Is It the Swine Flu?

Q: What is worse than being up all night with a sick child?
A: Being up all night with a sick DOG!!

Do dogs get the stomach flu? or could it be...

~the entire roll of bubble tape she ate last week?

~the dirty sock she chewed a hole in?

~the baggie that she ate yesterday?

~the candy bar that she climbed up on top of Camry's desk to get?

~something in the neighbors cat food that didn't agree with her?

~the stuffing out of Jace's favorite bear?

or...

Maybe it's the Swine Flu?

Whatever it is I hope she gets over it soon! Not only is this a completely disgusting experience but it's also sad to see how bad she feels when she throws up all over the carpet. Poor baby!

Auntie Laura wins the prize although some of you had some great answers that are definitely worse than a sick child...or a sick dog!

Spring Break

This Spring Break we traded in our flip flops for our snow boots which was kind of a bummer...but a week off of school and work none the less.

On Friday we headed to Blanding for our traditional Easter Weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Halliday. Waking up to soggy/rainy/mud on Saturday morning was quite the disappointment! Camry's eyes welled up with big tears when I told her we weren't going on our picnic to Recapture Pockets. There was just no way the minivan was making it out there in the mud! So off to the North Chapel we went for Easter Picnic indoors

When did my sweet boy grow up? This year he was feeling a little "too cool" to participate in the egg hunt. Too bad his Mom forced him...he may have even had fun!

Look at Easton trying to hate the egg hunt! ha ha ha

The rule was that you could only gather 10 eggs to start with so that everyone for sure had at least 10. Jace was real careful about how many eggs he had!

Here is Jace with his 10 eggsCamry is so cute with the little kids. Sophie loves her to death! They had so much fun gathering eggs!Easter morning the Easter Bunny found us at Grandmas!

To top off our cold and dreary Spring Break the kids and I went to see Monsters vs Aliens in 3D. Great movie!

I think we all had a fun week...bad weather and all. Now we just have to wait for Summer to arrive!

Maybe...

Maybe if I change my blog background I'll get excited about it again......

Popcorn Horder

I had a "light bulb" moment tonight.

Everyone knows how much I love popcorn...well I had no idea that I actually had a problem until tonight! Yesterday afternoon I saw that our gigantic Costco box only had 1 bag of microwave popcorn left inside of it. Last night the kids watched a movie and asked if they could have popcorn, "Nope, not tonight" (selfish I know)

Tonight I went to grab that bag of popcorn. GONE! ...No Way...I seriously panicked! As I'm considering walking the block to Laura's house to borrow some (don't think that I haven't done this more than once) I remembered I had seen a bag in my end table drawer (for real). So I run upstairs....sure enough there is one in there! I was a little disappointed cause it was only a mini bag, but hey better than nothing. As I'm popping up my mini bag I started thinking, "there has got to be more popcorn in that pantry somewhere". So I went on a search. I found another mini bag in with the taco seasoning! Jackpot!

This is when I realized how funny the whole thing was! Oh my gosh I'm like an alcoholic stashing my booze around the house!

I'm going to get a grip...tomorrow...right after I get back from Costco!!
