Updates...

Just some updates and answers to questions...

Thank you all for your well wishes on the stomach bug. I wish I could report it ended well but it has not. The twins got it and recovered and I thought we were home free. Until Easter's Eve when Jacob got it. Luckily for him it was just that night and he was healthy and able to enjoy Easter. Sunday night Alan got it and got it bad. He has been home for three days! Then last night Lindsey came in sick too and was home from school all day today. Girls night for me was cancelled (that really stunk) and its been a rotten week. More rotten for the sick ones I am sure. I am not too fond of cleaning up the puke, loosing sleep etc... Oh and I am the only one who has yet to be hit. Please let me be spared. With the amount of exposure I had to the actual stuff it would be a near miracle!

Aside from that thank also for the many comments on the Easter pictures. The girls dresses are from The Baby Gap (new favorite). They sold out long ago sorry. I got the girls dresses not intending them for Easter but like I said it crept up on me and I got practical. Most years I match all the kids and go to great efforts to do it. I just decided the theme would be polka dots (because it worked). Lindsey had a dress I purchased from The Children's Place (pink) but it just did not work. So the night before Easter her and I headed to the Mall. We arrived at 8pm and went to Dillard's, The Children's Place, Macy's, J.C Penney's and Payless shoes. We made it out by 9pm with the dress, sweater, tights, and shoes. It sounds awful but Lindsey and I had a lot of fun. She loved keeping track of our time and we got lucky finding all the pieces at different stores. We had a nice mother daughter time and she felt really special. The dress worked too (even if it wasn't matching the twins). I could not believe how much more enjoyable she was alone with me. Jacob was actually wearing the suit from my sisters wedding with new shirt and tie from Gymboree.

I have so enjoyed seeing everyone elses Easter posts and pictures and reading all of your blogs. I am just too behind on everything and busy with the sick kids to post my comments. I try not to be a selfish blogger ( I love comments). I'll be back soon. I promise.

I'm sorry that the flu has stuck around and that you had to miss your girls night. I really hope you don't get it. Let me know if you need any help. I am always good at running to the store.

Laura,
NO! My fingers are so STILL crossed that you don't get sick. All of my kids are sick too. Surprise, surprise. But, with nasty coughs. I hope I'm spared as well. I can't wait to catch up when I get home. Sorry about the cancellation of your plans, but the time with Lindsey sounded great~

I hope the bug skips you. It's not fair when mom gets sick.

♥ I hope that you don't get sick too and that everyone is healthy again very soon!!!

Debra said...

If I ever get to create planets moms would never get sick!!!! I will override the Priesthood on that one! LOL

I hope you all get well soon and that you stay HEALTHY!

Sorry you missed a GNO. That stinks. I REALLY look forward to mine. I would be so said if I missed it.

Sounds like GREAT mom-daughter time. I really enjoy Joseph when he is alone too. I think I make him more grown up than he is because I need his help so much. But when we are alone, it is just he and I and we can talk and do fun stuff HE likes.

BTW.. I did get your email today. I don't use the msn account anymore so I just got. I will reply later when I have more time. Thursday is a LONG day for us with classes for 3 kids throughout the day.

Oh man, I hope your loved ones get better soon! I seems like the flu is taking families down one at a time lately!

I'll be praying you are spared!

Feel better soon! We don't have the flu around here it's a very nasty cold that has hit my 2 youngest. Nothing like having a 5 month old hacking up her lungs. Anyway, your kiddo's did look great on Easter. I am a shop a holic and love to find cute clothes at a great deal.

Speaking of great deals. Do you still have that one dress that is a boutique brand something beets? You listed it on eBay and I forgot to bid. It's the white one with the flowers. If you do let me know, I loved that dress.

So sorry that the sickies passed through everyone. Hope you are still going strong! Nothing worse than a sick mama. So fun your shopping with Lindsey. I need to have more outings like that with Jack.
