On the mend

Butterbean woke up this morning still quite sick. She had a bad headache and tummy ache and laid around moaning. When I told her she would have to miss school again today she said, "That is OK. Other kids miss school too." I thought she would be disappointed but she wasn't. After she had a nap later she woke up feeling a ton better. She even wanted to go on a bike ride. She still had the Ice Pack on her forehead for her headache. It was cute. She was worn out as she walked her bike around the block most of the way. She said it was too hard to ride it.Butterball was wearing my pink weeding gloves to ride the bike today. He didn't want me to take his picture so he was mad.

Sickos

My two older kids got the stomach flu. Worst one I have ever seen. Poor Butterball got it first. She always does. She ended up throwing up 26 times. Poor thing. She finally stopped at 4 am so I finally was able to get to sleep. Then as luck would have it Butterball started throwing up at 4:20 am. He included diarrhea in the mix. His first accident he cried, "I just can't do this! I am so sorry Mommy." So sad.

This is the lovely pile of laundry that I had waiting for me. And that is minus 3 batches I had already done in the night. And honestly they hit the bowl or toilet more than not so I am glad for that at least.So far this smiley guy has not got it yet. Butterball was furious with me when I told him he could not touch Appleseed. He loves him so much.Butterball actually got up in the morning, threw-up and then wanted to go back to bed. Now that is sick.I let them veg and watch TV today.
Hugging the toilet. He was too tired to stand. In the night I had checked on Butterbean and asked if she needed to throw up. She said she was fine and went back to sleep. Upon closer inspection she had already thrown up and was laying in it. She was so cute.

The patient and home repairs?

My poor Butterbean is sick and bored to death as I have quarantined her in her room. I set up the portable DVD player for her so she would have something to do. I just don't want to take a chance of Appleseed getting sick because then we would have to procrastinate his surgery that he is supposed to have on Monday. I feel bad for her as I have never done this when they are sick. Poor thing. She is super mad at me today about it. If I could I would just take Appleseed to a hotel for the weekend and leave the others at home with their Dad. As that isn't going to happen she will have to just keep being mad at me. Here is Bubba playing with a new toy that supposedly isn't even his. Too funny that he can't see those little gun parts without a flashlight.

The kids and I spent a few days visiting family this past week. It was so good to go down there again. Even if we ended up having a snow storm so we were not able to be outside much. I did not think I would need to pack winter gear in April.

We got to meet my niece's twin girls. They are so beautiful and such happy babies. And their Mommy looks awesome! They are 25 days older than Appleseed. Surprising what those days difference can make in size. It was so cute to have them together. It will be fun to see them growing up.

He he. Appleseed's mean Mom put Butterbean's Easter hat on him. He did not like it at all. I love his little frowny face though.

My husband has done some repairs around our house that just crack me up. And unfortunately they work. The bathtub was put in weird so it would leak into the crawl space if the water got too high. He replaced the rubber thingy and stuff in the back 3 times and it still didn't work till he came up with this idea. Viola! It may look dorky but it works. It cracks me up. I do hate our new TV antenna though. It looks horrible and unfortunately also works better with it than without.
