ER Visit, Halloween, and Peter Pan

And this is what turned out from Lincoln's puking episodes...

I had to keep him home a couple days from school. After a while he was getting so dehydrated and tired. I went to get him out of bed to drink something and he could barely move. So I called the Dr's office and told him he had only peed twice in the last two days so he was pretty much dehydrated. So they told me to call the Instacare. They said they don't do IVs and to send him to the ER. I called my Dr office back to check with them. They also said because of his age, take him to the ER. Blah. I was not excited. And it was pretty much an expensive bed to drink some juice and eat some popsicles. 

But thanks to Grandma Great for taking the girls so I could take that little cutie in to the hospital. (Mike was on his way home from San Diego visiting Ty, but he wouldn't have made it in time). And of course, when I asked Grandma to keep the girls and what was going on with Lincoln, she told me a story of a family she knew when she was a young mom. Their little child was super hydrated and they didn't take them to the Dr till it was too late. On their way to the Dr, the child had died. So of course I was so happy about our situation;) I love Grandma Great and all her fun stories. We've got a few really good ones now.

He is feeling much better. He had to miss another day of school and was pretty weak the rest of the week, but he's good now.

Lincoln spelled out his name with tooth picks.

These two had a lot of fun. I'm pretty sure Sequoia spelled her name too, but I didn't get a picture:(

She loves playing in Grandma's backyard:)

I love that these two munchkins love to paint.He painted his gun black, blue, and red then decided that it would be best all black, his most most most favorite color;-)

Wahoo! Just can't get enough of our binky baby!!

Auri first time sucking on a sucker:)

I just love this beautiful little face.

Love her cute little pucker up face and Halloween Tutu.

And she loves the dirt!

Lincoln and his AWESOME homemade costume. He rocked it! I thought it was so cool of him to want to make his own costume and not have to buy the coolest thing at the time. He worked really hard and made this a month early. I love this little man right here!!  So many teachers and kids commented on it and said he did a great job.

Sequoia and Lincoln got to go with Grandma and Grandpa to Peter Pan (I'm thinking that Tragon and Damon went as well). These two were so stinkin cute and so excited to get to go. And Grandma said they were super good and sat still very well. Yeah! 

I absolutely LOVE Quoi's white jacket. They were darling:)

Crafting Girl Time (with Super Sick Children)

All the girls made some orders at our awesome store and I brought everything with me when I came up on a random weekend. I was so super excited to go! I picked up Lincoln after school on early out Friday, went to say goodbye to Daddy at the store and get a few more things, and head out! We made it to Panda Express in Cedar City to have lunch. As we are getting out of the van, who decides to barf all over?? Poor little Quoia. Luckily most of it made it outside the van door. After cleaning it all up, I called and text everyone to see if they still wanted us to come. They all said yes, so we continued.

Should have turned around in the beginning. Sequoia puked a couple more times and had diarrhea on the way up. It was a very long drive. By the time we made it up, Lincoln started to feel yucky. So literally the whole weekend was cleaning up and catching vomit and diarrhea. The kids were in constant baths and new pjs. But in between it all, we had our craft time from noon on Sat till about midnight. Grandpa just loved the craziness and mess all over;)

I did get to go outside right before noon and help Grandpa tear down the old shed in the backyard. That actually turned out to be the highlight of my weekend. It was fun to work hard, lift wood pieces, help saw everything into fire, and most of all... spend quality time with my dad without any interruptions. I loved it:) And it felt so good to see what we accomplished in the end. I need to go outside more often. (I love their new "old time" shed they got later.)

We brought the little ones a craft to do as well. Koban and Max got some awesome guns.

Sequoia chose a dinosaur and Lincoln an owl. They are becoming my awesome crafting buddies!

Of course, Ty Ty is always the favorite.

Anna's cute belly! She made Hazel's name. It ended up so dang cute.

Sequoia recovered pretty well; it lasted a couple days for her. Lincoln, not so much. That sweet little boy gets knocked out when he's sick. I'm surprised he even went outside to help Ty feed. He got to ride in the mini trailer so he was pretty happy.

And then he was spent.

Grandpa thought he'd take a picture of what the kids did to the house while we were busy:)

I love these girls:)

I think this one was Tenille's finished display.

I had originally planned on leaving Sunday after church, but with Lincoln still not feeling any better, we had to stay two extra days. I don't like Linc missing school, but there was no way he was going anyway. I was happy because I got to spend more time with my mom, but I'm sure Grandma and Grandpa weren't as happy. They ended up getting it pretty bad and it lasted forever. Whoops! I think Max and Annica also got it. What can I say, we are a family who shares:)

 

On Sunday night we got to burn some of the firewood I helped chop! I love campfires! One of my favorite things in life, of course I could live without the smell later. I feel really bad, because Lincoln had been asking seriously all weekend to roast something on the fire. So when we finally did, he was too sick. He fell asleep at about 5 that night on the couch and slept till morning (with the occasional barf in the middle of the night). I even tried to wake him up to come outside since I knew how much he wanted to, but he wouldn't flinch. Poor boy.

Quoi still wasn't 100% She was super quiet and kept to herself the whole time.

But this girl loved being outside by the fire! And with her Grandma Deanna.

This little boy is such a cute little stinker. He's actually a good boy and listens well, but oh my is he BUSY! He reminds me so much of Lincoln when he was this age. Linc was a handful of energy. And they seriously look like twins.

I love this beautiful face:)
