Mama's sick

I stayed up late last night watching the Virginia Tech football game.  I didn't go to sleep until sometime after midnight.

Erin got sick last night.  She went to bed really early and was up vomiting during the night.  Carter woke up a few times and I gave him a paci.  The third time he woke up he wasn't happy getting a paci so he had to cry himself to sleep.  They are getting to the point where they don't cry that long anymore before going back to sleep.

I had to get all the kids ready by myself since Erin was sick.  It's not that big of a deal, but having help is always nice.  Erin was able to feed Aubrey her bottle, but then she went back to bed.  Erin normally gets the kids clothes ready the night before, but she didn't do it last night.  I actually had to go through the drawers to get their pants and shirts.  Again, not that big of a deal, but I'm spoiled and used to having the kids clothes laid out on their dressers.

Today was my last day of work for a week.  I'm taking all of next week off.  It was an extremely busy day since everyone was trying to get me to review things before leaving.

I got to daycare a little before 5:00 and they were holding an icepack to Brayden's forehead.  He hit his head on the window sill and had a good size bump.  I told the daycare lady not to worry about it that he does stuff like that at home all the time.  Brayden seemed to be happier when I showed up and picked him up.

The boys once again barely ate any of their dinner.  They once again decided to eat dada's dinner.  At one point I had turned my head to see something that Calvin was doing.  I was probably only looking away for fifteen or twenty seconds.  When I looked back at my food I saw that all of my macaroni and cheese was gone.  I asked Brayden if he ate it and he just laughed and gave a big grin.  I could see the macaroni and cheese bulging from his cheeks.

Brayden kept trying to run by me to get to the books.  When he would come near me I would grab him and flip him over.  This went on for about twenty minutes.  Brayden thought it was hilarious.  I was enjoying myself too.  Erin was using Magnadoodle with Calvin.  Eventually Calvin wanted to get in on the fun and ran at me so that I could flip him around. 

Unfortunately I think all this horsing around contributed to the kids being very difficult to change into their pajamas tonight.  They kept trying to get away while we were attempting to change their diaper and clothes. 

After putting the kids to bed I went out to the grocery store to pick up ingredients to make chili.  Neighbor across the street is having a chili cook-off tomorrow.  Should be a good time.
