Cooties!

Well it appears that the bug that Tyler caught a couple days ago was waiting silently to strike Gavin. And strike it did! We were up half the night and he was puking from last night until this morning. Doesn't he look pathetic? Poor little guy... He seems to be more and more back to his old self as the day progresses today but it's been a rough weekend!

Friday started with a trip to the Dentist, so we played hooky from school that day. Shawn had 6 cavities!! He had to have a deep cleaning and will have to go back later to get those cavities filled. I'm thinking there might be something wrong here because neither of us have ever had cavities until we moved to this house. I called our water company and was told there was some natural fluoride in the water, but not as much as the dentist recommended. So we have added a fluoride rinse to our 1/2 hour tooth brushing process. Hopefully that will prevent either of us from getting any more! The boys have some slight discoloration but so far that has not turned into a cavity, so they had a good checkup overall.

After the dentist, we headed to my favorite healthy food store - where you can shop in bliss without having to read a single label to see what kind of nasty stuff is in the food. We've been doing some research lately on MSG, TBHQ, Splenda, aspartame and of course hydrogenated oils. It is so scary what companies feel free to put in our food, knowing what it does to us! We are trying to eliminate all of these ingredients from our food, but it's hard and expensive! It's important to us, though, that our family is healthy, so it's worth it.

Saturday we cleaned the house and worked out, which wasn't too exciting. ;) We were supposed to have an Easter Egg hunt in our neighborhood, but it was freezing, so we skipped it. Instead, Shawn took the boys to see a movie while I went to Once Upon a Child to try to sell some of Gavin's clothes that are too little for him. Unfortunately they didn't want many so it was a waste of time, so they are all on eBay now. Hopefully we'll make a little money so we can update Tyler's wardrobe.

Saturday night, Ria's girls came over to play for a bit while she and her hubby went on a date to celebrate her birthday. That's when Gavin started getting sick. Ria's youngest, Ella (who is 10 days younger than Gavin) was really sweet and trying to take care of him, while Kylee and Tyler entertained each other. They love playing Hullabaloo when they are together, and that is always entertaining to watch.

Today we've been trying to help Gavin feel better and dealing with getting stuff listed on eBay. We're supposed to head to Shawn's parents' house for dinner in a bit to celebrate Easter, so hopefully the boys won't spread their cooties!

Hope you have had a fantastic weekend...
