Opposite of Yesterday

Yesterday we enjoyed the sun and being outdoors.
Today we stayed inside all day long.
No fun.

Last night after I was done blogging, Bracken had made popcorn and we were settling in bed to read and eat our popcorn.  I decided I wanted a drink of water to go with it. I got the drink of water and as I was walking back to our room I checked on our kids. I always have to check on my kids before I go to sleep...no matter how much I convince myself they are okay, I still have to go look.  There was a REALLY bad smell when I went into Hayes & Kamri's room.  They were both zonked but as I looked closer Hayes had vomit all over himself but was so tired he had fallen back asleep.  GROSS!

I had to wake him up and bathe him. Bracken took all the sheets and blankets off and washed them and remade the bed. We gave him a bowl to use just in case, We climbed back in our bed and he started throwing up again. He made it in the bowl that time but we brought his mattress in our room so we wouldn't have to go running across the house at every sound.  Got him situated, got back in bed, almost asleep and we hear Kamri....Ugh!  Used our teamwork again and got Kamri bathed, the sheets cleaned. Pulled her mattress in our room.  Hayes was assigned to me, Bracken was assigned to Kamri.  We joked as we climbed into bed that now Lyla needed to barf to round out the story.  Luckily she didn't.

Kamri slept through the rest of the night. Hayes ended up throwing up 8 times. He kept track. He likes numbers.  I felt so bad for him, he kept saying Mom, I don't want to throw up!  and told me "I'm only going to eat healthy food from now on!" (if only that were the truth!)

I started feeling sick about 3 a.m. Hayes started feeling better around 8 a.m.  It was a LOONG Night!

Today Bracken stayed out in the front room with Lyla while the other kids and I were quarantined to the bedroom. We watched two episodes of Star Wars and High School Musical. Betcha can't guess which child chose which movie. .  I felt nauseous every time I sat up so Bracken had to take care of all of us.  He was also working on his Bar application in between stopping Lyla from crawling into things and putting things into her mouth that she shouldn't. Hopefully they don't get sick It was a LOOOONG day for him.

I'm feeling better now and the kids were feeling good this afternoon.  So here's hoping Bracken & Lyla don't catch it and we can enjoy our Saturday!
