(Updated to add: the panic in my voice was because Kate was about to sink her teeth in Adam's back!)
We are on the mend. Some of us a bit faster than others. Please forgive my voice in this video - along with the puking sessions, I seem to have misplaced my voice as well. V attractive. You will also notice how Kate mentions the medicine up the bum bit a few times. She is not at all impressed with those pain suppositories. I suppose I wouldn't be either. Oh, and apologies about the abrupt end. We had a slight disagreement of sorts. It didn't end well.
we dont use "up the bum" medicine here in UK routinely, so that is really quite funny to hear about ;-)
they are so cute - and good healthy squabbling too!! Glad to hear you are both on the mend

Oh how sweet are they - even down to the brawl at the end. I think your voices all sound great, but I hope you feel better soon. Being a mommy + being sick = hellish.
Posted by: Katie | 16 July 2008 at 09:40 PM
That made me laugh out loud! Your children are delicious.
Posted by: Meg | 16 July 2008 at 10:04 PM
I absolutely LOVE the ending, hahaha. Not laughing AT you, you know...just nice to see the stuff that happens at my house happening elsewhere as well!
Posted by: Judy | 16 July 2008 at 10:20 PM
That totally made me laugh out loud! I just love the way ya'll talk!
:)
Posted by: Nicole | 16 July 2008 at 10:27 PM
I'm sure it was quite disagreeable, but your spat at the end made me laugh! Everyone looks very healthy, and I am glad to see it. Hope you feel better soon!

Oh, Bond Girl, I musn't let my husband hear your lovely voice in this video, it will ruin Bond Girl fantasies for him for good - you sound so exactly like his sweet 83 year old British grandmother. Seriously. But so glad you're on the mend :)
Posted by: Dana | 16 July 2008 at 11:12 PM
Hysterical! "Would you like some medicine up your bum"? Adam and Kate are priceless and you still sound gorgeous and divine.
Posted by: karla | 16 July 2008 at 11:21 PM
OMG, you so DON'T yell. You sound so patient with the kids.
Posted by: thrice | 16 July 2008 at 11:27 PM
The 'No, I was at school' sounded like an 'I don't want the punishment (suppository) as it wasn't me who did it, I was at school'. What a bunch of characters in your house.
Posted by: Kim | 16 July 2008 at 11:34 PM
Yup, "I was at school. That's where I am going again if I hear another word about medicine up a bumm." Heh.
Glad you guys are all feeling better.
Posted by: JuliaKB | 16 July 2008 at 11:47 PM
That is the best! from the beginning to the end...I LOVED IT!
Posted by: Amber | 17 July 2008 at 12:40 AM
OMG! The still pics don't do justice in showing me how BIG they've gotten. They talk! In full sentences! (Well, I knew they talked but... you know.)
I'm glad to see she's almost back to her usual self. The fighting was my favorite part. That's proof that she's getting better! I would pay big money to see what happened after you turned the camera off, lol.
Your voice? SEXY! I say you keep it. :)
Posted by: Dani | 17 July 2008 at 01:29 AM
This is a familiar brawl although at my house it would be my 2 younger boys and they'd be buck naked. I just want to yell "Spartan!!!" at the top of my lungs every time I witness it. Ack.
Posted by: mrsmetaphor | 17 July 2008 at 02:46 AM
Glad to see that you are both mending so quickly! And the whole "up the bum" thing is SO funny. I love your beautiful accents! They sound so sophisticated! Since I am from the southeast U.S. I have a heavy southern accent, which usually earns me strange looks whenever I travel outside of the south!
Posted by: Rachel | 17 July 2008 at 03:30 AM
OMG If I move to S. Africa will my children have those darling accents too??? SOOOOO CUTE!!! :-D
Good lord. Might be the only thing cuter than a British accent in the whole wide world.
Posted by: Megan | 17 July 2008 at 04:29 AM
More videos with your voice, please!
Posted by: Amy Beth @ Ministry So Fabulous! | 17 July 2008 at 04:44 AM
um, kate is DEFINITELY on the mend. she was all, "adam, i love you darling, but this video is about me. all the videos are about me. you're my brother, no one gives a stink about you."
it's okay adam, you're a good boy, stay in school pal.
tertia, oh lovey, even now you sound lovely and gorgeous and beautiful.
Posted by: zeghsy | 17 July 2008 at 05:06 AM
Bwahahahaaaaaaaa. Looks like an ordinary day at my house. Including the up your bum stuff. Glad Kate is ok. V attractive voice, btw.

while I know u rnt the praying type, my sister just gave birth to my nephew at 24 weeks gestation three days ago. 1 pound 2 oz. as i type, they are in route, in the air from denver to chicago. baby is not breathing well at all... color got crappy before my sister, coincidentally name Julie, had to turn her phone off to get on the plane.
If you don't pray, please do whatever you do to... idk... i'm just a fuckin mess. but i figured if anyone would understand it would be julie and tertia.

Great video. Classic.
Posted by: sweetbaptist | 17 July 2008 at 11:09 AM
Ha Ha - laughed so hard at the ending!!!!!!!!!!! Hilarious!! Do tell what happened?? The panic in your voice was clearly audible... although it could have been that whole,fake, sexy - I-lost-my-voice act going on.......
Posted by: kirstyphysio | 17 July 2008 at 11:24 AM
mwhhhhhhhhahahahahaha you sound very old yet strangely sexy with that voice! Kate is very funny... never knew SA accents would draw so much attention! hope you feel better soon!
Posted by: Stef | 17 July 2008 at 11:27 AM
Adam looks so sweet without teeth! But that Kate - she's going to be a force to be reckoned with!! :)
Posted by: Wobs | 17 July 2008 at 12:52 PM
the ending scared me, everyone alright? wth happened???
Posted by: paz | 17 July 2008 at 01:30 PM
I love the ending. Hey, what was Kate's surgery? Could another reader enlighten me? I read this blog every day, I thought I was following it pretty closely, then all of a sudden Kate ahd surgery and I was all, "what happened?"
Posted by: victoria | 17 July 2008 at 01:58 PM
Is it wrong that I thought the fight at the end cos Adam was stealing Kates limelight was rather amusing?? Hope all is ok though, you sounded quite anxious towards the end??
Posted by: SCY | 17 July 2008 at 02:24 PM
So funny! I love your accent - not an accent to you - but to us over here in America! It's so calming! Your kids are adorable!
Posted by: Lynn | 17 July 2008 at 02:56 PM
Oh my gosh, that is hilarious.... they are adorable! So glad ya'll are both on the mend. As for the medicine up the bum, who could blame her? Ick!
Posted by: Kahla | 17 July 2008 at 05:08 PM
YAY! I love video posts - I'll have to wait until I get off work & watch it then.

Ahhh...sibling rivalry. They'll be such great friends when they grow up...if they make it past childhood.

Posted by: Isabel | 17 July 2008 at 09:22 PM

Posted by: Alicia | 18 July 2008 at 12:40 PM
I do so love the videos; please do post them more often. Those two little characters are heart stealers and The ending was so funny! Glad you guys are all on the mend.
Posted by: Janet | 20 July 2008 at 07:43 PM
I love the accents! And yanno, the video ends with a crunching noise. Does that mean Kate managed to bite? ;-)
