Week Ending Jan 6th

The Week of Stomach Flu & Superglue.......yep, that about sums up the week here.  At least we were still on Christmas break :)

Here are the kids on Christmas Eve:

We had a great party with some of our friends for New Year's Eve!  It was awesome - lots of delicious food and drink and so much fun for the kids who had some of their friends here as well. 

And then 24 hours later, Chunky Monkey came down with a nasty tummy virus :(  Fortunately it only lasted 36 hours - but it seemed like a lot longer.  Then Mr R came down with it on Tuesday.......we did more laundry in 2 days than I normally do in 2 weeks!
I switched up the bedroom situation on Monday.  That involved taking apart beds/crib and moving dressers, bookcases and lots of "stuff".  It took most of the day but is much better now.  When DH was away on business last September, I thought it would be great to move Chunky out of the nursery and into a room with Hugs; this way Mr R could have his own room.  In theory it should have worked, and it kinda did.  But DH thought it worked better with Chunky in the nursery and Mr R and Hugs sharing.  So that was how I spent the day - moving furniture and cleaning/organizing the rooms. 

Hugs & I headed out for some fresh air and to do some final Christmas returns on Tuesday night.  As I am standing in line at one of the stores, I get a text from DH to call home.  The first words out of his mouth when I called were "Please don't freak....."  HUH????  What is going on?  He proceeds to tell me that he was using superglue on one of Chunky's toys (a plastic toy car ramp thing that kept falling apart) and left it sitting on the table while he went to do something in the basement.....and while he was gone, Chunky climbed up on the table and starting playing with it!!!!  When DH came back just a minute or 2 later, Chunky had superglue all over his fingers!!  I think DH was pretty worried.  He put him in the bath and tried to soak it off?  We got home shortly after and thanks to the ladies over on the WTM forums, we used some nail polish remover to get the rest off. 

Here is the cause of the superglue incident:

Pretty eventful week so far....and it was only Tuesday night!!!

Wednesday morning, DH called to let me know he wasn't feeling well and was on his way home.  He spent the next 48 hours quarantined in the guest room in the basement.  I did make a big pot of chicken soup for him and brought him some Nyquil, ginger ale and the tablet so he could play Angry Birds as he recovered :)

So here we are on Friday, the last day of Christmas and the Feast of the Epiphany of our Lord.  We were supposed to be going to my in-laws to celebrate but with everyone having been sick this week - we will just stay home and keep any residual germs to ourselves :)

Everyone is healthy.  But the house??  Oh my - it is a disaster.  Better go and start cleaning up.

Have a blessed weekend and happy feast day to those celebrating today, and this weekend.
