Three Kids Sick

A few nights ago all three of our big kids got sick within hours of each other -- Caroline at 7pm, Howard about 8:30pm, and Tracey about 3:00am.

Caroline threw up many times, Howard threw up once and then had many messy diapers, and Tracey threw up many times... but all of that happened in the same 24 hour period, and all children are on the up-swing.

They were all sick the same days, they were all eating the same easy-to-digest foods, and they were all exhausted the same days... it was definitely messy but it wasn't horrible because we just got threw it all at one time... also it happened when my parents were still here and it always helps to have extra hands on deck in these situations.

Here are some pictures I snapped of what our life looks like with three of our four little ones sick at the same time:

During our long night of so many kids sick, Hubby put the inflatable air bed up on the family room because it cleans up so easily.  The kids have fun relaxing on this the next day as they recovered.

... And several kids fell asleep on the airbed throughout the day -- and they wore PJs all day.

Papa and Addallee were inseparable most of the day because the big kids needed Mama and Grammie very often

Many baths were taken to clean up and warm up and feel better

And everyone ate the same foods -- bananas, water, cheerios, rice, and applesauce.

 Time for the illness to go away!
