What a weekend!

Saturday morning the kids and I got up early and went to Walmart for a doughnut run :) We also bought a sled and we had big plans to go sledding when Roy woke up. I woke Roy up around 8:30 and while I was in bed talking to him I moved the wrong way and hurt my neck. I could barely move it. But we had promised the kids we'd take them sledding and it was a warm day and the snow was melting fast! So I took some medicine and felt better and we got out the door as fast as we could so there would still be some snow to sled on! There were a few other people at the park sledding. It was nice and warm and sunny - perfect day to be outside. The kids had a blast sledding, even though they didn't go very fast and the hills weren't very steep or long. But it was perfect for small kids. Roy and I even had a couple of good runs. Then we went to the playground and played there for a while and tried to build a snowman. By the time we left most of the snow was gone! Then, later in the day after Blaise's nap we went outside to get the mail and there was hardly even a trace of snow. We rode bikes and played outside for a while - it was great!









Blaise was acting a little funny all day. Just being unusually grumpy and moody. I kept commenting that maybe he was getting sick or something. Well, that night he hardly ate any dinner and then threw up in the bath. Ugh. We put Rae to bed and got Blaise settled on the couch with some towels and a bowl. Roy went to return a video and while he was gone Blaise threw up again and then Rae threw up in her bed. So we got both kids settled on the couch with towels and bowls.


We let them watch some cartoons for a while and then put them back to bed. I called someone to sub primary for us and I went to bed too because my neck was killing me. Roy always stays up till 1 or 2 in the morning, so he took the night shift. He was so nice to let me sleep all night. The kids both woke up and threw up several times in the night but I slept through it all! I finally woke up around 2 to go to the bathroom and Roy went to bed. Blaise was asleep on the couch and Rae was in her bed. I sat with Blaise on the couch for a while until I was pretty sure he didn't have anything left to throw up. I put him in his bed and I went back to bed and we all slept peacefully till 6. In the morning both kids were so thirsty and hungry, but everything they ate and drank came right up. So we spent a weak, grumpy morning on the couch. My neck was bothering me all day. Both kids took a nap in the afternoon and I slept on the couch for a while. Roy took a nap later in the afternoon but then I started feeling really weak and sick. I never threw up or anything but I felt yucky all night. Rae threw up one more time in the late afternoon but there hasn't been any puke since then - yay! Both kids slept really well last night and are in good moods this morning. They haven't really had anything to eat this morning, just a little bit of juice. They are in the bath right now getting all the puke smell off of them. I'm anxious to get my house cleaned up and get things back to normal, but I want to make sure I don't hurt my neck again. I'm so glad this all happened on the weekend when Roy was here to help out. And I hope he doesn't get what the kids had! We haven't been sick like this in a long, long, long time! I hope it's a long time before we get it again!

Saturday night - you can see the clock in the background. It's 11:15 and there are some crazy cartoons on at that time of night.

Sunday afternoon. Rae had just fallen asleep and I was starting to feel yucky.
