Spring Break 2008

Spring Break what a week!

Well we have survived spring break this year but I do not know how. We have had ups and downs. The week started off pretty well. The weather was rainy so the outdoor activities were out. We watched movies and played at friends homes until... The Van's started to explode. The Van's are our friends that we do a lot with. Mark started the stomach virus and it has not stopped. I can say that we are lucky that we did not get it. So they thought that the children did not have it and we went to Cici's pizza. We are standing in line waiting to check out and the kids are horsing around. Then next thing I hear is Keyda crying. Austin had "removed" her from his back where she had been hanging and she fell. Her elbow connected with the tile floor and as the meal progressed it started to swell. That resulted in numerous calls to Sam and other medically inclined friends to form the consensus that she should go to the ER to have her first X-Ray. We did come out without a broken elbow just a bruised bone and a ton of stickers. The next day the vomit begins through the Van's children. I decide to stay far way from this and we go with Laura to a bouncing play land. The kids had a blast playing with James and so did the moms. I jumped and played like I was 5. Laura after just having surgery a couple of weeks ago took it alittle lighter but still had a blast. As I am out having fun with my friend my loving husband has taken apart out bathroom and rebuilt it. It is looking great. He gets cool points from me. Friday is fun night with the Howells and we play games and eat good food. Sat. I am thinking that it will be a fun day. The Van's take Austin to a model rocket launch and the girls paint their nails. We decide to go to Friendly's for dinner. Now this is a joint that has Ice Cream with every ones meal and just a fun place to eat. On the way the vomit begins again. Paige spews in the car. Allen does not go because he is not feeling well again and from what I understand by this mornings phone call Michael was puking last night again. So far my children have not gotten this bug but let us all pray... Now I am off to paint the bathroom to get it ready to finish. I have had a interesting spring break.
