Sick House

Sorry I haven't had much of a chance to post lately but this had been a crazy week for us! On Sunday night Graham got the stomach flu, which resulted in him staying home on Monday, which was also my first day with the kids! On Monday night, Graham and Payton were sick leaving me to clean up a lot of messes alone until 3:30 am :( Payton had to stay home on Tuesday. On Tuesday night, I got the stomach flu and had to stay home Wednesday on only my third day of school! I crawled into work on Wednesday night for curriculum night only to get a phone call on the way there from my mom saying that Payton was throwing up again! Ughhh!! So....Payton and I stayed home on Thursday, the sick caring for the sick. Needless to say we watched a lot of Baby Einstein and even a little bit of Cinderella:) We all went back to work and day care today and are hopefully on the mend. I will have some pictures this weekend because I know there are some on my camera just waiting for me to upload! Hope you all have a great weekend and don't get this crazy virus that unbeknown to me is "going around"!

Funny Picture

This is just a funny picture that Becky took of Payton's the other day. He loves to put on hats and was insisting that I put Mia's bow on his head! Needless to say, Graham hated this picture but I thought it was cute. Enjoy!

This past weekend we spent some time together, just the 3 of us. It has been so crazy lately that we needed some alone time as a family. We decided to take Payton to the Children's Museum in Naperville. Payton had been there already with my parents but neither Graham nor I had been there. We had a great time and found out that 2hrs was just the right amount of time. Payton loved the water table and the music room the best.

I started back to work this week and the transition couldn't have been smoother! Payton loved seeing his friends Jessee and Gracie and was just as excited to see his babysitter Donna. This week has been hell for me due to the fact that we don't have air in our school and with no kids I am sweating my butt off. I can't imagine what it will be like Monday when the 27 kindergartners come running in:(

Rubber Ducky!

That was the theme this weekend for Alyssa's baby shower. It took place on Saturday afternoon and almost went off without a hitch, if only the cleaning ladies wouldn't have pulled a "no show" the morning of the shower:( Anyways, we got their house cleaned up just in time and had a great shower regardless! Looks like Alyssa and Andrew have just about everything they need for the baby and then some. It always amazes me how much a little baby needs:)

Here are a few random pictures from the last couple of weeks. Some of the pictures were taken by my parents when they watched Payton and some were more recently. We really haven't done much of anything since we have been back. Unfortunately, Graham's mom ended up back in the hospital with some blood clots in her lungs but the great news is that she is getting better each day and will hopefully not have to spend more than a week in there. Today we are heading to Andy & Alyssa's house to spend some time with Graham's Grandma and her two sisters. They came in for Alyssa's shower but she decided to move it til next week so her mom could hopefully come. Graham and I are taking Payton to the Children's museum tomorrow so I will hopefully have some more pics.
