The stomach bug....

It was a good weekend except for the fact that Junebug got the "stomach bug." Friday night we had a wonderful meal and great time with some friends.. the best homemade meal I have had in I cannot tell you how long (no, I did not cook it!)..then about 3:30 Saturday morning June started throwing up. She was miserable and looked so pathetic. She threw up about 6 times and quit by noon. The only bad thing was she did throw up on Zach as he was picking her up and it did get all over his face and he claims touched it mouth... so I have one baby screaming bc she is scared from throwing up and another one "gagging" and telling me he is now going to throw up! (he does have a weak stomach) That was not all, she then managed to have one nasty diaper all over him, somehow it just shot out the side?! So, again... the "gagging" and yelling at me " I need help!" started all over. Zach is not a good nurse.. in fact that was one of the things after we got married at we had to "work through." Growing up, when I was sick my dad always took care of me.. he waited on me, had my favorite ice cream, sprite with crushed ice, a cold rag for my forehead, a bell to call him if I needed him, and whatever else I needed. Apparently, Zach did not get the same treatment bc he does not have one "nursing" bone in his body! So now the compromise is when I am sick... yes, I still call my dad and we both are happy! (He thinks it is ridiculous that someone would wait on you when you are sick! So, maybe my dad spoiled me... I will do the same thing!) So, to anyone who gets the stomach bug, it looks miserable for about 24 hours then it seems to settle down. June is doing fine now, and back to her old smiling self.

Today we decided to plant flowers in the front yard and clean out the beds... that is like a major workout! I had no idea one little bed would be such a pain in the butt! It does look better, but we have a long way to go and I am not sure when I will get motivated to do that again.
Wyatt had a birthday party this afternoon for his little buddy Noah. He has a pirate party and it was adorable. Amber (Noah's mom) is Martha Stewart (but so much cuter!) she goes out of her way to make sure ever detail is covered. She is so creative she does everything her self...I hope she writes a book bc I would be the first on in line to buy it. It was a great party, the kids has such a good time. I love birthday parties in the late afternoon bc it wears Wyatt out and makes it easier at bedtime to go to sleep!
