The Sickness Goes On

Well this has been a not so fun week of sickies - Monday morning started off bright and early with James throwing up in his bed.  However after that one bad incident, he really seemed to be feeling better.  Evie picked up the baton with a chesty cough that we finally managed to get rid of around Friday, however, on Friday, Dan took the girls out and Eileen threw up in the car on the way home.  She seemed to feel ok the next day, but Aaron took it up and threw up a few times on Saturday and in the evening, started complaining about his ear hurting.  He was running a high fever this morning, so Dan stayed home from church with him.  He slept most of the day, so hopefully he will feel ok tomorrow, but we are going to have to call the Doc.

The kids had Thursday and Friday off of school and I had planned on taking them somewhere fun, but as usual, any trips were conditional upon a clean play room and clean bedrooms - and since they didn't get any cleaning done, we didn't go anywhere - turns out that wasn't' such a bad thing considering the bugs we seemed to be carrying around - and I didn't mind since I wasn't feeling up to par either and was fine with hanging out at the house - the only downside is that 2 days stuck inside due to freezing weather can make kids rather stir crazy....

Friday, Dan took Eileen and Anna to a Daddy Daughter Dance at Grandpa's church.  They really had a great time (until the ride home where Eileen threw up) They got to dress up and hang out with their cousin Lucy and Uncle Stuart and Grandpa (and of course Daddy)  Grandpa even made them some corsages to wear on their wrists! 

Hopefully, the sickies will soon be behind us and we can get back to our regularly scheduled fun!
