Sick little ones...

The Youngblood Crew had a pretty eventful weekend!  Grandma & Grandpa Hardison came into town on Friday to visit for the weekend.  The kids enjoyed showing them the greenway and our new garden on Saturday...then things went downhill Saturday night with Sean & Lilly!  Jon woke me up at 11:30 and said, "Honey, Sean just threw up all in his bed."  That wasn't an exaggeration...it was ALL over everything...so thankful that Jon cleaned up the "mess" while I cleaned up Sean and got him changed and cleaned and wrapped up in a towel since he was still cold...that part is important, but even though I hadn't planned it for this purpose, he threw up all into the towel while we were still cleaning up the walls in his bedroom and changing sheets. One less pair of pjs to be added to the eventual 4 sets of sheets, 2 comforters, 6 towels, and several dishtowels that had to be washed!  He woke up again throwing up (and my wonderful husband didn't even wake me up for that round!) and Lilly woke up with wet sheets from where we forgot to put on her pull-up.  Well, she started throwing up then too, but Jon thought it was b/c she saw Sean throw up.

So, he changed both their sheets again (without me! :) then went back to bed only for her to wake up at 4:30 throwing up some more.  It was then I realized how sweet he had been not to wake me for round #2.  We just stayed up at that point and started doing laundry.  We literally did 7 loads on Sunday.  Jon took my dad to church while my mom stayed home with me and the kids.

They were so needy & whiny, I didn't get any pics with grandma & grandpa.  But, today they're mostly feeling better except Lilly is still grumpy and has no appetite.  She's still cute even sick, though!

I just can't resist those still big cheeks!image

She loves the new sandals I got for her at the MUMC consignment sale SO much, that she won't take them off...I was so happy with this find, considering I have a hard time finding girl shoes that aren't pink and I'm not a fan of pink and love blue things for girls.  I think it goes well with her blond hair and blue eyes!  image

Sean spent the morning linking up his new alphabet cards that I made for him.  I printed them out, laminated them, then punched holes in them.  We're going to start "building words" with them.  I got this very creative idea from a blog called Homeschool Creations.  image

We are having our roof replaced today (our insurance policy is paying for it because we had hail damage!)  So, there is a lot of banging going on today.  I'm letting the kids take their naps downstairs (literally as I'm typing this!)  and Sean was super excited for me to pull out the sleeper sofa so he could use his sleeping bag he got for Christmas! image

Lilly couldn't wait for the bag, and fell asleep in the chair she's occupied for most of the past 2 days (hence the towel covering it!)  So, I just covered her up with her blanket.  Brilee is crawling around at my feet while I'm typing.  She's getting to be quite fast with her crawling, and I have to keep her away from everything that the kids' leave behind!  She's a quick one, and notices any little thing on the floor.  I'm going to have to go back to vacuuming 3 times a day!image
