Dad's Night and Our Poor Sick Boy

On Tuesday night the kids had a "Dad's Night" at school and they were SO excited. It had a mad scientist kind of theme, so they got drinking cups that looked like beakers and had eyeballs in them and a drink that fizzed. Jackson got picked to go up on stage to participate in one of the experiments and Scott said it was just a really fun and busy night. When I picked up the kids from school on Tuesday, I told them we had to hurry and get home to get ready to go back for Dad's Night and Leah said, "Sorry Mom, it's just for my dad. You are going to have to stay home with Chloe." Jackson was automatically worried about my feelings and told her that wasn't nice and he reassured me that I would have the baby home with me too :) I thoroughly enjoyed my night all to myself!! I took a long bubble bath and enjoyed a good book. They should do Dad's Night once a month!!! Scott took a few pics of the night on his phone but didn't take our camera so I will have to put them on later. Daddy and Leah before leaving

So excited

Sweet Jackson and Leah cuddling on Sunday when Jackson was sick. She was trying to be a good sister and lay with him.

On Saturday morning we woke up and took the kids to the gym with us. After we worked out we went to Firehouse Subs and Jackson started acting like he didn't feel good. He just laid his head on the table and then asked if we could just go home and eat there. We got home and he went straight to bed complaining he was just really tired. After about an hour, he woke up and said he was feeling better and we decided to make a trip to Costco. On the ride there, I looked in the backseat and he was extremely pale and said he was going to be sick. We turned the car around and I stayed home with Jackson. He fell back asleep and slept for a couple of hours. By this time it was the evening and he hadn't eaten ALL DAY. When he woke up he was feeling better so he ate some cheese toast and strawberries and then went to bed. Around 1am he came to our room saying he just got sick in his bed. IT WAS EVERYWHERE. He not only got sick in his bed, he got sick all in Leah's bed, as Leah was sound asleep still :( We got everything cleaned up and Jackson and I had a not so good sleep in the guestroom and Scott slept with Leah in our room. He is much better today and it was fortunately a short tummy bug but I am praying the rest of us don't get it! Scott and Leah have already had the stomach flu this year so I don't want it in the house again. Jackson mentioned today that his best buddy, Donovan, got sent home from school this week for the flu, so I'm sure that's where he got it. Anyway, fingers crossed for a healthy and safe week!!!
