Sickness all around

So I called into work last night since I started puking. Then at 10pm last night we were awaken to the sounds of Joey screaming. He had puked all over his bed. He continued to wake up like 5 more times to puke and quickly go back to sleep. Today has been better as far as puking. But Joey and I have just laid on the couch.
Kev was nice enough to call into work to take care of us. He was helpful. He prepared meals for Luke and kept the Joe Man and myself supplied with drinks.
Hopefully tomorrow things will be better.

Washing Machine in Overdrive

Monday morning Luke was playing in Joey's room and he threw up everywhere. I got him cleaned up and then Joey's room cleaned up. Luke went to take a nap and then he never ever acted sick again.
All day yesterday we ran around and he played and acted fine. Sometime during the night get sick and threw up all over himself and his bed. The boy just went back to sleep. So before Kev left he went into check on him and found him like this. So I got him up and got him in the bath and threw all of his stuff in the wash, including his blanket. Of course, the loss of the blanket made everything worse.
The good news is the blanket is clean and dry. He is hanging out on the couch with a little Kool-Aid.
Hopefully, Joey won't get this.

Brunch

We had a MOMS Club brunch today.  I discussed with Joey how brunch was like lunch and breakfast together.  He thought that was funny. 

 

We got there and Joey run to play with the kids.  Luke hung with me for awhile.  Believe it or not he always acts shy for just a minute or so and then he takes off.  Luke was very happy to eat.  Someone brought this super yummy french toast casserole that Luke would have eaten the entire dish.  In fact, when she left and took the dish he cried.  She is suppose to send me the recipe.  After eating, Luke played.  He was very interested in the twin 4 month old boys.  Their mom ask Luke if he was a baby.  He answered very quickly with "MomMom's Babee!"

Joey played more than he ate.  He did eat quick things that he could throw in his mouth.  He played mostly with Ben and another redheaded boy named Addison.  Joey took his batman mask and his spiderman cape.  Ben is very impressed with pretend, so he loved it.  Joey shared some, but he wouldn't share both the mask and the cape at once.

So we get home and Luke was ready for a nap.  I tell Joey it is his nap time and he explains that he hasn't had lunch.  So I had to make him some lunch.

To sum the last few days up

We have been really busy the last few days.  Of course, I wrote about Saturday, but it hasn't stopped.  Here are a few pictures of our adventures.

Playing at the beach

We went to the Pelican's game and they had a kid's area.  Luke likes to jump.

This is Paxton and Joey.  Paxton is Ted and Deanna's son they were at the Pelican's game and we just ran into them.  Of course, the boys loved each other.

Now the boys and I are getting ready to head to a brunch for MOMS Club.

Cleaning up the mess

This seems to be what I get stuck doing every Monday.  I work those 2 nights shifts and then I have no energy to get work done around here until Monday.  By Monday, it is really bad so that is what I do.  Clean, Clean, Clean and then clean some more.  Of course, today is no different than any other Monday.  Except, Luke puked in Joey's room so I am not only cleaning up the normal stuff but also puke.  I was thankful that it was Monday and I wash sheets on Monday, so he didn't add that much work for me.

I won some Pelican baseball tickets for tonight.  So I will be taking Joey to see the game.  Kev and Luke will stay home. 

Hopefully Luke will be feeling better because tomorrow we are suppose to go to a brunch with MOMS Club.  Everyone knows that brunch is great when you can also play with the kids.

I will post pictures later of our boat ride yesterday.  It was Luke's first boat ride and he loved it.

Why do we celebrate de Luna and the 5 Flags?

In 1559, Don Tristan de Luna, a Spanish Conquistador settled in what is now known as Pensacola.  A few months later a hurricane occurred and then de Luna and his people had to leave the area in search of food and other supplies.  This is why Pensacola is known as the first settlement, not the first city St. Augustine gets that honor.  Since the days of Don Tristan de Luna, Pensacola has flow 5 flags, the Spanish, French, British, Confederate, and the United States.  

This is your history lesson for the day.  Next year should be a huge celebration, because it will be 450 years.

A wonderful Saturday

This day has been full of firsts.  I worked the last two nights.  I rushed home and slept for a quick 2 hours and got up and went to the mother's day tea.  Now those of you that know me know that I am not a very girly girl and don't know much about tea and the sorts, but thought I wanted to go to this.  It was absolutely wonderful.  I had a wonderful time with my friends from MOMS Club.

Everyone at the Mother's Day Tea

This was my door prize.

After the tea I had to rush back to Pensacola to a park for the Fiesta of 5 Flags Kid's Treasure Hunt.  Joey participated in the 3-4 year old group and had a blast.  The kids had to find 10 silver coins and then they would turn them in for a bag of toys.  It was so fun to watch the kids get the coins.  Parents weren't allowed to help get the coins.
