This year we stayed in the area and went to my grandparents home on Thanksgiving Day. Little did we know that this would be the beginning of a very sick weekend. My sister's 1 year old threw up on the table as we were all eating. Yuck! Anyway from that episode 17 of the 22 of us got the flu by Saturday.
It hit our family with a vengeance in the early morning hours of Saturday with Alex, Collin and Will all taking turns. Josh's parents were staying here and they, along with Glenn and Elizabeth, hit the road Saturday morning for DC in hopes of making it home before they got it. They made it home without trouble and I think they are still healthy.
Matt got it sometime Saturday night because when he came in to our bedroom Sunday morning he was caked with it. Disgusting!!!! Some of you know how well I deal with throw up:) To top this all off Josh had to preach at Westview on Sunday morning and was worried he would get it just in time for this. Thankfully he did not and was able to do the whole service.
Josh and I have not gotten it yet and by now I would say were are not going to get it. Thank goodness! We should not be contagious anymore and the only thing left to do is sanitize our house from this awful bug!

FIRST Lego League
Collin and Alex have been participating in a Lego Class this year where they have to build a lego robot, program it to do certain missions and give a presentation. This is their presentation and trial run from last week.
The theme this year was Climate Connections so the robot had to do a bunch of missions related to climate and the research project had to do with this theme. Their team's project had to do with potholes.

30th Birthday Party
Yesterday was my sister's 30th birthday. I joined a group of friends at the bar around 9pm. It was amusing that we were the only ones there at that point. We joked about how old we all were. I told Rachel that it was wierd to think that 3 of the 4 of us siblings were in our 30's now and that it would be really weird when we all were...because then I would be almost 40. Yikes!!!!
As we sat at the bar and watched the younger people flock in, the servers kept coming back asking if we wanted another drink. Cherith asked if they had root beer and the server looked a little surprised at the request...I can only imagine what was going through her head as she processed the request. She told Cherith that they did not have root beer (I can't think of anything that root beer would mix well with, can you?). I'm not sure I've ever been to a bar where someone has asked for root beer. We all laughed at how ridiculous the whole conversation went.
The longer I sat and watched the people around me, the more thankful I was that I am not a part of the bar scene. I am so glad that I am married to my best friend and don't have to worry about impressing any guys.
As Josh would say...You are so Old!
and I would say...Old is Good:)

Math or Boys?
I had the privilege to hang out with a sixth grade girl tonight. We went across the street to the coffee shop where we had tea and hot chocolate. She' s always been really quiet when I've talked with her in the past but tonight with just the two of us, she talked and talked...about high heel shoes, flowers, marshmallows, Halloween costumes, pacifiers, gym class, brothers, math and of course, boys. All the great kinds of things that I never get to talk about with my own boys.
As we got on the topic of boys, I asked her if she liked math or boys better. With no hesitation, she said math because boys stink, throw their clothes all over the floor and leave the toilet seat up.
Spoken like a true woman.

Hunters
At our family day, Collin and Alex went with the big guys out in the woods. Of course, they never saw any deer but as Alex says "I saw lot's of things, but Grandpa was sleeping." Oh Deer!!
A good roll in the leaves helps with not stinking. Imagine that...I don't know if Collin smelled better or worse with the no scent and deer pee spray.
Deer Hunter or Taliban?
