The Plague

Well a nasty ol' stomach bug hit our house again and this one knocked you out for several days.  Abigail got it first and was back to normal on Monday.  After getting sick on Thursday night, she mainly ran a high fever and didn't want to eat.  Then Emily woke us up EARLY on Monday morning very sick.  We got her all cleaned up and moved her to the couch and she basically didn't move from that position until late Wednesday.  Here she is starting to come to life on Wednesday:

 And then she actually sat up for a little while and colored:

Joe was puny for about a day and thankfully I came thru it o.k.  When he called to tell me he got sick, my heart started beating really fast and I broke out in a sweat for fear that I was going to come down with it too!  We are finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

In other news, last week I had a P@mpered Chef party at my house.  I love their products and recently met someone at our church that is a consultant.  I had the party in April because this was the host special for the month, and I must confess that I coveted this just a little bit:

 

My goal was to get enough in sales to get the host special and get this baker for free:

Did I reach my goal???  Why yes I did . . . and then some!  I was so excited!  The party was fun, I got to get to know my neighbors better, and I got some of my favorite products for free or at a deep discount. . . . a win-win people.   I got $267 worth of products for $73 . . yea!.  Here is my loot:

 

And it was fun sorting thru everyone's orders last night to see what they got.  Since Emily had a burst of energy last night after sitting on the couch for 3 days, she helped me bag each person's gift and then walked thru the neighborhood with me to deliver bags.
