Zack’s room is always a mess. I asked him to go to his room and clean it and not to come out until it was done. I was so proud of him because an hour went by and he was still “working”. I went to check on his progress and saw this….
Since I was still feeling sick and tired I took a picture, turned around, and went to bed. I got an hour nap in. So all in all….a win.
So this has been our spring break. We were so excited for a whole week to play around Dayton and maybe travel to PA or KY, but then I got sick on Sunday. Sunday night Andrew started not feeling great, and after taking his temp he had a temp of 103. Lovely. That night was unrestful since Andrew woke me up at 2am, temp 104 and then proceeded to vomit. There is nothing I hate more in this world than vomit. For some reason my kids don’t like to be alone when they vomit so I did my best to lightly sleep while waiting for the horrible sound. I finally got back to bed by 6am. Poor Andrew had just been on the couch all week with a high fever. Thankfully the throwing up stopped after one night.
Kallie was feeling left out so she decided to get sick on Tuesday. So our house pretty much looked like this picture for the rest of the week.
Last night (Thursday) Zack decided to join the sick crew. So today is more movies and taking naps. I just pray their teachers don’t ask them to write a paper on what they did over Spring Break. It would be short…..”we stayed home, watched movies, and did nothing fun’” Poor kids. So I can now declare, Spring Break 2017 SUCKS
This morning Z was ready for school about 15 minutes early. Before he started to play with Rascal I told him to go potty one more time before the bus came. He then announces he has to poop! Thinking we have plenty of time I’m not worried about him not making his bus. 17 minutes later his bus arrives. I beg, plead, bribe him to be done (it’s been 17 minutes!) He is adamant he is not done. I walk outside, explain to the bus drive he is going poop. The bus driver and aid both start laughing because they had figured he was pooping. Sadly this isn’t the first time this has happened. I walk back inside, sit at my computer, and then he proudly announces, “I”M DONE!!!!” I look out the window and see the bus drive by. This kid.
Today Benjamin gave a talk in Sacrament Meeting. It’s amazing to me how grown up and composed up there at the pulpit. It was a proud mom moment. He did amazing a gave a talk on “how to sustain in the church”. He broke is down on how to sustain your testimony by doing the small and simple things daily.
As we were leaving church Ben was being a stinker to Zack. Zack comes running up to me to tell and Ben and yells (in the middle of the busy hallway) “MOM! Ben’s gone to the darkside!” It was a pretty awesome moment. Still working on this whole love at home thing…..
