Make Your Own Fun!

Saturday evening after a birthday party John Michael threw up ALL over the place at a pizza buffet.  It was so awful and I felt so bad because the people at the restaurant were SO nice and helped us with cleaning and mopping up.  I'm sure people ran out of there, avoiding us like the plague!  Luckily, his run with the stomach bug didn't last all that long...just Saturday night and then he was good.  We were so thankful it wasn't as bad as some of our friend's illnesses.  This stomach bug is evil!

Since we were stuck in the house for about 2 days and I was determined not to put on anymore Mickey Mouse, I thought of something kind of fun and different.  I brought out the inflatable mattress and blew it up for the boys!

 

They did pretty well not falling off of it and luckily no one hit their heads on our coffee or end table!

They had the best time rolling around on it, jumping, and kicking each other!

You can tell they were both trying to figure out how to make it blow up!

 

As you can see, everyone had a great time.  I kept the mattress up for two days of fun, until I couldn't take it anymore and put it away!  It's pretty big!  I'll definitely be brining it out again when we have snow or ice this winter!

Christmas Verse O' The Day:

Luke 2:(7) And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. (8) And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. (9) And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. (10) And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy that will be for all the people. (11) For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
