Family Sick Day

Today has been an unscheduled family day.... vomit included! So I won't put in any pictures of course, who has time to take pictures when you are cleaning up puke and more importantly, who wants to see that!

It started last night. I took Courtney to my sister Nicole's house while I played volleyball. We left about 7PM and was in great spirits when I left to play. I started playing and with about 4 points left in the match, I got really lightheaded and had to go sit down. I just attributed it to the pregnancy. Three of the girls sat with me a bit to make sure I was OK (Thanks Sarah, Dawn and Candice!) and then I got a call from Nicole telling me that they had a bit of a problem. Courtney had thrown up in their bed. I changed my shoes, stood up and ended up racing over the garbage can and vomiting as well. Lovely! Sarah called Brian and told him to call in sick for Tuesday as he had 2 sick girls at home. Sarah and Candice then drove my car (and me) to pick up Courtney and half of the way home. Sarah's plan was to drive me all the way... but they live about 45 min south of me and it would have been very late and by then I was feeling like I could drive.... so at least they could get home a bit earlier.

So today was pajama day and Courtney is on her 3rd set of pajamas but it seems that she is doing better. She ate a bit of toast around 3pm and seems fine. Maybe tomorrow will be a normal day for her and I, but now Brian has a sore throat. Here's hoping to a healthy family by Friday so we can participate in the planned Christmas festivities!

Keep Healthy!

9 month photo shoot

I bet you are expecting photos. Well maybe next week. We went to take the pictures and true to form, Courtney was all off of her schedule so when we got there at 10:40 (normally she would be done with her morning nap) she hadn't taken a nap yet. Needless to say, she didn't crack a smile the whole time we were there. We shall try again... next week!

What really happened.....

Well, for the second time since we moved into our house in late July, I have flooded the laundry room. Somehow a kitchen rag was stuck in the sink that our washing machine empties into. Since the drain was blocked, the water had no place to go but the floor. As for the Listerine and other "treasures on the warming machine", I had just gotten back from Target an hour earlier and when the flood occurred, tried to get everything out of the bags and on the dryer. At least it wasn't paint tinted water like last time.

Can you make a story for these pictures?
