Where Have I Been?!

It's the beginning of Feb, on a Tuesday, and we met Grant for lunch at Honey's. The kids played and had a great time. They looked like this:

We go home for naps and Baron tells me his tummy hurts. Soon he looks like this - Uh oh:

You know it's not good when your 3 year old asks for the green bowl....and then proceeds to throw up for the next 6 hours :(

 

The next night (Wednesday) looks like this:

 

Yep, the twins started throwing up right before bedtime. I made a bed of blankets and sheets in the living room, had a cup of coffee at 9:30 pm and proceeded to catch throw up & comfort little ones for the next 6 hours. They were amazingly in sync with each other....Twins!  *Note ~ not shown is my poor husband being sick in the bedroom. Unfortunately for him, he was pretty much on his own. *2nd Note ~ I called the doctor to inquire for poor Maverick (it took him a couple days longer to bounce back than the other kids) and they confirmed it was the dreaded Norovirus.....YUCK!

 

I think I fell asleep on the couch around 3:00 am and the house slept peacefully until 7:45 am. We woke up on Thursday to this:

 

Which rapidly turned into this:

 

Beautiful, right?!

 

Friday the snow fall turned to freezing rain and by Saturday we woke to this:

 

AGH! Thankfully only a small branch hit the house and we didn't detect any damages. A few of the neighbors came out in the snow and ice to help Grant get the branches out of the street and we finally got everything cleaned up the following weekend with the help of Honey, Uncle Trav and Grandpa's trailer.

And finally....after everything....we looked like this:

 

What a week!
