Spring has Sprung!

What a beautiful weekend! We woke up very early Saturday morning to the sounds of someone getting sick...Peyton ended up with a stomach bug on Saturday and spent the entire day on the couch either sleeping or watching cartoons - or running to the bathroom. He didn't have any symptoms other than vomiting, so guess it was just a little bug. He kept telling me "mom, I don't like being sick" Poor guy! He missed out on a beautiful day, but the rest of us enjoyed it as much as possible. We opened the windows and let the fresh air in. David worked in the flower garden. I took Aubrey and Tanner on a walk - they hung out in the wagon as I pulled them. It was so nice to get out and Tanner just thought he was something sitting back and relaxing while being pulled by mom. Zach played some basketball and Hunter hung out with him. It was a quiet and peaceful day.

I have to say that it was quite something how quiet and peaceful Saturday was...when we woke up on Sunday morning, Peyton was back to his normal self. It was not a quiet and peaceful day! Siblings were fighting, crying was going on and it was a total turn around from Saturday. I told Peyton that it was amazing how one little boy could keep things so stirred up - he just smiled at me and I imagine he was thinking "I know".

After David went to work Sunday evening, I was sitting on the couch, talking on the phone and holding Tanner in my arms. He was just about asleep when suddenly he started vomiting all over me and the couch. It was just awful...sorry Aunt Karen for the sudden exit of the phone call! I was taken by surprise on this one. I got him, the couch and myself cleaned up and was walking back upstairs from getting everything in the washer when I discovered another trail on the kitchen floor. I cleaned that up - put Tanner in the shower to get him all clean and he went to sleep - but it was anything but a quiet night - he woke up several times sick. I guess it's going through the house and hopefully it avoids the rest of us! Poor little guy just didn't know what was going on.

Ball practices have started in full force...Zach is practicing twice a week on Monday & Thursday, Peyton on Tuesday and Hunter on Wednesday - all from 6-8 each night. The little ones like Zach's practice as there is a play area there and are enjoying going to the park so much. I look forward to when the games actually begin.

I guess that's all for now...

Until next time
