back in action (at least for today)

I haven't blogged in a while bc about 12 days ago Kaleiah got sick. She got a high fever and vomitied once, the fever persisted day and night for 3 days. We kept it down with tylenol and motrin, thankfully. As always, we knew Kaden would probably get it and he did. He first got a fever and alos threw up one time the first day. He was back to his normal self after just day and a half though. Kaleiah's fever went away but on the 4th day she got a yucky cough and a runny nose. Then a few days later threw up again! Then Kaden got the cough and runny nose. This made for a very long week for me and long nights/crappy sleep for all of us. Ugh.
Just when it seemed like they were on the mend after 10 days of this crud bouncing back and forth between them, we headed to Target to pick up a birthday present for my niece. Our first outing in 10 days. The whole day I had felt yucky, like I was going to puke. I was praying I wasn't getting what they had. At Target I had to run out to the car bc I was afraid I was about to loose my lunch. The whole ride home I felt to nauseous and Kaleiah was crying and whining for me saying she wanted Mommy. I was explaining to her that I would hold her as soon as we got home but I couldn't get her out bc we were driving and BAM! SHe startes vomiting all over. She is covered, it's flying on the the floor of the van and her t.v. GREAT! What the heck!?!? No one had puked in DAYS...and what was even weirder is I ws the one who felt like I was going to throw up. And then she does out of no where. We hurry and oull over, take her clothes off and clean best as we can with wipies. A few times I almost threw up bc the last thing someone who feel like they are going to throw up wants to see or smell is vomit! ugh! We barely make it inside and I then start to vomit for the next 5 hours. From 7pm to midnight. Horrible doesn't cover it! So glad my husband was home and took care of the twins. So I was out for the count the whole next day and my amazing husband took the day off to stay home and help. I would not have been able to do anything, I am so thankful he stayed home! The next day Kaden throws up a little after he went to bed. Poor guy woke up covered. 2 hours later and it happens again. The next day and night, again. Thankfully Kaleiah was spared and slept 12 hours straight so we only had to deal with one sick child at once. That something I was extremely thankful for this time...the last time (and only other time they got the flu) they were 10 mo old and both had it for 10 days. It was the worst experience thus far in their little lives. This time was so much more managable but if you have had a sick child you know how hard it is. But today was a new day and we decided to test the water and get out of the house for a little bit.I was sooooooooo sick of being trapped inaide the house ALL week with sick kids! I needed a reason to get dressed, put on some make up and get a change of scenary.
This morning I was looking at some of our pictures from our vacation in Maui and the twins saw a picture of them eating Shave Ice. They wanted some. Well, there is a tiny, hole in the wall Hawaiian resturaunt right dow the street from us that we knew had shave ice. So we all got dressed and off we went!




I had the Manapua

Randy of course had spam musubi







I looked back and saw them sharing what was left of my drink...they were laughing and giggling :)


We went to the park for about 30 minutes and then headed home for naps. It was so nice getting out for a bit! After they woke up we headed to the Spectrum for some more fresh air and play time.

we ran free :)



We pretended to sleep :)

I am so in love with this pic, I just love how she is standing.

We played in Target :)


We played with beach balls that we got from the dollar spot at Target :)




It was so nice to feel normal again and do something other than be sick and be stuck in the house! Praying for total health to be restored back to our little family!
