We've Been Hit

Bug Update:
Start below if you haven't read this post yet.
Besides some low-grade fever in both boys (and LOTS of laundry) we seem to be doing a little better! Pedialyte has been our friend. Landon has kept everything down so far today, not that he's eaten a lot. Reid has only managed to keep down half of what we've given him and has had some dispoopsia. I'm amazed at how great their attitudes have been during all this. If it were me, it would be completely different!
Landon and Daddy played the piano this morning...one of their favorite things to do together! Reid got to enjoy a little applesauce and a few puffs. Unfortunately, we saw it all again almost an hour later! :( My favorite is the puff stuck on his head....
We've Been Hit
For the most part, yesterday was a great day! We spent a lot of time outside enjoying the nice weather. NiNi and G-Pa came out for a visit and dinner. After dinner, the boys were playing Wii when Aaron noticed much of Landon's dinner was laying at his feet. Of course, we were hoping this was just a fluke, but about 20 minutes later we realized the bug that so many of my friends had talked about had now made a visit at the McGrew home. My mom and I decided to give the boys a bath. It was during this time that I realized when you have more than one child, the bug does not play favorites! Every bit of Reid's dinner (green beans and cereal) came up in the tub. Needless to say, the bath was over! The boys camped out in our room on pallets. It was a pretty rough night and before the morning, neither boy was in the same pair of PJ's or on the same pallet that they started with. It did seem to hit Landon a little harder than baby Reid. Let's hope this is just a 24 hour visit from our dear bug friend!
This is from ealier in the day. The boys were racing in the driveway!

I had recently ordered this nap-mat for Landon and it had just come in a couple of days ago. I didn't know we would be using it so soon. Unfortunately, it only lasted about 15 minutes until it took a trip to the wash!
I told Landon to close his eyes and go to sleep. He made it so natural looking for the camera!

I'm sure many of you have already experienced this and if not, be ready! Apparently it's pretty potent. Every one of the kids (and a mom) that we had a playdate with on Friday all ended up with it Saturday night....except the one who already had it last week....I won't mention any names about who might have started this! You know who you are!!

Oh no!!! Dr. Granger assured me last Saturday that Korben was no longer contagious! I'm sooo sorry! Ugh. I know how awful that stuff is... on the kids AND mommy! By the end of the day, I was was to stop trying to keep up with all the washing and sanitizing and just trash everything and start over with fresh new stuff! I hope everyone feels better SOON!!!!

What a way to break in the new nap mat! We're puke-free so far today too, so we'll just have to see how the rest of the day goes. Hopefully we're all on the mend!
