The Summer of Sickness!!

Our house has become a giant petrie dish full of germs! The summer of 2005 may always be remembered by us as "the Summer of Sickness!" LOL For the last month I have either been taking care of sick kids or in bed myself with a fever of 102. Connor started us off and was sick for a week, then Evan got it the following week, and now I've been sick for over a week, plus Evan's gone back for round two and gotten an ear infection! There were a couple of smalls breaks in there, just long enough for us to go out into the world in an attempt to share our germs! We've had fevers, coughs, puking, pink eye, sore throats, headaches.....you name it, we've had it! I am cautiously optimistic that we're on the road to recovery now and hopefully can enjoy the remaining 3 weeks of summer vacation without incident. ((crossing fingers))

Connor has a couple of friends over today for a playdate. This is complete craziness!! I was feeling guilty that the boys have been so cooped up in the house lately so when his friends' mom called I said "Sure, bring 'em over" without even thinking! LOL Now I am sitting here thinking "what have I done!" As long as they all have fun though....right??

I feel like we haven't done anything this summer, between Keith traveling a lot and all of the sickness. So I'm gonna try and fit some fun stuff into the next few weeks before Connor (and Evan!) goes back to school. My mom is going to take a few days off so we can take the boys on some little day trips to the zoo, beach or wherever. Hopefully we can fit a camping trip or two in there too.

Well, the boys are getting wild so I'm off to preserve the structural integrity of my house...
