Sick! Sick! Sick!

F.Y.I.  Went to the doctor Thursday, the 24th, because my fever just wouldn't stay away and I have a severe sinus infections.  Finally starting to feel better.


We went from having such a good time at the Great Wolf Lodge, to me being SICK!  I haven't been knocked out by a cold in a long time and even though we got the flu shot, I think this might have been a little flu. Needless to say, our family has been a little off .  Brandon has been so sweet, staying home and caring for everything.  He is such a good husband.  The kids have been super cute about my fever, rushing home from school to ask what my temperature was.  They were super concerned when it reached 102.5 and then so excited for it to be down to 99 this afternoon.  The love I felt, although I was very achy, too, was so nice to feel, being the main lover of the ill in this household.  I'm not often on the receiving end.  Although I HATE being sick, it was nice to have a moment were everyone doted on the doter, cared for the carer.  I love my family.

Fun, fun, fun!

We had such a wonderful time at the Great Wolf Lodge.  I always forget how much fun vacations can be, even just little ones like that.  We've gone to the GWL with my sister's family several times and the same thing always happens.  Anna runs off with her BFC Emily as soon as we get to the water. Riley gets to hang out with the big boys, namely Uncle David and Brandon, because they will go on the big rides with him and Evan straps on his life jacket and immediately starts to kill some waves with his big Karate kicks and, of course, his lightsaber.   I was excited this time to go get some sweets with my sister after the kids were in bed.  It's always fun to get to enjoy some grown-up talk on vacation.  It was so nice to be in a warm and mostly sunny place for a few days instead of stuck in the house.  It was also fun to be there when it snowed, inside, at the lodge.  Just after the bedtime clock tower show at 9 pm, the snow machines started.  I had been wondering how they pull it off and keep it so clean still and it was awesome.  They use bubbles, only they don't come out as big floaty bubbles.  They come out as tiny clumps of bubbles that really look like snow.  It was pretty cool.  The kids jumped around trying to catch the snow, but not with their tongues, thank goodness. Yuck. The kids are always so sad to leave, but luckily there is a Dairy Queen just down the road, so we have made it a habit to stop there for one last hurrah before we head home.  It was a wonderful way to start a long weekend.  Brandon took Friday off as well, so he had a five day weekend.  Which has turned out to be great, because I came home and promptly got sick!  Not so good, but still had a blasts and am happy to laze around getting better while Brandon takes care of the kids. :-) Hope you have a Happy President's Day!!  Love P~
P.S. I'll add pictures later, as they are upstairs on that computer....Sorry

Really?...

Did I really just skip from Christmas to Valentine's day?  I guess I will have to make this a Holiday blog.  If you're lucky, I'll seek out all of those really obscure holidays, like Grandparents day and stuff like that.  I guess I have just been so busy living that I haven't gotten a chance to blog about it.  Actually, I have been too busy reading the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.  But life has been full as well.  January holds three birthdays for our family, so we literally had a party every weekend of January except one!  February has gone by quickly and we're already heavy laden with all of the chocolate that Valentine's brings.  So my new goal is to upload more photos.  I won't be doing that this post, as I am on the laptop and the photos are on the regular computer. So I guess I've already made my first excuse for not doing what I said I would.  But I have to remain a little consistent in my inconsistency, right?  Don't want anyone to go into shock or anything.  We are leaving a little later today to go to the Great Wolf Lodge with some family and I WILL blog about that when I get back!  I will, i will...  Here's to trying at least.


Hope you all had a great Valentine's Day and that the love hasn't stopped just because the day has! Love ~P.
