Busy and Sick Weekend

The flu bug has hit our house, and we have survived! Just a quick run down of our busy weekend.

Thursday night, well technically Friday morning about 1 a.m., Easton started throwing up. He was sick all day Friday. By Saturday afternoon he was better. BUT, Saturday evening, RIGHT before Dave and I were headed out the door, Paisley started feeling sick. Luckily, Dave's mom was filling in for our babysitter who was also ill. Since grandma was with her, we went ahead and left her. But, she did throw up while we were gone. She was VERY sick all day Sunday. Poor thing couldn't even keep water down. Today, though, she was much better and ate all her meals, etc. So, it must have been a 24 hour bug.

Then, today, Dave wasn't feeling well. And, about 11:00 this morning ended up coming home from work sick and staying in bed all day. I think his is more sinus related, but still not fun. At least Avery and I were healthy this weekend. :)

We did have some fun, regardless of the sicknesses. Friday night we went out to eat with all of Dave's family for his brother's birthday. (My dad was nice enough to come hang out and watch a movie with Easton while we went.)

Saturday, Paisley played in her basketball game. She is so cute to watch. And, she is so aggressive. What my kids may lack in size, they make up in aggression. She is a really good little defensive player. Now to work on the offense. :) Easton had to miss his game, even though he was pretty much 100%, we didn't want to chance it.

Saturday afternoon we went to some friends house so that Dave and Easton could work on making Easton's pinewood derby car. Our friend, Michael, has lots of wood working tools and knows a lot. So, they have a good start on a fun little car. (pictures to come)

Saturday night we were invited over to play games with some friends. They taught us Settlers of Catan. We loved that game and now that we know how to play, we can't wait to play again! We also played Ticket to Ride Europe for the first time. Thanks, Brian and Kara...let's do it again FOR SURE! :)

Sunday, I stayed home from church with Paisley while Dave and Easton went. My mom came over to hang out and we did a puzzle all day. Later that night, the puzzle was almost done and my mom and I were cleaning up the kitchen. When we were done, I said, "Okay, let's go finish our puzzle!" So we went in to find that DAVE had finished it!!! Seriously?!? We worked on it all day and he put in the last 25 pieces or so??? We let him go this one time, but let him know very sternly that it is not good "puzzle etiquette" to finish the puzzle someone has worked all day on! :)

It was a pretty fun weekend, sickness and all. Glad that we are through with the flu! (knock on wood)
