Bad Luck!

This has to be one the craziest weeks I have had in a LONG time!


First we got snowed in....that was Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday!

10 inches!

I had noticed over the weekend that our heat wasn't working all that well so I e-mailed our maintenance department and Wednesday while we were still snowed in they came over to check it out. As our bad luck would have it, Savannah woke up that morning throwing up and refusing liquids of any kind.

See my sick girl back there??? She was feeling really rough! Her brother felt just fine thank you! 

She threw up 7 times in 7 hours and would not eat or drink, I was thinking about calling the Dr when the maintenance man informed me that my furnace was malfunctioning and unsafe to operate anymore......you know, probably leaking carbon monoxide and all!!

I even impressed myself at how fast I could pack us up! 

I just knew those cute bags would come in handy :)

Thankfully our maintenance guys drove a big van into and out of our driveway making an escape path for us. On our way to our overnight apartment I called the urgent care line for our pediatrician and he called in some anti-nausea meds for Savannah. She promised that she would drink some Gatorade for me so we could avoid the ER. Sometimes, that girl can be downright cooperative! :)

The apartment they set us up in had a huge garden tub and Owen was super excited for a big bubble bath

We managed to get settled and get Savannah feeling slightly better! Unfortunately for me, I caught her nasty stomach bug and spent the entire next 24 hrs feeling like death!!! Hence, no pics!

Thursday they were able to replace the furnace and we came home around 5:30 pm....only to find that our water was never turned back on! A few hours later and a few calls to maintenance and we had water....ahhh,,,,,time for sleep!

Friday morning I was feeling a lot better and a friend asked us to meet them at Chuck E Cheese for a little fun! Yes please!!! :)

Not sure what this face is trying to say! What a goof! But he was super happy to play with Riley :) 

Later that afternoon Kate was scheduled to leave to go on a middle school youth trip with our church to Cincinnati so after I dropped her off, we went to the store for some more provisions, and then grabbed an early dinner at Cracker Barrel.

This kid loves pancakes! And apparently the syrup as well!!

These two were happy to have a little quality time.....out of the house!

Saturday morning I woke up to a phone call from Kate in Cincy saying that they had gotten snow overnight, their conference had been canceled, and that they were snowed in at the hotel! Phewww....what a week! I am really hoping our bad luck streak is over soon!
