Amanda was in Reston, Virginia for work earlier in the week - Chad came down with a horrific stomach bug - so lucky Grammy got to go to Overland Park to stay with the kiddos for a few days! Yay! They were so happy and so surprised to see me walk into Y-Care to pick them up Tuesday afternoon. It warmed my heart. That evening we went to Burger King for dinner which they enjoyed. We made cinnamon applesauce Christmas tree ornaments which was a lot of fun.
On Wednesday, they got to sleep in a bit because I took them to school later than usual - again a hit! I picked them up as walkers. Peyton did her homework - we ate leftovers for dinner - and then Peyton went to religion class.
On Thursday, I took them to school later again and then came back to Clinton. Amanda was flying in around noon and would be able to pick them up from school. Chad went back to work on Thursday.
Around 7:30 p.m. Thursday evening, I came down with the dreaded stomach bug which could only be described as vicious! I was up all night with the bug and rested most of Friday, feeling a little better by Friday afternoon.
We enjoyed our Mintun/Arthur/Todd Christmas gathering on Sunday, December 10 at our house. Mark had been catching a lot of crappie and brought fresh filets for Mary to fry for lunch. We had a great meal, there was a wild game of hot potato, the kids and I put the ribbons on our cinnamon applesauce ornaments, played our annual Saran Wrap Ball game, sang Happy Birthday to Jesus and had a wonderful day.
We are blessed.
