Colds in the Summer

From about Thursday to Sunday our family was sick with colds. Joey and MJ seemed to have it the worst at first. I thought I could handle it until Saturday morning when I just didn't want to get out of bed. I felt terrible. I fell asleep while the boys were playing with Mario. Mario thought I was being a wimp. I made the call to cancel the sitter we had for the night (we were going to go out with Booz Allen for a dinner and to see a hypnotist which I was very excited about). Mario was bummed that I couldn't go with him, but somehow I got the kiddos off to bed early, cleaned the house, then took a nice jacuzzi bath myself. Sunday, Mario woke up and realized he was sick. I believe he first words were, "Tricia, this is bad. I'm sorry I teased you yesterday." Then I popped him with the drugs that made me feel the best, and he got to sleep.
Meanwhile, the poor boys were getting a little stir crazy being stuck in a house with sick parents and rain outside. So, we got out the shaving cream and MJ had a blast. Good clean fun. Although, we are still working a bit on the rules and keeping it on the table.

Joey tried sweet potato. He thought it was okay, but would make an immediate "yuck" face. I was proud of myself for catching such a good action shot while feeding him at the same time.
