The joys of a large family....

This past week has been interesting to say the least. Aneika came home with the gastro bug last weekend, ( hence no pictures),Henry got it a few days later... and then nothing. And I thought great all my disinfecting and cleaning has paid off!! Then Sunday night Lilly and Nathan came down sick and then at midnight Jakob and Katie-Lynne started.... So we all had an all night pyjama party in in the lounge room!! I keep reminding myself when this happens and they all get sick at once, "At least it won't be dragged out for weeks and we get it all over and done with in one go." Thankfully Jason and I stayed well, although by Monday morning we were feeling a little worse for wear.
Today everyone finally returned to school, and I thought great peace and quiet... then at lunch time I received a call from Queechy High asking if I could come and pick up Nathan!!! He had gashed his knee open on a locker door leaving a good size hole in it!!!
I wonder what is next.... peace and quiet?? Where's the fun in that??

Agreed no fun in that. Occasionally I don't mind a break from the fun though. Keep up the good work guys!
