We had a very busy, exciting weekend and I will post pictures about it when I am feeling a little better. Jakob started with a cold...still hanging onto a cough, then Rachel & Sam both had high fevers for 4 days...Sam then started with cold symptoms which of course turned into an ear infection...poor little guy! Ben, luckily has escaped having a fever...at least so far...and has only showed cold symptoms. And, I of course did not escape the kids germs...mainly now just head cold symptoms left...stuffy head...ugh! Hopefully we can all be well enough next week to be able to get our flu shots...I do not want to deal with 4 kids with the flu by myself!
Our weekend was crazy, busy, and fun! Call me nuts but, I wanted to get both parties out of the way all at once, so...
Rachel invited 7 girlfriends and one boy (besides Ben of course...Jakob had a sleep over at his friend, Jacob's house) ...sadly he was sick and he couldn't make it though. The rest all came over for pizza and cake. Then played puppies, house, and dress up for a bit. Next, they had popcorn while they watched a movie...Rachel asked everyone to bring their favorite stuffed puppy so they all held them while they watched Snow Buddies :-). After everyone got their jammies on and climbed into their sleeping bags I read a dog book that Rachel had checked out from the library that she wanted everyone to hear and then off to bed they went...all asleep by 11:00.
Then bananas and chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast, left over pizza for lunch and onto the next party! We celebrated Sam's Big #1! Because of the ear infection he really wasn't too happy for his birthday celebration though :-(. He ate a little cake but did not destroy it like I am sure he would have had he been feeling better...maybe we will try again in a few weeks.
So we all survived...I am exhausted still though!
We are all still enjoying the time with my Dad. Lots of quality time being had between him and his grand kids :-)!
I am very excited to share with you that the computer that my wonderful husband ordered me has arrived! Yeah!!!! Read about it here...http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2331286,00.asp

Congratulations on having 2 parties in one day!! WHEW! That made me tired just reading it!
The kids got their flu GEL last week. No shots, its a gel that they put in your nose like a nose spray. It was so easy and no crying! See if they have it there. I think the age is 2 and up for the gel.
Can't wait to see pics!
Yes, the gel is here...Mikayla and Nathan had it, but wouldn't give it to me though since I'm nursing. Anyway, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR PICS!! You're such a good photographer. Don't forget to sign up for the class!!
so glad i was sleeping over...
lulz
Happy #1 to Sam!
We love that movie Snow Buddies. I mean "we" as in the kids. : )
Mmmm chocolate chip pancakes.
Guess we need to get the flu shot, snot, gel, whatever it is...soon.
Hope you start to feel better. Maybe some good sleep will do you some good. Might have to reach for something stronger than Sudafed...hahaha. seriously...joke. : )
