Multiple days of sickness

By -

Monday afternoon this week Alison began to feel sick. Mike took off the day Tuesday to help her feel better by taking care of the kids. On Wednesday, she thought that she was feeling better, so Mike went back to work. However she was feeling awful and throwing up again Wednesday night, so Mike took Thursday off. Alison felt better Friday and took it easy Friday and Saturday to avoid a relapse, so we think she's all better now. (Hopefully) 

On Monday night (right after Alison began getting sick) we (Mike and the kids that is) went to the tulip festival with grandparents Poulson. Elsa says that the kids had a lot of fun at it, and that she liked the dragon the best. Gideon said that he had a fun time, however Gideon also says that he was sad because he didn't get to keep the map. 

On Wednesday we did chair soccer for activity dudes, which is a game where each person has a chair that they have to defend and everyone tries to kick the soccer ball and hit everyone else's chair to knock them out of the game.

On Thursday the Poulson's invited us to go to the temple open house, so we went with them. Alison was sick enough that she didn't go, however everyone else enjoyed it a lot. Rea happened to lose her glasses at some point in the process.

Friday evening we had a ward fundraiser dinner/auction and the polsons and Rogers came over to see that. Rea was in charge of planning the activity. It went fairly well.

On Friday evening the polson's invited our kids over for a sleepover, so the kids went to grandparents house and Alison and Mike fixed a plumbing issue that just showed up in our bathroom.

Saturday we got the kids back home and made swedish meatballs for dinner because that is what Elsa picked. 

On Sunday we went to church and then to family dinner at the Brown's house. We got to talk with the Browns and Bobby and the Plastows and we had a fun time.

This week we have been busily trying to get ready for christmas. We have all of the presents that we need and Alison did all of the shopping, so really we're pretty close now. On Wednesday Mike was able to use some volunteer time off to go to The cannery at welfare square and help them can applesauce. He ended up canning about 15,000 pounds of applesauce. It was good, and he appreciates that guys work pays him for it. On Wednesday we all went to the church because the activity dudes and young women (and men) were having a caroling activity. We had a fun time going around and singing and then ate cookies and drink hot taco after. Gideon and Elsa ended up going home early with Alison. Thursday after dropping the kids off at Grandma Julie's house Alison went all over the entire valley to every store that exists in order to buy things in preparation for Christmas. (Alison wants me to add that it was only actually four stores.) Despite having gone everywhere she was still unable to ...

Another week has passed. Alison got a new bike this week. She is trying to figure out how to bike around four kids, and was hoping that having a bike with a higher seat would allow her to attach a trail-a-bike to it, which would mean that she could carry two kids along behind her on her bike. It doesn't seem like it is going to work, however, and she might end up just hauling the kids in the bike trailer like in previous years. Wednesday was Rea's date night. She chose to have a fire, read books, and have a dessert. It was fun. This week Rea and Sara went to theater camp to prepare for a play that they put on on Saturday. It was The ugly duckling. They said their lines clearly, and spoke toward the audience most of the time. They did very well. At the same time, Alison, Timmy, and Gideon waited outside for them, and got good naps. Grandpa Mike and Grandma Sheila came over to Utah this week, so we were able to spend some time with them on Friday and Saturday. We watc...

In which we blacken someone's name

Last Sunday after we wrote our blog post Rea received her patriarchal blessing. The patriarch was not far away from our home, and she received a nice blessing. The patriarch's wife acted as a stenographer, and they delivered a text version of it to our house a few days ago, so she now can read it when she wants to. The Dalyias came over on Monday and the kids all played. They had a lot of fun and apparently ate a lot of mints as well. Wednesday was a very busy day. In the morning Alison and the kids went to the Poulson's house and then Mike took Sara to her acting class. Next, Rea went to the temple open house, and Alison took the kids to her presidency meeting with her, and then Mike took Sara back to her activity and grabbed the kids. Here's hoping that we can avoid that busy a day for at least a few weeks. Gideon had a lot of fun at Sullivan's birthday party on Thursday. They jumped on a trampoline, ate pie, played a lot of games, and ran around, so it sounds like it...
