I had grand plans for this weekend, but it turned into a lot of nothing. We’ve been saying we should go try out the toboggan run at Pokagon State Park for several years now, but never have, so I decided that this shall be the week we do it. We even went so far as having the kids call friends to see if they could go with us. But the Boschain kids were all sick and Luke had a prior commitment so we were just going to go ourselves…until Alex started having a stomach ache later Friday night, which is how Missy started earlier in the week. So we decided it would be better to do the toboggan thing some other time. The stomach ache receded by Saturday night without any barfing, but then Beth was getting sick too. The weekend turned into 2 days of TV and video games for everyone. Oh well, I got to watch what’s probably the last Brady/Peyton game, and Peyton won it. As I mentioned, Missy was sick earlier in the week; she stated with the stomach ache Tuesday evening and we were smart enough this time to get out some totes to stack a wastebasket on so she could throw up into something during the night if there wasn’t time to get down her ladder…good call…so she missed school on Wednesday. I came home from work Wednesday to find her lying on the couch binge-watching “Dr. Who” on Netflix. Beth’s birthday was Thursday, the last one she’ll ever have (49, OMG); I got her an ice cream cake coming home from work and found that she had already picked on up herself…so we have a lot of ice cream cake…and the kids and I got her some more of those Home Grown animals. The kids were supposed to go to a birthday party at the Boschains Friday night, but Ben is sick so it was postponed, so we just wentout for sushi Friday night. Then the weekend.
