Cake: A Funny Story about Al...

So, I haven't blogged in a while...

The flu has run rampant through our house. All 5 of us got one form or another of the "fun" flu this las week. I ended up being home almost all week with one sick person or another. Anyway, my funny story:

There was annother time when Emily and Carter were both quite small where we all got the flu. It was at the point that the kids were marginally better and Al and I were miserable. The kids went to Grandma's for the day while Al and I took turns at the toilet. At one point, right after Al is done. He says, "Mmm. Cake sounds good. I think I'll have a piece." Of course, you all know what happened shortly thereafter. Only Al would eat cake minutes after throwing up and enjoy it. No matter the consequences. He still enjoys a piece of cake even though...

Fast forward to a week ago. On Saturday, Al was miserably sick. Carter had a basketball tourney so Emily, Casey, and I went to watch and left Al home to suffer (get better), you get the idea. We stopped at the store on the way home and picked up stuff to make some supper. I couldn't resist the Little Debbie Valentine Hearts and sat down and ate one as soon as we got home. Carter's tournament was actually split with a two hour break in the middle. So we headed out again later.

Lo and behold, this is what I found when we got home. Cake. Al couldn't resist either. Lucky for him, this time he kept it down.
Just a funny little story I wanted to share and remember. Hopefully the flu has avoided your houses...and you can safely eat cake too!!

Lunch

Wednesday morning I told Carter I thought maybe he could try a half day after lunch if he felt okay. I told him I would take him after lunch since smells have been bothering him so much. He asked what was for lunch. So, I looked and and told him, "Oh, it's something you really like, sub sandwiches, chips and cake." Carter then said he wanted to go FOR lunch. Mind you this child hasn't eaten more than a handful each day for the past six days. But, I said okay. He actually wanted to go to school whatever the reason. For breakfast he had a pudding cup. Then Casey woke up and wanted pancakes. When Carter realized this, he wanted some too!! He ate one pancake and one waffle on top of the pudding. 2 hours later it' s about time to go into school, they eat lunch very early as 1st graders. Anyway, I asked again, "Are you sure you want to go for lunch, you had a lot for breakfast?" Carter says, "Yes, I'm still hungry right now, but I want to wait for lunch!" Amazing!!!! I was so afraid, but I took him anyway.




He made it the whole day and was back to himself, picking on Casey once they got home!!!!!


Wowie, what a sickness!! Go glad that's over!

Now we can focus on Friday's Wii party for Carter since he turns 7!!!!!!

Update

Carter did not try school today.

I made him eat a piece of toast and he promptly threw it up!!!!

Will this never end???

I think I might cry...

Sharing...

Remember I told you that we like to share around here? Well, as I am typing this quick update, I have two children asleep with their face in a bucket and one other who still has only eaten a handful the entire day!!! I wasn't sure I felt quite right earlier and Al is out of the house to a meeting. Maybe he can skip this one just by being gone...I hope so, cuz it's bad.
