Look on the Bright Side

A stomach bug descended on our house this weekend. Not fun. And surely not my first choice for how to spend the weekend. We had to cancel on a birthday party and our small group meeting. But, instead of dwelling on the bad, I'm going to try to remember the good things of this weekend.

1. Since we all got sick on a weekend Walter didn't have to take a day off work (good thing because he used all his days off for his surgery recently).
2. Walter got sick 18 hours after me so we were kind of able to switch off with the kids.
3. Wesley, aside from a few interesting diapers, managed to miss the bug.
4. Xavier never got sick in his bed or on the carpets, only on the hardwood floors. They are soooo much easier to clean up!
5. We had plenty of fun stuff for Xavier to watch on the DVR. Great way to keep him occupied and calm when we could barely stand up! Walter and I also watched Anchorman. Very funny!
6. The kids napped together both afternoons which meant Walter and I could nap too!
7. My mom brought us get well goodies and juice to hide the nasty tasting Pedialyte for Xavier.
8. Once he was feeling better, Walter changed all the sheets and did ALL the laundry (be still my heart!)
9. I really didn't have to cook the entire weekend.
