R&R

So today has been an incredibly lazy day at our house. I stayed home from church so I could get some sleep and try to knock out a 24 hour headache. John took the kids to church where he noticed Gabe had a fever, so they came home from church. Pretty much we've just spent the day sleeping and vegging out in the front room. Sometimes you need days like today to recoup and
start the week fresh - let's just hope Gabe gets feeling better soon. Poor little guy is not himself.

Gabe vegging on the living room floor - we knew he was sick when he asked me to turn off the movie because he just wanted to sleep : (

Porter getting in on some Leapster action - rare since this is usually attached to Gabe's hip. I love how his tongue is sticking out, like he's concentrating so hard.

Our friends Johnny and Shelby hosted a Japanese dinner at their house last week. One of the things they made were Sushi rolls. John is a hug fan of Sushi so he wanted to learn how to make it at home. So, after watching several YouTube "how to" videos this is the shrimp Sushi I made for dinner tonight. Delish! (Taylor, quit licking your computer screen.)

GABE UPDATE: So before typing this post I gave Gabe a dose of Ibuprofen. While typing he perked up, started talking, playing, and even eating. Up to this point he'd only had grape juice and water, he didn't want to eat anything. We were happy he was feeling better - Ibuprofen works great for fevers! Anyway, Gabe had fun Skyping with Papa and Grammy, Gabe ate a bunch of chocolate chips, had some rice for dinner, and then we put him to bed. Well, he woke up and unfortunately we saw those chocolate chips and his rice again in his bed. Poor kid was so upset that his pillow, bed, and jammies had throw-up all over them. We got him cleaned up and put back to bed. He woke up every two hours all night long, finally at 4AM I let him go downstairs and watch cartoons. That way he only bothered us every 3o minutes (every time a cartoon ended) until 7AM. Glad I caught up on some sleep yesterday because after a long night I have a feeling it's going to be a rough day. Hopefully me and the boys can all take a nap at the same time - that would be awesome! Anyway, Gabe's seems happy right now - Ibuprofen in the blood and a Popsicle for breakfast. Keep your fingers crossed that Porter doesn't get this bug!
