Puke and Rally

Well, we have all had the stomach bug this week.  It started at 2:00 a.m. on Thursday.  I heard Sam crying over the monitor.  Sam has slept through the night since he was 2 months old, so I knew something was wrong.  I walk in to find Sam sitting on his knees, rocking back and forth, clutching his stomach.  Right as I picked him up he started to gag.  Thankfully we got to the bathroom in time and Sam was able to make a sizable and really disgusting deposit.  Even though I felt so bad for him I couldn't help but get tickled at him.  This is the first time Sam has thrown up since he was a baby and he had no idea what was happening to him.  His response to this new "feeling" was one of ANGER.  He was so mad about throwing up.  Right after he finished he kind of shrugged his shoulders and said, "mom, can I go back to bed?"  He was up again at 5:00 and then again at 7:00. We let him stay home from school and rest. By his 7:00 a.m. puke-fest he was an old pro. He would just stop where he was standing, throw up and then go about his business of playing.

At 11:00 I got a call from the school telling me that Finn was sick. I went to pick him up and he seemed fine. On the way home Finn asked if he could play.  I told him "no, you are sick, remember . . . I am going to treat you like you are sick."  Finn then told me that he thought he was feeling much better and wanted to go back to school.  By this time I knew he was faking but we went on home and I put him to bed.  At 2:00 I ended up having to eat crow because Finn started yaking as well. It was a smelly day.

These are a few pictures from a birthday party that the boys attended at a gymnastics studio.

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
