Sicky sick sick sick

Yep. ALL of us. Sick. Brody was the night of the 20, Avery 25, Justin 26, Kristin 27. Here's my question.....Why do you always get sick over night? Why can't you throw up all day and sleep all night? All of us....all night...I was up for all of them. Ugh. We need Maui!

Boo Boo Bunny

So, I am posting this on both blogs. I am doing it on here because this is personal. My mom made these for us as kids. I make them for my kids. I am doing it on pintereviews too because I looked and there are pins on how to make boo boo bunnies, so even though I didn't find it there, you can!
I could write out a whole tutorial on how to make them, but there is already an about.com article on it, so I am using that.
http://familycrafts.about.com/od/easterbunnies/ss/booboobunny.htm

These were my spur of the moment no prep time bunnies. Wrestling accidents happen. I just used a rubber band and drew on them with a sharpie. Googly eye ones are cuter, but they all work!


Bleh....Literally

Poor bubba man has been so sick! He started throwing up around 5:00 last night. At 5:00 this morning I thought we were done. We both got about 2 hours of sleep. Daddy let me go back to bed for another hour or so, and then Brody woke me up by throwing up on the side of my bed. Guess we're not done.
Even in the midst of being so sick and puny Brody is such a funny kid. He was so mad at me that I wouldn't let him drink water. I mean, literally, the second the water hit his stomach it would be back out. We changed the floor pallet 3 times, each changed our clothes 3 times, carpet cleaned twice so far, and am on my 3rd load of laundry. I probably have 6 more loads and sheets!
So my dilemma today is when do I disinfect the house? A stomach bug is contagious for 2-3 days after symptoms, so if I clean today he will just put his germs back everywhere tomorrow. If I don't clean today do I just marinate in these germs? Do I clean once a day for the next 3 days, plus until 3 days after the rest of us get it? I am not in denial, I am just waiting to start throwing up. We shared water yesterday. And I was thrown up on multiple times. I am planning my meals by what won't hurt coming back up right now.
Oh and Brody wanted to go to his christmas party at school so bad he got up and put a tie on this morning. He immediately proceeded to come into my room and throw up on the side of my bed. 
Anyway, here's the cute part.


  • Sick Brody isms- "I wish I was with someone else that would let me drink lots of water and then you would come back while I throw it up."
    "My throw up is spicy."
    "Why are you trying to sleep while I am trying to throw up?"
    "When is my throw up going to leave me alone?"

The best time of the year

I am loving the holidays with the kids this year. I mean, I have every year, but this year is getting really fun. Of course the stresses are there. Shopping. Wrapping. Working. Cleaning. Planning. Knowing we will be without a big family gathering on yet another holiday. It's all fine though. I am appreciating every second I have with these precious gifts I call my kids.

We went to Nashville for the annual Gigi's Conference. Only got to spend 1 day with my family, but we made the most of it.

We played games








We went to the ranch and rode horses.
We had an amazing time at the Opryland hotel. It's absolutely GORGEOUS!

Oh, and we won an award! :)
So much to be thankful for.

This is why I had kids young

Brody has officially turned from super sweet calm loving little boy to obnoxious crazy loud non stop big BOY! Today, he wore me out. I have to work tonight. I am not looking forward to staying up all night after the day we had. I am looking forward to getting away.

Sweetness

I love how sweet my kids are to each other.
