Last Sunday we had company, Steve and Lisa, arrive from Grand Forks BC. They were in Calgary for a job interview on the Tuesday and decided to come a few days early to visit. They have three children...Katelyn (4), Naleah (2) and Alexa (1month). We were looking forward to a relaxing week with them but........we all ended up with the flu. I have to say, without going into details, that it was disgusting. So, Monday-Thursday were taken up with taking care of 4 sick kids. They ended up staying until this morning so we did have a few good days of visiting with them :)
So, I guess when it rains it pours. Hopefully this next week will be more eventful (in a fun way) and I will have more to blog about next week!
Hallie did have a fever of 105.4 the other night when she was sick so I brought her into bed with me after giving her a cool bath at 10:30pm. Chris went to sleep in Hallies room because he had to work the next day. At midnight she was still awake and chatting and so I finally said "Hallie you have to go to sleep and let mommy get some sleep too". She wasn't happy. Then she said "Mommy?" and I said "Yes Hallie" (but not very nicely I have to admit) and she replied with "you are a beautiful woman!!" It's like they know when you are just about to hurt them and they turn on the charm. She then proceeded to tell me I was precious, gorgEous (she says the E) and that she loves me all the way to the moon.
Man, I love my kids.
Well, I better to sanitize my house to get rid of all the sick germs in here!
