What a Woman!

OK. So I know this isn't the BEST Picture of me but it's the one I'm going to use because it best represents the week we just had. crazy, chaotic, and a little tacky.  And yes. The woman I am referring to is Moi!

There are a lot of things I wish I could report about last week.
I wish I could report that no one was sick.
I wish I could report that I did dishes, laundry and picked up every day.
I wish I could report that we are 100% ready for Halloween.
I wish I could report that while trying to get the last little bit of my FAV. Lotion out of the bottle it didn't go flying across my bathroom.
I wish I could report that last week was like every other week....But it just wasn't.

So last weekend (14-19) I went to my parents house. The 17th was their 30th anniversary and that was something I wanted to be there for.  We had so much fun, as only my family can when we get together. Saturday we went to the local pumpkin patch where they had a giant slide that was set up on a huge hay pyramid. I have pics but am working on the size, for some reason they're really tiny!  Sunday was the big day. We stayed home from church because Bubba had a pretty nasty cough. I made a pot roast with potatoes, carrots, and squash. That night, I got the flu. Which basically sums up our whole week. My dad took the boys all day Monday so that I could hide in their basement, sleeping and, well, have the flu. Tuesday morning I felt better, not 100% but well enough to drive. and When I came upstairs, I learned that my dad now had the flu and my mom wasn't feeling the greatest either. They boys seemed to be doing pretty well so I decided to get them home and pray it was before either of them got sick. We made it 4 hrs into our 5 hr drive home and Bear started throwing up. Luckily he only threw up twice in the car and then only 3 times after we got home. that was Tuesday. Wednesday was good. No one puked, everyone was in good spirits, I thought for sure we were done. Thursday everyone seemed good again so we went out, ran some much needed errands and saw some friends. Thursday night/Friday morning, Isaac was throwing up. J.O.Y!!! Friday night, Daddy came home from work throwing up and was down Friday night and all day Saturday. He stayed home from church yesterday because he still wasn't feeling that great.
So now we've all had the flu, our house is a disaster, and we have 3 Halloween events this week! 4 if you count our date with Charlie Brown Thursday night.
On the plus side, I made my Tutu for my Halloween costume and It.Is.Awesome!! I'm totally addicted to making them now.
