Waiting...

After 3 weeks of traveling for me, I get a week off and am working from home this week... And what better way to welcome me home than the stomach flu :-) Declan work up this morning with it and now Andy and I are just waiting for the rest of the kids to get it (and possibly both of us too). I can't explain the feeling that we get when one gets sick and we just know that we have 3 more to go... It's like every bit of food that the girls ate today, I thought to myself, well I guess we'll be seeing that again... It's like a ticking time bomb... So it's not a great feeling :-) I thought for a moment that perhaps it wasn't going to be so bad because Declan only puked a few times this morning and hadn't for several hours. But then he just did. So now I'm anxiously awaiting vomit sounds from the monitor. Awesome. I'd like to say we might be lucky, but this isn't the first rodeo that Andy and I have been too and we both know it's just a matter of time.

On a brighter note, we did have a fun weekend up until this morning. Andy took Grandma Mary to the airport and then Declan and I went to the mall and had some bonding time... He really wanted a wallet, so that's what we got. And he hasn't let it out of his sight since... I mean, really he hasn't.

Declan and I at lunch with his new wallet!

And in not so happy times this afternoon, sick in bed, but still with his wallet...

Bria getting ready for the game with her cool new headbands on...

And the girls in their favorite place in the house, the laundry room... Not sure where they will play in the new house. L to R: Stevie, Aven & Bria.

While we were out Declan wanted to get he and his sisters new sun glasses, so we did. Here is Stevie and Bria trying them on with Declan...

Still having fun in the laundry room.

And while Declan was in our bedroom, the girls still wanted to have fun, in the laundry room of course... Although Stevie had had enough with all the fun...

I've been trying to take more videos lately... Here's a cute one from tonight... The girls got ahold of the TV remote and turned the TV off. We kept asking them who did it, and no one ratted Aven out (cause I'm pretty sure she did it). Stevie was telling us a story and Bria kept saying "I don't know"

The girls love getting rowdy right before bed, it's hard not to laugh and think it's adorable, because honestly it is. And it's one of the rare times that they all get along really well. I think it's their way of making sure they extend their bedtime... Please ignore my horrible singing voice (and laughing)...
