We were suppose to go to Montgomery today to get Mike's braces off (HALLELUJAH!) But, I started feeling sick yesterday (Sore throat, etc) and then this morning woke up feeling absolutely horrible - body ached, fever, yuckiness! Thankfully, the church office was closed today, anyhow, so Mike stayed home and took care of the boys most of the day for me so I could rest. I took a nap for about 4 hours in the afternoon - it felt so nice!
The weather was perfect and so Mike spent most of the boys time they weren't napping outside. We have a large tree in the backyard and so the boys helped Mike hang the bird house that Uncle Jack gave us.
Then mike attached a crate to a rope and hung it from the tree in effort to make a swing! ha! I am hoping this is just temporary and he will find a tire swing or something like that to put up. The boys weren't huge fans of swinging, but then would be "brave" and it would quickly turn to scared again.
Right before dinner Mike comes in the house with a REAL frog! Mike was outside with the boys making a fire in the fire pit, and Michael saw the frog and told Mike it needed to go in the fire. Well, Mike walks in holding this frog trying to put it in my face while I am cooking! Ahem! Seriously - it is a live frog! The frog went pee-pee in Mikes hand on our kitchen rug - that's what you get when you bring a frog in the house. Mike took it back outside and put it down and it stayed in one place for a long time. The boys enjoyed looking at it (from a distance) and watching it wiggle and hop and all the other "fun" things that frogs do.
Mike has already gone to bed - he is starting to not feel well either, so hopefully he can get a good nights sleep and knock it out before it gets to him. I hope he feels better in the morning!
So Mike "Rode" with Michael in hopes to make it better.
And it did for a minute - see.
Day #52: February 21, 2011
and he went back to hating it.

Haha-that's great! :) The swing part, not the-you feeling sick part. Hope you are better and that Mike doesn't get sick. It's never fun when the parents are sick, and the kids are still full of energy! :)
