Barf Fest 2008 & Halloween!

Well as you can tell by my title we have had a not so great week! It all started Monday night (while Nathan was out of town for work) and Abby started barfing around 1 am. Oh yes, so much fun! She and I were up all night with her barfing about every 30 minutes. It was awful! Of course we stayed home together on Tuesday trying to recover. On Wednesday morning I woke up not feeling so good, but was set on going to work since I had missed Tuesday. Well I barely made it to work, stayed about an hour and was headed home for my own barfing party to begin. Abby seemed to be better Wednesday which was good, but I thought I was dying. I haven't been that sick in a long time. Just when I began to think we were getting better Wed night ... around 11:30 pm Abby wakes up to round 2 of the barfing. Ohhh, here we go again. Luckily Nathan was home by then, because I seriously thought I was going to die. It is no fun when you are sick to have to clean up your child's barf. Oh the laundry we have done here in the last week, not to mention the can of Lysol we have gone through. By Thursday morning I was calling my mom saying "HELP!" Renee & Marsha took care of us all week - Thank you both, we wouldn't have made it through without your help!
So all of this brings me to Halloween. We are still not feeling 100%, but we are feeling some better. Abby actually had 2 costumes that were given to her by her sweet cousin Kendal. So she sported each of them briefly on Friday. She wasn't very interested in the costumes or the trick-or-treating. I guess we will have more Halloween fun next year. As for Nathan he has yet to get the barf bug, which is great ...let's hope he doesn't! He found himself a last minute costume for Halloween ... He is the Asbestos Ninja!

I am sorry that you guys got so sick! I think I might have had that same bug a few weeks ago...not fun! If you are mad that Nate didn't get the bug, you can see his own barf fest on my Muddy Buddy blog posted on Friday 10/31! :)

Sorry for the barfing--we all went through that a couple of times when Avery was little! So awful! Abby looks cute in her costumes and her hair is getting long now!

OMG! Braden was up-chucking that same night...followed by John 2nights later... then Braden again... and then finally me. SO NOT FUN! Love the costumes, nothing says "high standards" like a Cowboy's cheerleader outfit!
Asbestos Ninja- love it.
