Trick-or-Treat

We had a great time Halloween Night with the kids. Here are a few pictures of our cute little witches and our smashing pumpkin!

Collin, "Come on Mom your not seriously going to let me go out in public like this"



Collin, "Help me Daddy, don't let her do it"

Happy Halloween!

Two Negatives Equal a Positive

That's right guess who tested positive for the flu. Me!



Anna became sick on Friday and I took her to see the doctor at SAMA although we could not get in to see her doctor we got to see the PA, which swabbed her for the flu and it came back negative.

Then on Saturday her fever spiked to 103.8 and we went to the ER where they did a flu test as well and it was negative.

So will someone tell me how I came out with a positive on my flu test.

I'm sure there is a rule out there in the Book of Rules for Mom's that says something like this.

Rule #1 MOMS DO NOT GET THE FLU
Rule #2 Mom's always allow their kids to wallow on you until every bit of their fever is gone.
Rule #3 If your kid needs to hark something lovely up and you don't have a towel use your gown to keep said kid from swallowing what they worked so hard to get out.
Rule #4 Never get upset when said kid refuses to take medicine
Rule #5 Do not get too upset when you have to send 4 month old kid off to grandma's because you cant touch him.


But when you hear in a small, weak, and soft voice whisper, "I wub (love) you mom" it makes you think all rules should be broken and that is what makes being a mom so great.

I'm not sure how we got here, but we did. We were all so careful to germex and wash our hands and not to play with toys in the doctor's/dentist office. But we are here and dealing with this. Getting much needed rest and some good bonding time with Miss Anna although we miss Mr. Collin very very much.

Chad has been such a wonderful help. He jumped right in there when he got the call and has been a trooper ever since. Thank the Lord he blessed me with a great husband and a good daddy for our kids.

My mom took care of Collin which I am so grateful for and Chad's mom cooked me and Anna delicious soups and dinners throughout the week, for which we are blest! Thank you both so very much!

I really didn't realize how bad I felt until I started feeling better. Hope everyone stays healthy!
