(Grandpa Smith's nickname for Cruz, and Cruz writes it for his name all the time)

My little guy was sick yesterday. It's always sad when kids are sick and Cruz just couldn't keep anything down. In fact, most times he wasn't sure "how" he was going to be sick he just was. And as bad as I felt for him I was so happy to be able to take the day off and spend it with my kids again. So the day I spent washing sheets, shampooing a bed, laundry, washing a bowl out, and wiping bums and rubbing Cruz's back as he fell asleep while still answering the business line and......IT was all worth it.

only for the strong in stomach

Afternoon church always throws me off. It's hard to get lunch in because you are also trying to get everyone ready. By the time you come home, everyone is starving. Sunday nights are usually leftovers. Yesterday was no exception. (Kirsten finally asked yesterday, "What happen to Sunday dinners and why is it always leftovers?") Everyone chose their own meal, but McKay took it an extra creative level. She wanted some of her favorite foods. Her concoction was chili with pickles and soggy tortilla chips. I'm just glad none of the other kids thought this was the cool thing to do.

And now, with my turn of being sick and battling the stomach flu today, this is the most unpleasing picture I can think of and it makes my stomach churn that much more.

Is there any other weird combos out their that you or you kids like?

So sad....

Kirsten and Cruz were so sick this past week. Although the quietness in the house was a little peaceful, except for the fact that after this picture Katanya got their "barf bowls" and started to pound there heads. I guess she wanted someone to play with.

P.S. Yes, Cruz is asleep with one eye half open.
