Our Little Tom Sawyer

Saturday Jeremy dug up a bunch of concrete in our back yard. He broke it all up into small pieces so that the kids could carry the pieces. He told them that as soon as all the pieces were picked up and moved that we would take them to Worlds of Fun. That didn't mean too much to them until we went to http://www.worldsoffun.com/ and showed them what it was.
So yesterday, after school, Connor was ready to get right on it! He recruited our neighbors to come and help and got them doing most of the work. He talked them into coming back again today after school to finish the job.
We weren't planning on them getting done until June.... oops!

Best Friends

Now that Connor is in school all day it has been a hard transistion for Aiden. At first he was like a lost puppy who didn't know what to do with himself all day without his brother. Now Kayla has become his new best friend. He spends the majority of his day with her. He loves her so much and you can tell the feeling is mutual!

Today is a new day

As you can see... everyone is all better today. I still kept Connor home from school today since I wasn't really sure how he would be feeling today. Obviously, he is fine. Tomorrow it's back to school with him!

Whitney discovered the slide today for the first time. It was so cute! She was concentrating so hard to climb up the slide but would only get so far before she slid back down. She never gave up though! lol!

Just Shoot Me!!!

Things took a major turn last night around 11:20pm. Just as we're going to bed, about ready to fall asleep... we hear Connor throwing up in his bed. Lucky for me, we had Lasagna and Strawberry Shortcake for dinner last night. Uggg! So between 11:20 to 2:00am Connor threw up over 20 times. Every 10-20 minutes he was in the bathroom.

Then, around 3:00am, Aiden starts throwing up too. Between 3:00am to 7:00am someone threw up at least every 20-30 minutes. Jeremy slept on our 2-person loveseat downstairs. I slept between the boys in our bed so I could get up with each one every time they threw up. Several times I had Connor in the bathroom throwing up while Aiden was bent over a large bowl throwing up at the same time. Then as we get settled down for 10-20 minutes until the next round... Whitney would wake up and I would go feed her and come back to both of the boys throwing up again.

Jeremy had to take Eric to the airport this morning. He came back home and let me sleep until 11:00. No one has thrown up since around noon. So, I think we are over the worst of it. Needless to say, we are ALL going to bed at 7:oopm tonight!

Uncle Eric

Eric Brown was visiting this week to take the Western Board Exams for Dental Licensure. The boys took an immediate liking to him. We just got back from celebrating the end of his tests at Gates BBQ. The boys DID NOT like the spicy BBQ sauce and Whitney wasn't too thrilled about the pickles. lol!

Then... Eric tried to pull Connors loose tooth out. He totally failed! Connor actually said:

"What are you doing, Dude!"

Explanation

Ok... my last post was my first attempt at posting pictures. For some reason it did not publish the pics in the order that I put them, so it's a little confusing. But, you get the idea. These are pics of our home here in Prairie Village, KS. It is currently a work in progress and will be looking great this time next year. We've got lots of work to do but we love it!! :)
BTW - if you look closely at the pic of Whitney's bedroom you'll see her little head in there sleeping and then one of the backyard pics shows Aiden out there looking for bugs.
