March Madness

What a fun but germy month this has been!


Drake's buddy Abby from church has spent some time with us, since her mom is very pregnant. She is a joy to have around the house, and I love to hear her and Drake play together.

Lincoln had a field trip to the science center in downtown Charlotte. The boys were so wide-eyed walking down the street, looking at all the tall buildings. The museum had tons of cool exhibits like lying on a bed of nails, tug of war,air lift chair, water tables, and even reptiles. The boys really wanted me to pet the python Sydney, so I was brave and did it for them!







Dave left for the airport and 5 minutes later, Dorothy puked everywhere. About an hour later, Lincoln lost it. By that time, I was feeling nauseous. Thank goodness, mom swooped in after work to help out. Drake was so excited he was the only one healthy! 


The next morning, Dave called to get a prescription for strep throat. Everyone else was recovering well, so we went to Walmart for a few things. On the way home, Drake exploded in the car. I had to coop puke from the seat belt holes. Ugh, it makes me want to puke thinking about it! After about 20 minutes of scrubbing and cleaning, Lincoln comes outside and asks, "are you not done yet?" Wrong question!!

The next week, we visited the gardens for a visit to see Peter Rabbit. Turns out Drake and Dorothy aren't fans of Peter Rabbit, but we did enjoy playing some lawn games and the cute crafts.





Later that week, the Young family came for a week-long visit! Unfortunately, I had the flu, so I spent one day up in Hickory in order for the medicine to kick in and for me to not be contagious. A few of the Youngs came with some stomach issues. Between the flu and the stomach virus, we didn't venture far from the house. The kids totally didn't mind: they were busy playing outside (so thankful for beautiful weather) and catching up on video games. It's so great that when they come, everyone has a good buddy to play with.
