Easter and Germs

We shared germs. Underfoot brought the germs home from school on Monday. By Tuesday evening he acted out of sorts by crying over small things. Tears are a sure sign of exhaustion from trying to be pleasant but too hard to try anymore and not acting quite himself. Underfoot decided to not go Wednesday. Good because he didn't sleep Tuesday night and neither did his Mom. Thursday he thought he should go, but the lung hacking just prevented him from doing much. As hard as we tried, we all got a touch of the bug. Fever, cough, and a really sore throat were the symptoms. Underfoot is getting better. Hurricane showed signs on Sunday. Sweetheart started Friday night. I held out until Saturday. We are grateful there has been no vomiting or diarrhea. Count your blessings, right?

Sweetheart stayed home from work on Wednesday so I could attend physical therapy. He made up his hours on Thursday evening. Since Underfoot was sick, I was going to take Underfoot with me to physical therapy. Sweetheart volunteered to stay home from work for a time on Wednesday so I could attend. He made up his hours on Thursday evening. I'm grateful for his sacrifice.

I asked Hurricane how he felt. His response- "I'm sick so I feel sick." This made us laugh. Sweetheart's sore throat makes it hard to laugh or swallow. A box of mangoes from Bountiful Baskets has been helpful with Sweetheart's sore throat. He keeps gobbling them down for relief. He had a fever on Friday night and another one today. We have taken it easy since Thursday night.

Taking it easy means we went to the temple on Friday, attended a BSA Court of Honor where Sweetheart presented the Eagle award to A. Romney. The recipient's father spoke that Scouting the law and the oath. For each of the points of the law, he named different men that exemplified that attribute. Much to our surprise, the father said that Sweetheart was thrifty.Of course, I won't get what he said perfectly but in a sense, Sweetheart does his best with what he has by using his resources to do things the best way possible. He said that Sweetheart also uses his resources to open his home and invites all to come. I thought that was a great honor.

On Saturday, we dyed eggs and attended a baptism.

We didn't breath on anyone. Sunday was Easter.

We were grateful for the time we have to reflect on the resurrection of our Savior.

 During the day someone peeped our yard. 

This means they stuck Peeps in the front yard, ding dong ditched, and ran. 

The boys thought they had the best gift ever.

Later we talked about Passover

 

and then did an egg roll.

We kept down for a lot of the weekend.

We hope you are better than we are this week.

By the way.....here is a cute picture of my Sister and her family.....

 We are really excited for their family!
