Sick kids

Spring break is meant for fun times....right? Wrong! When you are 5 years old it might mean that you spend half of the week sick with the flu. Hayden came down with a fever on early Monday morning and was sick until Thursday. Matilyn got sick on Wednesday and was sick until Monday. And now Hayden has been sick since then....baaaadddd spring break!

But don't you worry! While Hayden was well, he went to Throckmorton with his Daddy and went fishing. They also went looking around for prey with a fresh new B B gun (yes you heard me right, and, no, I didn't OK this decision!!!!!!!). They had the greatest time! Hayden caught lots of fish (to the point that he told his daddy that he would wait until he caught his first fish to catch another one himself!). Then, Matt saw a rattlesnake and shot it with a shotgun. Hayden was allowed to shoot the same snake with his gun and saw it as a great discovery. From Matt's account, the trip was a success and they had great "guy" fun. They ate ice cream for meals and laughed a lot.

Now, Hayden is on the mend from his latest sickness and can't wait to get back to school. He has hated that he has had to stay home and just lay on the couch. I just hope that the illnesses are all over and that we can thoroughly enjoy the rest of our spring and summer.

A few funnies: I was at Wal-Mart recently with Hayden and he was sitting in the cart. I was pushing the cart through the way and he heard a sound. He said that I "tooted". I swore that I did not. He fought with me saying loudly for all of the customers to hear that I had. I finally had to admit that I had (I hadn't) so that he would stop loudly accusing. Thanks, kid!
