What a crazy life!

Last week I took the kids down to my mom and dad's for the week and it was so much fun! I missed Matt as he had to stay and work, but we enjoyed visiting family and meeting my new little niece Emma. We took lots of pictures of the four little cousins that were born in the last three months - so much fun!! Sarah decided to add to the "fun" and on Friday night she started throwing up. She was pretty sick that night and into the next day --- not so much fun on a 6hr road trip! She ended up wrapped in just a blanket the last half of the way home, her clothes were a little yucky. Well, my kids like to share.... so Grace and Becky started puking Saturday night. I had to teach a lesson on Sunday and Matt was working, so I had Brendan stay at home with the sick girls, and I went to church with Anna and Gideon. That was kind of nice actually!! By Sunday night, Grace and Becky were feeling a bit better, but then it was Anna's turn. We even had a scene straight out of "Cheaper by the Dozen" when Sarah "mopped it up with her back" as she slipped through you-know-what that somebody mis-aimed! Anna had a bit of a rough night and Gideon started throwing up this morning so there were a few sheets to wash today. I kept all the girls home from school and I am hoping they can all go tomorrow. Knock on wood - - nobody has puked since this morning! AND I have ALL my laundry washed, folded AND put away!! It was a crazy busy day, but thanks to movies and the Wii, I was able to bake 8 loaves of bread, wash all the dishes, dismantle the Christmas tree and all the decorations and put it away, sweep the floor, organize the toys, get through 10 loads of laundry, make dinner, and go grocery shopping. Holy smokes, I'm tired!! Here's hoping we are all on the mend!
