It's raining, it's pouring...

It's raining and supposed to all weekend (guess it makes the first song only fitting). I guess that makes for a good weekend to sit inside and recover from the flu. Yes folks, Andrew and I both have the flu. It all started last weekend when Andrew started running a fever on Saturday. When our neighbor (whose house he had played at on Sat.) tested positive for strep on Sunday I took him to a walk in clinic Sunday afternoon. We started treating him for strep at that point. The dr. didn't even do a strep test (note to self: fever, sore throat, headache, flu season...at least test for the flu). By Tuesday he was feeling better, fever gone but refusing to walk when he got up in the morning saying that his legs were hurting. Wednesday morning I sent him to school, limping and all, and took myself to the doctor assuming I had strep. Wrong! I had a sore throat and a fever, but I almost fell of the table when he walked in and said it's not strep, it's the flu. What!!! I never get sick. Since I had just started the fever I was able to start taking some flu meds. After I picked Andrew up from school he started complaining that he was cold and I thought...um, that's not good, it's 80 degrees outside. His fever had returned. So, off we went to the doctor and yes he was positive for the flu too. Ooops! Guess he shouldn't been at school that morning. Andrew was sure that he didn't have the flu. He kept reminding me that he had his flu shot. Try explaining to a 4 year old that "Yes, I did say that you have to get the flu shot so you wouldn't get the flu, but yes now you have the flu". He didn't like my reasoning on that one. It was too late for him to start flu meds by that point and that lovely antibiotic was doing nothing. So, now it's Friday and Audrey's fever has begun. Hopefully we can start her on meds tonight and it will help her some. We are off to the dr now. Weeks like this are why you're not supposed to live 11 hours away from the grandparents!

Oh...and Chip...wondering if he still lives here???? Well, he is still well at this point but has stayed at work as much as possible the last 3 days and only comes home at night because he feel bad for me! And when he is at home he is walking around with a can of lysol spraying everything that he touches and staying yards away from all of us. He may be spending the weekend at the Comfort Inn to avoid us! Oh, only kidding, he won't be that lucky.

Here are a few new pictures below, taken this week prior to our flu outbreak! If you're wondering about the yoga pictures..we have exercise tv on our On Demand Cable. There are kids exercise programs and Chip showed Andrew one of the kids yoga shows. It's just about 5 minutes long and she does different stretches with them. They both love it and Andrew asked to do it every night before bedtime. Audrey likes it too and tries her best to imitate the streches. It's quite amusing to watch.

Doing some bike tricks!

Running from the geese....they're not really chasing her, I think she just thought they were.

Practing our yoga!
