Sickies and Slumber Parties

The flu hit us HARD this year. Kate was sick first. She was sick for most of February. She had one trip to the ER and two rounds of antibiotics. Zach got it next. Very high fever, which turned into a runny nose and cough. Then an infected finger when he got a splinter of something stuck under the nail. He got a tetanus shot, two courses of antibiotics, and an inhaler to help him breathe. Then there was Adam...who usually NEVER gets sick. Well...he got pneumonia pretty bad. It was contagious, so I slept in the living room for a week. At first it was just me, then Zach joined me the next night, and Katelyn joined the third night. Our slumber parties were super fun! We watched Cake Boss seasons 1 and 2 on Netflix. Buddy Velastro taught my children how to make amazing specialty cakes...and how to curse like an Italian. Oops! No more Cake Boss for awhile!!

Now I'm happy to report that Adam is doing much better. Kate still has a cough, Zach still puts his hand in his diaper, and I'm sort of okay through it all. Just sort of coughing still, but life is good. Now lets just cross our fingers and hope that it's all over for now.

I see no dark circles under the eyes; definitely a sign of health.

Look at katelyn's eyes they seem to have those dark circles. The good thing is now she is healthy, no circles as of now.
