Body Fluids...

are what I have been knee deep in for the past 4 days! Trying to potty train a stubborn dog, and have 2 sick kids who have been throwing up and down is no fun at all. Hoover just peed on Josh's dry cleaning pile, just this second.....But, hopefully we are through the worst now. Until Noah and I get it.
This weekend we tried to keep the kids away from other kids, so not to spread our germs. We did have a get together at Nanna's Saturday night. Since Lex and Luke weren't there, we decided to take the kids, and they did really well and we had a great time watching the game, eating pizza, and hanging out with the fam. (Although it worsened my baby fever being around the 2 pregos...) but, I can't change Josh's mind, so I will just have to deal with it. Harper and Juddson begged me to let them take a bath after they ate supper, so they played in there with their paint soaps Nanna got for them for a long time. Noah stayed pretty much to himself in the bedroom and watched SpongeBob and played trains.
Sunday we didn't go to church, once again, so not to infect the whole nursery with hand, foot, and mouth disease. Mom, Dad, and Kara did risk their health to come and eat lunch with us. Later on in the day we took a walk to Westark and let the kids play in the grass under the trees by the bell tower, but the bells were playing music and it must have disturbed some huge yellow jackets nest that was way up in the tower because thousands of them were flying around, and it was making me nervous, so after a few minutes of play we left and walked back home. We decided to try to take Noah (since he hadn't had any symptoms) to the dollar movie to see Wall-E and Nanna came over to keep the other two.... by the time she got there, Noah didn't want to go and Harper did, so we took Harper and Nanna watched the boys for us. Harper ate her bag of popcorn, and when it was empty, she was ready to go. "Mommy, I wanna go home now, mommy, take me home... mommy I wanna see Banna" over and over and louder and louder... So, I just left with her. We got the stroller out of the truck and started walking home. Josh picked us up on about 47th street, and not a minute too soon, I was literally about to pee in my pants... I was looking for a bush or drainage ditch or something, I was miserable. After we got home and saw the boys and talked for awhile; Nanna generously let us trade cars with her for the next couple of weeks while mine is in the shop. Nanna has a Sequoia too, so it is perfect and will hold all 3 car seats. THANK YOU NANNA!!! So, Josh cleaned out the cars and got the car seats switched out and Nanna left. We ate dinner and the kids went to sleep. Around 2:30am, Harper started throwing up, which woke up Josh and Noah and myself, since I got thrown up on, of course. After she settled down and the mess was cleaned up, she wanted to watch Wubbzy and after Wubbzy, Noah wanted to watch Little Bear. We watched those shows, and they finally went back to sleep.
So, this morning, there was no school for anyone. I did take Noah to therapy and Judd and Harper and I went to WalMart. That place is as germy as it gets, so I didn't worry too much about spreading their germs there-- sorry people, I had to get some stuff. After Walmart, picked up Noah, stopped by the bank to see the girls, unloaded groceries, made dinner, went for a run (thanks, Josh!) ate dinner, bathed the kids, jammied them, put them to sleep, went to El Mercado, paid for the bounce- a -round for Noah's party this weekend, came home, chilled for a minute and watched a couple of Curb's.....
No new funnies really, Judd is starting to say "uh hu" for yes, because he only answers with his long drawn out "noooo" so that's kind of funny. Noah got out Josh's tools today and showed us how to use each one, and carried them around and fixed things. Harper was sick and clingy and wanted to go to bed and watch baseball with her daddy.
