I love Easter Break! I love Easter Break!
Even though we had absolutely nothing planned, I was looking forward to NO SCHOOL for the kids and Luke.
Of course, the week kicked off with me catching the nasty flu virus from Luke.
It took me DOWN. The last time I felt this bad, was with the swine flu shortly after Wiggy was born. Of course this recent virus also came with a bad cough that is still going strong after 6 days of hacking. (I think I might just be desperate enough to get the flu shot next year--which would be a first for me.)
Kudos for Luke, who likes to take on home improvement projects with three kids in tow, while caring for a sick wife.
On Monday morning Luke rented a pump and emptied the pool to give it a long overdue scrubbing. On Tuesday the boys couldn't resist sliding around on the bottom of the pool.... and I don't know what they were thinking. Bubba and Tubbs seem to find fun anywhere they go.
Of course, they weren't very happy after they stopped long enough to feel the results of the plaster on their bellies. I think there was plenty of crying and howling the rest of the night. Live and learn.
This was Bubba's favorite activity while daddy was working:
That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....
So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
