Last post for 2010

I am feeling the pressure to get one last post in for the year 2010...especially since I have neglected blogging for over a month, bad, bad, bad.  In my defense it's been crazy busy so when I've had time to blog I found myself either falling asleep on the couch or some other productive activity.  Let's see where I last left off - looks like it was the end of November, Shawn's b-day.  Since then we have had some fun times...and not so fun times.  We made it through the preschool Christmas programs which were adorable.  Gabriella stole the show when she bowed for a good 20 seconds and NO ONE else did.  Then she bowed so long that she fell over.  (and aren't girls suppose to curtsy?)  So hilarious.  And Ashlyn sang her little heart out including doing all actions which is funny since she didn't want anything to do with it last year.  She also said her lines perfectly.  She even did another girls' lines that was sick that night!  Might have an actress here... That was on the 16th.  Then we had the "plague" hit on the 17th.  My sister and I went out for some shopping that Friday night which was fun.  But, about an hour after we got home that night I started to not feel so good.  And then it hit....stomach flu.  I have never experienced the stomach flu before and I would not wish it on my worst enemy - wowsers it was awful!   I didn't get out of bed until Sunday night.  I finally made it downstairs to see the house totally destroyed...don't worry though, Shawn claims he was in control the whole time.  About an hour after getting up Ashlyn decided to start throwing up...then an hour later - Austin is throwing up...about 10 minutes later Shawn is throwing up  and a few hours after that Gabriella is throwing up.  This is NO joke.  It was a terrible few days we had.  I have never been so exhausted and done so much laundry and cleaned up so many peoples' messes in my life!  We ended up having to postpone the Turner Christmas for a week, Austin missed 2 days of school, we had to cancel all the boys going to the KSU game at the sprint center and had to cancel seeing Santa at church, it was just not fun.  The good news was that we were all a go for when Santa finally arrived.  Christmas was wonderful, the kids loved their new stuff and it was just nice to spend time together.  Shawn has had the whole week off which is always so awesome.  I love having him get some time off.  I am sad that it is coming to an end.  Although I do like schedules and routine so it will be nice to get back to school next week, but for now I LOVE sleeping in every day.  Even the kids have been sleeping in every day!  It's now time to get my party on..out with 2010 and in with 2011!!  Bring it on!!
Happy New Year!!
