2018 Hasn't Been Boring

Just 18 short days ago, we were talking about how 2017 was just so ordinary.  Really nothing at all happened that made it stand out to us.  Not that that's a bad thing, but we do like a little excitement once in awhile.  Well 2018 so far is showing us a grand ole time!

The first full weekend in January we had two of our nieces overnight while their parents went on a little ski trip.  Our furnace had been limping along all week but somehow it would keep on going.  Unfortunately it decided to officially die right before lunch and naps on that Saturday.

So we ever so hastily packed up their stuff, our kid's stuff, our stuff, put carseats in the van, went through Little Ceasar's and Taco Bell drive thru (multiple palates to satisfy) and headed to Danny's sisters house.  The kids all ate and went down for naps and we got settled in cause we weren't sure how long we would be there. 

They were quite the gracious hosts!  They were even going to let us stay until our furnace got replaced on Wednesday!

But Monday night around 10:00 Summer started throwing up.  I ended up taking her to the couch to spend the night with her where she continued throwing up until 4:30 in the morning.  Somewhere between 8 and 10 times.  I lost track.  So when morning came we promptly moved over to Danny's parents house in an attempt to not infect the other kids.  Summer took a 4 1/2 hour nap that day!

Poor buddy just wanted to play.  He got it a couple days later, but not nearly as bad thank goodness!

Danny and I both had just a small touch of it but got feeling better really fast and thought it would be just fine to not cancel out on the plans we had to have people over for supper on Saturday.  Turns out there might have been some gunk still floating around our house because it sounds like we may have passed it on to several kids and adults who were there.  HUGE WHOOPS AND APOLOGY!!!!!

Then when we thought we were finally done with all the puking, Summer choked a little bit on some candy at church and emptied her stomach contents all over her carseat.  So it was a fun toy for the kids to play on for a couple days while the cover was washed and dried!

2017, we miss your boring old self!
