HAPPY LEAP DAY

I know it's Leap Year, but Leap Day just plain sounds strange.
But, HAPPY LEAP DAY!\

Last weekend we had got to tend Angie's kids while she and Justin celebrated thier wedding anniversary.  Friday night Angie stayed with us while Justin was on a scout camp out.  We had fun making her cards for card club.  The kids were anxious to use the computers to play games.  Here is Kamden playing some games on my machine.


Riley and Kai decided to color while they waited their turn.


Carson is having fun figuring out some 'Shoots and Ladders' mazes.


 Did I ever say I love flowers?

 The kids wanted to see how my German 'smokers' work. They smoke by having a lite up incense cone inside. After a while we were getting overwhelmed by the smell of the smoke, so we had to put the smoker in 'time out' and let him smoke out the window.

After Carson had his bath, he decided to ham it up a little.

  

Unfortunately Riley and Kai woke up at 1:30 a.m. throwing up.  Two beds and two kids were covered in puke!  Kam picked some up from Kai and had to have his clothes changed too.  While Riley and Kai got in two different baths Warren washed sheets, blankets, clothes and floors.  I offered to do it, but he told me to go back to bed.  He knows I get sick if I don't get enough sleep.  Kai got in bed with me and generously vomited in my bed too.  By 3 a.m. Kamden was also puking.  Poor kids were so sick and poor Warren was up all night cleaning up after sick kids.  By morning Riley and Kam had some pretty serious fevers.  Kai gradually started feeling better.
After Angie and Justin picked up Kam and Riley, Warren and I went to Scott's house for Christina's 4th birthday party. We decided to let Kai go with us because he was feeling better. We also took Carson, who had not been sick and usually dosen't get sick, but . . . about 1 1/2 hours into the party Carson was getting sick too. We had to leave the party early. As we drove into Carson's subdivision I had to pull the car over quick, where he emptied his stomach on the sidewalk.  Poor kid!
