Hayden, Cameron & Colby

I'm kinda sad. Our plans to ride the Haunted Train tonight had to be cancelled. My cousin's little boy was sick, and we are all still sick at our house too. Hopefully next week we will be able to ride the train.

Below is a recap of our week.
I hope it doesn't stress you out as much as it did me!

When Hayden saw this picture he said, "Hayden. Taking a nap."
I took a picture because I thought he looked so darn cute.
This short 5 minute nap happened to be pretty much the only nap or sleep for that matter that he has had all week. And if he was not asleep he was crying and wanting me to hold him. He didn't want to sit down though, he wanted to walk around the house. I'm pretty sure that my back is permanently damaged.

36 pound 22 month olds with the flu are not so easy to take care of. This has, hands down, been the longest, most stressful week of my life! But, I'm still alive and so are all of my kids and my husband and so are all of the deer that he was hunting for!

This is Cameron, entertaining himself and making us all laugh. He came home from school sick on Tuesday with a fever, coughing, body aches, etc... After a couple of doses of Oscillococcinum and lots of EmergenC, he was ok to go to school the next day and still so far so good.

Crazy Hair Day at school.

This do was his version of an "Umpa Lumpa."

Colby stayed home from school on Thursday because he was tired and coughing. Gave him a couple doses of the O stuff and EmergenC, and he was feeling much better by mid-morning. With this kid I am not sure if it was the medicine and the rest that made him feel better or the fact that he realized that he really was successful in his attempt to fake sick and was going to get to miss the whole day of school?! He was pretty upset when 3:30 rolled around. All his friends were home from school and he realized after numerous attempts to convince me that he was not sick at all anymore, that I really was not going to let him go play.

Whats really amazing is that this morning before school he tried to play the "I'm really tired" card. We told him that he was going to school, but if by lunch time he didn't feel any better he could call me. Sure enough right after lunch recess I got a call from Colby, saying that he was "so so so tired and needed to come home. So I went and got him and made him lay down with out TV and rest. But yet again, I swear this kid is the most stubborn kid I know, at 3:30 he was asking if he could go play. Seriously Colby!
