It's hard for me to believe that 2011 will be over in a couple of short days. The years are certainly flying by.
- Allie had her last Brownie meeting of the year. They are gearing up to sell cookies. Allie has a big goal, but after last year, I'm not sure I can handle all those cookies!
- Jake gave his biography speech. He had to be Lou Gehrig for his speech and tell all about Lou like he was Lou.
- Allie gave her biography speech on Helen Keller and presented her poster.
- The kids had their school winter party. Allie began to not feel so good as her party started. So, we left and sure enough she had the stomach flu.
- I got the stomach bug on our first day of break. Mine didn't last very long. Whew!
- I got my hair colored and love the new color with NO grey!
- Scott ended up with the stomach bug for almost 48 hours. He was feeling better by Christmas Eve night.
- Jake went to basketball practice and when I picked him up, he said he must be out of shape because his stomach was hurting. Since he had the stomach flu only 4 days before this, I didn't think much of it. He immediately fell asleep on the couch. He awoke an hour or so later vomiting everywhere. UGH! He had the bug twice in less than a week. He laid pretty low on Christmas Eve.
- We decided to cancel our Christmas Eve/Day plans with my parents, brother and his family. We told them all to stay home to avoid the sickness going through our family. I was bummed.
- We enjoyed a very relaxing & quiet Christmas here, just the 4 of us. Everyone was feeling normal again. The hit gifts were an Xbox 360 for Jake, a Kindle Fire for Allie, UGG boots for me and a gun for Scott. We were also blessed with many more things.
- The kids and I went to the Quad Cities the day after Christmas to shop for bargains with my sisters. Allie joined the girls while Jake helped Michael with the little kids. We also got together with my parents for pizza.
- Allie started complaining she wasn't feeling well again. This time it was a headache. I took her temp after a few hours of complaining and she had a fever of 102. Here we go again!
- Jake played in a scrimmage with his old ball team. What fun.
- Jake went to the rec and spent the night with his friend Nick.
- Allie and I have done some more shopping/returning.
