Unbelievable. Collin again last night. And then this morning I spent alot of time in the bathroom with the big D. Sorry if that TMI, but I'm just reporting how we are still sick. I can't believe this. He didn't have a fever at all and was fine the rest of the day. He was still tired though and took a nap. If all goes well tonight and no fever tomorrow, then I will say we are through it. But my goodness, this is just hanging on and on.
I had to miss my bootcamp class at the Y today too. That is very disappointing. But I didn't want to spread any germs. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.
The boys really wanted to go somewhere today, but as I said, I didn't want to spread this at all. So we stayed home all day. They got restless, so I came up with some games to play with them. All I did was put a line of masking tape across the floor and we did so many silly things with that. Carter loved walking the line in all sorts of silly ways. I had them do relay races. I taught Collin how to play Hot/Cold with hiding a ball. And then later in the afternoon we made cookies. Collin has been asking to for a few days now.
We probably shouldn't have made cookies with our stomachs the way they are. But I thought it would be fun. Carter didn't understand that the cookies had to be baked and kept trying to grab the raw dough off the sheet and yelling "Cookies!!!" So cute.
I tried a new recipe for sugar cookies and they turned out great. I used an America's Test Kitchen recipe and just subbed a gluten free flour mix that was highly recommended. Finally a cookie that didn't fall apart or crumble. And tasted just like a regular sugar cookie. You probably couldn't tell the difference.
But I paid for it later with my stomach as I had cramps and, uh, gas. I can't wait until we are over this stupid bug.
Anyway, at least we had a fun day and I felt like a "real" stay-at-home mom (the kind I always envisioned) instead of the run-around-all-day, run-errands, and frantically-clean-the-house kind of stay at home mom that I usually am.
