School Days....Sick Days

Okay, so I feel bad for not posting on Maddy's first day of school, but better late than never, right??? She is loving Kindergarten so far and Colby and I are adjusting to not having her home. It was a strange almost unsettling feeling the first week, but it has gotten much easier and I really like having some one-on-one time with Colby. He is going to a Parents' Morning Out program on Tuesday mornings; his first day is tomorrow, so hopefully that will go well. It is for 2 hrs., which will be about perfect for me to get some errands done and Colby to be able to play with some other kids his age.

Last week both Colby and Maddy were sick, so we had a long week. Colby got sick on Monday with a fever that lasted until Friday and also throwing up through-out the week. Maddy got sick Wed. night and started throwing up and missed both Thursday and Friday of school. By the weekend, everyone was doing much better, so hopefully we got all of the sickness out of here for a little while!!!

Maddy is a pretty easy sick person as she will lay around and watch movies and knows how to throw up in a bowl (unless she gets sick in the middle of the night and throws up all over her bed, which is what happened last week ;-)). Colby, on the other hand, is a different story. He felt pretty cruddy and wanted me to hold him, standing up of course, most of the time. My back took a good beating last week ;-)

Needless to say, this week has started off so much better than last and I'm looking forward to getting out and doing some fun things with the kids this week!!

Not feeling good.....Maddy spent a lot of time on the couch last week:


Eating toast strips on my bed...For some reason I could only get Colby to eat them if Maddy was:
