Dennis and his Dad left for Europe on Friday. His Dad took him on an all expenses paid trip to England, Paris and Nice/Monocco for 10-11 days or so. In the meantime, I am holding down the fort here in VA.
Saturday, was a busy day. All 3 boys ended up having team pictures this weekend. So, we left the house at 7:45 am and got home at 4:30pm. We had each of their pictures, Colin's game and Evan's game. My Dad came to Evan's game so that I could leave early to get Logan to his pictures. Then I treated him to lunch out at Red Robin. Other than that I was on my own with all the kiddos. It went fairly smoothly considering how long we were out and Leah not getting any rest time. Both boys won their games and were excited about that. Luckily, Logan didn't have a game this Saturday! That night we ordered pizza and had a movie night, before all kids were in bed fairly early.
Sunday, Mother's Day, I was awoken to the boys bringing me their homemade gifts from school and the Colin told me that he had been up off and on since 2am not feeling well. Sure enough he had a fever. So, I had to cancel our plans to go to Carol's house for crabs and stay home with Colin. My Mom called and offered to take the healthy kids so I took her up on taking Evan and Logan. I left Leah with me because I didn't want her to be babysitting on Mother's day and I figured the boys were easy and would entertain themselves with their cousins.
Actually, my brother in law, Phil, also offered to come over and watch Colin because he felt bad that I was stuck at home on Mother's Day, but I didn't think that was fair to Julie to take her husband away from her on her special day too. I am so blessed to have such an awesome family though!
Anyway, it was good I didn't take Phil up on that because Colin's fever went up and he threw up a couple times. He then took a 3-4 hour nap. Leah and I just hung out and overall, it was a quiet Mother's Day.
My kids are hardly ever sick. They all have perfect school attendance and have never had a sick visit to the pediatrician here in VA, so I couldn't believe that out of all the days of the year he was sick for Mother's Day. But, that is life with kids.
Anyway, I enjoyed all my gifts and even enjoyed the fairly quiet day as well.
