So what do you do when your weekend plans for a SUPER FUN trip to Utah to visit your friends gets messed up, then canceled due to your entire family getting the stomach flu??
Well, we did a little of this...
I love the position he fell asleep in. Brayden fell asleep in a funky position in the other chair in our family room too, but I didn't think to get a picture of it.
A LOT of watching this...
I stopped counting after 10 or 12 movies in 2 days by either all of us or just the kids.
A bit of playing this...
...among other games.
Made good use of the art set we got for Christmas...
Drank a ton of this...
Unless of course you are a sick baby, then this is all that will do...
And a WHOLE LOT of this....
my whole hallway upstairs is STILL filled with blankets, towel, sheets, and various pajamas that had been washed. We pretty much never got out of our PJ's all weekend, really only to shower and get clean ones on occasionally.
We definitely caught some horrible flu bug, but we weren't so lucky to have it pass over in just 24 hours like it did with most people. Actually it only lasted about a day for me, which was good, because it lasted a lot longer with everyone else in my family and I had to take care of everyone. Isn't the job of a Mom so fun??? The puking started on Wednesday morning and didn't stop till Sunday night! Patrick even passed out once while he was so sick. It was crazy!
I'm so done with sickness at our house! I think my washer and dryer may go on strike because they have been used so much over the past few days. The Clorox wipes have been working overtime too!
I'm happy to report we are all FINALLY better, but didn't get to do a single fun thing all weekend. I was going bonkers being quarantined to the house. I ventured out to Wal-Mart twice... once for diapers and once for more Sprite and bread for toast! So I resorted to a little "retail therapy" by shopping online. I bought a new book, The Hunger Games, it should be here later this week. Some new capris, I really needed some and didn't want to miss the Holiday Weekend sales. And I almost bought a new entertainment center on Overstock for the new TV we are about to get... but I had to draw the line there, I think Patrick would have killed me if I bought that out of boredom!! And I spent lots of time on Ebay hunting for deals on things I wanted... but didn't get any.
Here's to hoping for a better week this week then last.
I sure missed going to Utah though... *sigh*

That really sucks! Jantzen had the throw-ups last week, but it was only twice and then he was okay, thank goodness! I don't think Josh would have been too happy to have our weekend trip cancelled. Glad you guys are feeling better.
You poor thing...I am so sorry! I totally think it's unfair when Mom's get sick AND have to take care of everyone else! I am glad you are all starting to feel better!
I am so glad you guys are feeling better!! I sure missed you guys coming down!!! Oh and I loved the hunger game books! I think you will too.
No fun! It always happens that moms recover faster so then we're back to taking care of everyone else. Maybe you'll be able to make the trip again soon.
Ooh. Your weekend sounds identical to mine - trading a fun trip for the flu. AND, our flu didn't just last 24 hours either. Laundry, 7-up, laundry, sleep, laundry, movies, did I mention laundry?? It's all still lining my halls too.

We missed you!
