I don't want to be next!

Well it's our family's turn. Last week, my friend Joella and her family had the stomach flu. Then last weekend it was Shannon's family's turn. On Thursday, Kaylyn woke up with a low fever, right at 99.9/100.1. But was fine all day Thursday and Friday. Then Saturday at 4 am, Kaylyn woke up with the stomach flu. And it lasted until about Noon (her last bout) after which she took a 2 hour nap. By 4 pm, she felt really good but we tried to keep her resting and on a limited diet of toast and applesauce. So we thought we were done.

Today, Kaylyn and Adam stayed home from Church, waiting the 24 hrs after last episode for Kaylyn. Then Adam headed to the church for the Nativity, where he was in the orchestra/ensemble playing his trumpet. I brought the girls over to the Church about 4:30 so we could see his performance. The girls and I came home about 6:30 and started to eat some dinner. Adam had Nativity responsibilities until 9 pm so he stayed at the church. Morgan wasn't interested in her food and just wanted held. It wasn't until she and Sissy were eating popsicles that Morgan tossed her cookies. So here I am, dealing with a sick toddler who doesn't understand what's happening, but is doing very good about using the bucket - her blankie hasn't gotten hit yet.

So I really don't want to be next and neither does Adam. But if the timing holds, one of us will be sick Tuesday morning and then the next one Wednesday night. But I'm hoping it's not going to happen. Pray for us!

Read me a story please

Morgan and Kaylyn both love to read stories. Now that Kaylyn is reading so well, she loves to read to her sister.

Halloween

Halloween night, Morgan was a duck again. Kaylyn decided to wear her Dora costume (3rd year for that costume). And Sydney was a witch. Sydney is our next door neighbors' granddaughter. She and Kaylyn are good friends and have gone trick or treating together the past 3 years with Adam and Rich (our neighbor). Our evening started out doing our street and part of the street behind us. We then went over to Nana's at 7 pm for their trick or treating activity. The girls always score tons of Candy at Nana's apartment. Then we came back to our neighborhood to finish the street behind us and the street beside us. All of the girls came home loaded with candy and couldn't wait to check out their stash.
