Can you say diarrhea???

I'm sure you can, but do you want to?? NO!!!

Nathan has diarrhea. He has had it since Friday. Poor baby boy. Last night he threw up after I tried to get him to eat some mac & cheese. Today he threw up after Neil heated him up some pizza. Nathan's tummy ache could be the tamiflu medication he was on last week. The kids were running fevers 2 weeks ago & I took them to the DR. It was just assumed that they had H1N1, because that is what is going around. He was given tamiflu, an antiviral medicine. When Nathan had is first two 'episodes' I said "Oh Honey, you have diarrhea" He said "what's diarrhea?" To which Jessica replied "it's when your poop is watery".

Neil is feeling MUCH better! I DO believe he had H1N1. He stayed home,from work, for 3 days. He was running fevers & felt lousy all week.

Jessica came home from school on Thursday with an ear ache. She still has is today (Sunday). Fortunately I have some ear numbing drops. So between Tylenol & Motrin & the drops she is barely surviving this probable ear infection.

There wasn't any school on Friday. Friday was Nathan's last day of taking Imuran!! YEAH!! He was pretty stoked about it!!

Even though they weren't feeling really good, on Saturday the kids went to their grandma Connie's to make apple cider donuts.

Today I woke up feeling kinda yucky too. I threw up & have felt nauseous all day.

Last night I rented Princess Protection Program & Monsters VS Aliens. Last night we watched Princess Protection Program. This morning the kids & I tried to watch M vs A & both kids fell asleep.

Today as Neil was flipping channels, he came across some racing, Nathan asked if it was "Nascar or "Nashcar"? Neil told him it was Nascar. Nathan asked why? Is it "Nas-car" because they get all nasty?? LOL That was funny!!

Today I put some fake finger nails on Jessica. They are cheap & keep falling off.

I will be taking both kids to the DR tomorrow.

Halloween 2009

Here is my Prince






Here is my Princess



Here is my Princess & nephew Xander Scarecrow




I let Jessica pick her hairstyle, I gave her 3 choices, she chose this basket weave. At first I wasn't excited about it. It was harder than I thought. But when it was done it was awesome!



Here I am "The QUEEN"



Here are our jack-o-lanterns - Neil carved the cat silhouette in the moon for Jessica & I carved Chewbacca for Nathan

Eating WORMS....EwWwW...

Another late but NOT forgotten summertime moment. This summer the kids found some worms. I'm not sure whose idea it was to taste these gross things but both kids put one in their mouths. I had to run & get my camera. So here is 2 videos. Jessica just didn't want to give up on trying to get this slimy creature down. Watching Nathan react is just as funny as seeing Jessica slurp it up. So you MUST watch both videos!!

Visiting teacher brings her horses

This summer one of my visiting teachers brought her horses to my house. We were at church when she asked if she could come over to visit & she would bring her horses too!! Of course I said YES!! So, she lives 10 miles out of town. She saddled & loaded her horses. She & her dogs parked across the street in the lot. She unloaded her horses. Jessica & Nathan got to ride a horse with her & along side. She is a LOVELY lady!!! She has 2 dalmation dogs & an appaloosa horse that she shows & rides in events. Her dogs listen to her commands & follow along side the horse. It is just neat! Here is pictures & video of the FUN.

Sick & Happy Birthday

So it seems I'm always posting about illnesses. Everyone except ME (knock on wood) is sick. Nathan has been running a fever & coughing since Sunday. Jessica started running a fever last night. Neil thinks he was running a fever yesterday. I kept Nathan home from preschool yesterday. Jessica was SO upset that she had to stay home from school today. As today is her teachers birthday. She threw herself on the floor & just cried. ;( She usually doesn't cry, that is one way I know she is not feeling well, she cries. I mean I'm sure she is sad that she wont get to see her teacher & sing happy birthday to her. Neil did check his temperature this morning before going to work & he was 103!! Guess what?!?! He STILL went to work. Die Hard. I tell ya he is a DIE HARD!! Work-a-holic!! Gotta LOVE him!! And God Bless him!! So after being on the phone for an hour this morning, calling Nathan's pulmonologist & pediatrician, & public health nurse, & ALL my friends, I am gonna get them seen this afternoon in Poplar.

Pray everyone in my house gets well soon!!

Happy Birthday to Jessica's teacher, Mrs. Beyer!!! :)

Just a quick

Couple of things....

Today is Jessica's show & tell. She took her cat that she got for Christmas last year. That is what she took for her show & tell last year in Kindergarten too. She was excited to take it but then at the last minute tried to change her mind, because some kids already saw it last year. I told her that it was ok.

Jessica got her ears pierced last Thursday. I still need to take a picture to post & develop. She LOVES them!! She was wishing her show & tell would've been earlier in the week so she could've showed her EARS!!

Jessica had a check-up dr appt & chest x-ray. She is clear from the pneumonia.

Tuesday both kids got shots. Jessica got the influenza seasonal shot. Nathan got the H1N1 flu shot. Nathan & I already got the influenza seasonal shots a few weeks ago. Jessica can hopefully get the H1N1 in the next few weeks. It is only being given here to those aged 6 months to 4 yrs.

Yesterday Nathan had blood work, he got poked twice :( we have been weaning him off his medication. So the dr wanted to check his levels & make sure everything is ok.

Neil, me, & the kids went out for supper last night.

Air Show

Sidney had an air show a couple weekends ago. We watched it from our house on Saturday. These are a few pictures I took. On Sunday we went over to the airport to watch it live!! :) It was windy, windy, so windy that the skydivers didn't jump & the Canadian snowbirds (9 jets) didn't fly. They fly like 5 feet from the next jet. It was awesome!! I enjoyed watching it more than my kids did!!
