Spring break!

Aiden loves to bake. He reads cookbooks all the time and looks for things that he thinks would be fun to bake. When we go to the bookstore to get books for the boys, he often passes by the magazines and wants to look for new recipes. How funny!!! For Christmas he got a cooking set with an apron, chef hat, measuring cups, spoons, etc. in it. Pictured above are Riley and Aiden making muffins.

I have been on spring break all week. It has been a very busy week and not a break at all.

The boys and the new puppy have been keeping me very busy. The puppy has pretty much been going to the bathroom outside and hasn't had an accident in the house for a couple days. We are on top of him and bringing him out a lot. We are also learning the signs of when he has to go out. I never thought that he was going to be as much work as he has been. It's like having a little baby in the house again.

On to the boys. On Thursday, Riley got the stomach flu again. He hasn't really been over it since they first got it in February. On Friday morning he woke up throwing up and having to be in the bathroom. I was on my way to school and ended up turning around to bring him to see his pedetrician. They took some blood and are doing a bunch of different tests on him. We suppose to be collecting some samples...but are having a hard time getting enough of what we need. Their pedetrician thinks that they may be kids that may just take longer to get over having the flu. She said that some kids get really sick and throw up a lot in a 24 hour period and some get sick and may be for a couple days. Ours get sick in the morning and are fine and then a week later, they get it again. This could go out for weeks. Remember last spring??? NOT FUN!!! Aiden woke up on Saturday throwing up. He has also been in the bathroom a lot. It seems like one gets it...gets over it and then the other one gets it again. Today I thought that we were going to be able to go out and run some errands. Riley said, "I thought we were just going to stay home." I said I thought we would just run out a little bit. He said, "I thought we were just going to stay home...so I could get to a toilet quick if I needed to". So, for now...I am hanging out at home with them and am running my errands when Jamma gets home. I have gone through a lot of my clothes and through the boys room...so staying home is probably a good thing. I have some pictures to share...unfortunately, the Easter Egg dying and the Easter pictures will not copy! I'll try later!
