He did a great days work today!!  

BLAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

We have had the stomach bug since 12/17/17
It hit us ALL 4. 
I'm still feeling icky but trying to get better!
I have kept the boys home due to the fact that I feel like they go back to school and catch ANOTHER strain of SOMETHING!  
SO, we have just been quiet. 
 Here are the ornaments that the boys made when they went to meet Santa.  THE DAY before we got sick!!!  Aren't they cute!???? 

 And I'm not sure what day this was, but Pierce looked so sick but wanted to play so much!!! They were trying to play Nerf gun war!!!
