Brayden was awarded his Arrow of Light at pack meeting Tuesday night. In case that wouldn't have been memorable enough, Connor made it more memorable by throwing up a few times during the meeting, the last of which was exactly during the Arrow of Light ceremony. Connor seems to have a knack for these unexpected moments. I've got more than one "suddenly sick" story about him, the absolute worst of which involved me being completely and utterly coated by him while we were meeting Maddie's 1st grade teacher a few years ago. It wasn't a pretty first impression. It wasn't a pretty anything.
So the bug started with Fisher during the night Sunday, hit Connor Tuesday night, Logan Wednesday morning, me Wednesday night, and Brayden Friday morning. Miraculously, Maddie escaped with a big cold and Rick is fine. The big people are feeling much better now, but the two little guys have RSV, plus Fisher has ear infections. Poor Logan is in the saddest shape. Needless to say, it's been a ROUGH week and I am SO glad this doesn't happen very often. A glimpse:
Brayden, the veteran Webelo. He and Rick are ending 2 1/2 years of scouting together since Brayden's been tagging along since he was a wolf scout. They've had a great time.
My good ol' Dad, helping with the Connor clean up. Some things never change.
And, the pathetic and humorously evolving hospice that has been our family room:
I never did get a picture with all 5 of them at the same time, nor did I care to take one when I was on the couch with them, but YIKES.
I am extremely happy to report that thanks to Lysol, 409, Rick, and untold loads of laundry, things around here no longer resemble a hospital wing. I am just as happy to report that thanks to Rick being home today, I was able to escape for a few hours and get something done. I feel like a new person. Now maybe I can pull off YW New Beginnings on Wed. What a week.

OH my heavens what a familiar site. I think the best picture is of the baby. OH how sad looking he looks. I feel for ya Tracy and know how that feels. Luckily we have only dealt with constant colds since we have moved here.
Yeesh! I got your email about everyone being sick, and Mom told me as well but I don't think anything could have prepared me for this. Maybe that's a little dramatic, but it is very sad.
