We all had fun dying Easter Eggs this evening. Thade had a blast and was so excited to see the finished Eggs. I hope that the Easter Bunny has a fun time hiding the Eggs, I know the kiddos will have fun looking for them tomorrow morning.
Happy Easter Everybody!
I had hoped that it was going to be a nice and quiet evening last night. I had finished up all of the laundry early, and both kids seemed to be feeling much better. I brought the boys upstairs at about 8:00 p.m., and Thade was ready to get his haircut. Thade was great, and didn’t complain one bit about getting the haircut. After the cut, it was his bath-time, and he said that he was getting really sleepy. He still needed to take his medicine before bedtime, and he did so with no complaints.
He said that he wanted to watch a little t.v., and I thought cool, it will give me a little bit of time to get Dylan’s bath too. I was getting Dylan ready for bath time, when Thade started crying. He was screaming “I need to sleep, I don’t feel good”, and then he threw up all over his bed, and all over the floor. I scooped him up and put him in the bath-tub. James watched Thade while I went to clean up Thade’s bed. And oh the mess was everywhere, I had to get all of the bedding and the pillows into the wash fast. So I gathered up the laundry, flipped the mattress,cleaned up all the mess, re-made the bed, and got Thade out of the bath-tub and teeth brushed.
I still had to get the laundry downstairs and into the washer to soak, and trust me I had to grab a shower before I could give Dylan a bath, and clean up the bathtub. Yuck. Thade said that he was feeling much better and even requested some Saltines. I finally got Dylan a bath, who was pretty ticked that he had to wait that long. The flu is still giving Dylan lots of trouble, and the teething doesn’t help matters too much either.
So we called it an early night, and I got to sleep for a little bit. At 2:00 a.m. through 5:30 a.m. the Teething Tyrant was up and in quite a mood. So it was another late night, with little sleep, and two sick kids for Nico. My goodness, I hope that everyone gets better soon, I need a break 😉
I gave Dylan his first haircut today. He wasn’t too happy with me, but he was a good sport about it. All of the little curls are gone, and he looks like such a big kid now.
I’ve still got to give Thade a haircut this evening, his hair is out of control at the moment. He is usually a pretty good sport about getting his haircut at home, so we’ll see how he does tonight 😉 It looks like it is time for bath-time, better go and get back to it.
This weekend was supposed to be Thade’s First Soccer game, and a Birthday Party for Dylan, but the flu has halted all of those plans. I have to call the Coach today, and let him know that we won’t make it tomorrow, Thade’s cough is just horrible. We’ll have a little family dinner on Sunday for Easter, and tomorrow night the boy’s will dye Easter Eggs with Dad. I know they will have a blast doing that.
As for the party, it will have to wait until next weekend. I was thinking about having a little BBQ and inviting everybody to the Soccer Game too. I doubt I even get invitations in the mail, thank goodness for cell phones and e-mail. Now I really sound like a lousy and completely unprepared Mom : ( I’m still feeling so icky, and it is hard to get up the energy to get everything planned and cleaned up to have guests.
I hope that everybody has a great weekend, and a very Happy Easter too!
I finally got up enough energy and made it to the grocery store today. It was one of those have to make it trips or otherwise I would have stayed home today. The weather is so pretty, and I still feel so crappy. We are stocked up for the weekend, and I even bought a few supplies to make a Coconut Cake for Easter.
The Teething Tyrant is back to add to the grumpiness. Little Dylan was up last night from Midnight-5:30 a.m., so no sleep for Nico. Thade is doing better on his new medication, so he is resting better at night, the coughs return in the morning though. I hope that both kids get over the flu fast, they are just miserable.
I’m off to go and get the vaporizers going for the evening and get the Vicks Vapo-rub on the kiddos for bedtime. I hope to get a little more sleep tonight, I’m just exhausted.
