  i'm talking epic needy.  it's not easy caring for a germ infested 4 year old while trying to keep your almost 2 month old away from all the germs.  sadly, even with all the lysol and clorox poor shelby caught a touch of the stomach bug.  poor little thing.  it was so hard for brooks to not be all over his baby sister, which he does in a half lovingly half i want to kind of squeeze you just a tad too hard way.  he kept asking if his germs were gone and could he touch the baby again.

and even with our best efforts to keep carson from catching anything, he ended up sick this week.  i thought i was going to loose my mind.  let's just say that a few bottles of wine have been consumed this last 3 weeks~once everyone was sound asleep, of course.  call it self medication for the mama.

even with the funk i still tried to get some pictures of all 3 together.  it's not easy and i have to realize that there is no way to get everyone looking, with open eyes and in focus at the same time.  it's just impossible.  i did get a few though that were acceptable.  i'm still trying to decide who ms. shelby cooper looks like.  some days i see brooks (she has his personality for sure!) but then some days i see carson (i should of known it was impossible to recreate his laid back personality).

who do you think she looks like?
