Sick Days...

We have been missing around here lately because we all have been sick.  It started a little over a week ago with Gabe getting sick, then Sam and I followed suit.  So there has been lots of relaxing and snuggling with our favorite friends.  Now that we are all on the mend, it is catchup time on everything around here.  So I hope over the next few days to get some other entries up for you.

Round 2.....

So I will be missing over the next few days as we brace for round two of this wonderful bug that is visiting us. Now it is Sam's turn. Wish us luck.
Update--it is 5:30 in the morning and I am wide awake after only a couple hours of sleep because Dh has been hit with it to. Now lets hope that the odds are in my favor of staying healthy. (doubtful though)

A sick day....

Well I was going to get posting things yesterday but it was just one of those days when you everything you plan goes straight out the window. Gabe came down with a bug. I started of scouring his room and the bathroom clean. That was all before 9:00 am. Sign of how my day was going to go. Not at all like I planned.
So Gabe spent the morning laying on the couch watching shows. He looks so excited don't you think.

I had him go to his room for some down time in the afternoon. His brother spent the entire reading to him. The little guy fell asleep while his brother was reading. This is how he looked when he woke up. His tempature rose and he got sick again. The poor little man. As you see though his brother is very attentive to him. His nuturing gene is really strong.

So this is how he spent the rest of his day. Even sick he is still adorable. Thankfully he is on the mend today. He is taking it easy today but his fever and everything else is staying low.

Oh what a week......
I have been so busy. Let me share the past few days with you and what we have been up to. Ok the last day that I posted anything was Thursday. Here are some photos of what the kids did on that day.
First Gabe played that he was the Statue of Liberty. I know my kids are a little odd, they like to pretend that they are World Landmarks. That is one of the many reasons that I love these crazy kids of mine though.
This one was complements of Gabe. I went in the Bathroom to find this. When I asked him what was going on he said..."The dinosaur needed his medicine." Ouch! poor dinosaur.
Then the kids did some art projects for The Chinese New Year. They are making their own ribbon lanterns. They have yet to finish them because I was missing one of the supplies. So as soon as I get to the store they will be able to finish them.
Friday was a catch up day. We had fallen so far behind on our work this week that I gave the boys time to finish up on it. That is one of the many joys of homeschooling, schedules can be adjusted with ease. So in this picture Sam had made one of the floor foam puzzles. Well Gabe thought that he needed to naap on it. Sam thought that he was to cute and took the picture.
Well this picture and the one below it were of some robots that Sam built because Thursday was also "Love Your Robot Day". So he built these two great robots. We also watched 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea on Friday because it was Jules Verne's Birthday.

Well on Saturday we went to the library as usuall. Unfortunetly we had to walk there because the car is still broken down. We found out it is the transmission on that. Yuck!!!! Well the library is 3 miles away so 6 round trip. So all four of us put on back packs and set off. All bags were filled for the trip home to. The boys were so good. Gabe cried some but that was because he was in a lot of pain, his sneakers have gotten to small. By the end of the walk daddy carried him up on his shoulders. Then when we got home we unloaded the books and headed out to finish the last of our errands. The boys walked about 7 miles total that day. Oh and for the last portion I did allow them to switch their shoes. Also on Saturday it was the anniversary of Hershey's Chocolate foundation. So as the picture above shows we mad some chocolate covered pretzels.
Sunday we normally due our "unplugged" project. The boys just did not feel up to it this week. So this was there unplugged time. Sam played monopoly with daddy. Gabe sat there reading while they played. It was a nice easy day. That night things changed though dh came down with a fever. Pretty sure he has the flu, because he is still home fighting whatever he has. So monday ended up being a pretty tame day with him being sick. I spent the day taking care of him and trying to get ahead on the cleaning in case I come down with it. Now that brings me today a whole lot more cleaning and taking care of the sick. The kids are coming down with whatever their dad has. The biggest bummer of all is that it is ......
Gabe's Birthday.
He turns 5 years old today. So it is kind of a simple birthday today. We planned on going to here and here this weekend but it looks like we might have to postpone it for a week. oh well. Happy birthday to my baby anyways. So until everyone feels better I might disappear for a few days. Hopefully I will be back soon though.

This pretty much sums up the way that we all feel around here right now. Over the past couple of weeks we have been dealing with sickness. First Gabe went in to the doctors twice in a week, to find out that he a new ear infection each time. He went on medication for that. We went in for a follow up the next week and the ear infections had cleared but now he had walking pneumonia. So new medicine for that. After a couple of visits to the Walking Pneumonia has cleared but now he has croup. Thankfully he is on the mend finally. So as you can tell this is definetly what we want to say to everything going on here.

Sick days

We have been sick around here lately. It has been a really bad cold going around. So we decided to take a few days off. We had been so busy with the Tae Kwon Do, that the boys have had no down time to rest. Good news on that front though, Gabe earned his first strip this weekend. That is all for now.
