What a day..

Picked the kids up from daycare last night..everyone seemed just fine. Two hours later Justin is burning up and not feeling so well. Thankfully he's generally okay other than a fever and some random tired, cranky spells. It seems to be whatever has been going around that is causing just a fever but (thankfully) not much else. Steady dose of ibuprofen and Tylenol is about all we can do. When it starts to wear off the kid starts burning up again.

So - no work for me today. I decided to try and take Kyle to daycare anyway because I didn't need him around the sick kid all day- and just maybe I could get some work done from home if I had just one kid. I didn't want to drag Justin in daycare with me (and this morning I wasn't for sure that he wasn't going to start hurling on me or something) so my sweet sweet friend Apryl came over and hung out with Justin while I ran Kyle in to school.  

I was reminded what wonderful friends we have. She made time to come over- was late to work for us - and when she left here she went to the store and arrived back on our doorstep with stuff for dinner tonight- and some strawberry ice cream for Justin. She went above and beyond and I really really appreciate it - and am lucky to have her as a friend! 

Justin chatted her to death while I was gone. He acted fine all morning - then suddenly was "tired" and feel asleep on the floor!

"I'm a farmer" he says..

And...out..

My lovely co-workers brought me my laptop at lunch. I had joked with Ian yesterday as we were leaving work that I should know better than to leave my laptop..as I'm just asking for a kid to be sick..and sure enough..

Since Justin was fine - other than the fever I loaded him in the car to pick up Kyle this evening. The receptionist came out and sat in the car while I went in for Kyle. And then we had a mostly pleasant little evening- lots of laughs at dinner. Kyle was having a good ol' time. 

Still...just.one.tooth.

And then it was bedtime - and the little rascal kept doing this - and screamed his head off for awhile until I finally went back in and got him to sleep. You should see how fast he pulls himself up. I've seen him do it on little things but this was the first crib pull-up. He thought he was hilarious.  He is not so graceful on his dismount just yet. Looking forward to the 1am practice round he'll likely have in his crib.

I'm likely home tomorrow..think I'll try to take Kyle in again so I can try to work from home in the morning at least - trying to finish a project! Sandy was supposed to come to town with Isabella this weekend but she decided she'd better not - she just got done with having 1 kid with this fever issue..she doesn't need another! Dave will get home sometime tomorrow night...
