Taking a sick day

Sometimes, I wish it was me that got to take a sick day, but it just seems that I don't get sick (knock on wood), even when pregnant. Lucky me! But sometimes, my kiddos do get sick, then it's up to good ol' mom to take care of 'em. I can't really complain, they don't seem to get sick all too often, and for that I'm VERY grateful.

Halli came running into our room this morning at 5am to inform us that Peyton was throwing up. We ran up there and sure enough, it was all over the bed. So, we cleaned her up, and ushered her downstairs to our room to sleep so we could help her make the bowl should it happen again. Luckily we slept through what was left of our night, and she seemed to be doing much better during the day.

That is till she threw up again, great! But that was it for today, so I'm hoping tonight goes well, and that it's a short lived virus.

At 2:00 though, we got a call from the nurse at school. Halli had a tummy ache, and a fever. She hasn't thrown up yet (knock on wood again), and won't be going to school tomorrow cause her fever was too high, so we have all the girls at home and sometimes they feel sick, and other times they don't, that's always fun.

These photos were taken right around dinner time, when everyone was feeling good and happy. Kevin got a remote control helicopter for christmas and the girls have effectively taken it over. They are FASCINATED by it, especially Lexie. It's pretty fun to see how excited they get about it.

This is an overhead shot that shows the helicopter on the table. I think the girls broke it, or Kevin did and he's blaming it on them.:)

Also, since it was so cold today, Kevin got to stay home from work. Thank goodness! So we were able to work on a few projects around the house that we've been wanting to do for awhile, first was adding knobs to our cabinets in the kitchen, next will be the drawer pulls, I love it!
