Surprise!

Last night Kendall and I did our normal bed-time routine. Put the kids to bed, turn off the lights and head downstairs to exercise while we watch a movie. There were a couple of variations though: The kids got to bed at 9:00 instead of 8:00, Avri came downstairs (we have no idea why), and I didn't exercise, I instead laid on the LuvSac trying not to throw up. At 11:30 when the movie was over we went up to go to bed and I could hear Talmage talking. I went to inspect. Surprise! Avri and Talmage were both still awake and "reading" in the book nook. What kind of irresponsible parents let their 2 and 3 year old read until 11:30 at night?

Next surprise: This morning at 5:00 I woke up to Avri crying in her bedroom. I went in to calm her down but instead got hit by the overwhelming stench of puke. For the next 45 minutes I bathed her, re-dressed her, pulled her bed apart, made up a new bed on the couch and got her all settled in. I got to bed just in time for Kendall's alarm to go off for work. Ugh.

So today we are taking things easy. We've all been sick, again, and I'm getting very tired of it. But there is a bright side. I've lost 5 pounds since Thursday and I took this funny picture:(Avri with the bowl that I gave her to throw up in.) Glad that I can still laugh when I feel so yucky!
