Snow and Cold

On Wednesday the 5th, we got about 4" of snow. It started just before dawn and lasted until the late evening. Schools and work went on as normal, but it took David an extra half-hour to get to NASA with all the traffic. But he decided to leave work an hour early to beat the traffic home, and he and Sarah had fun playing in the backyard before it got dark. They threw snowballs and David pulled Sarah around in the sled. Nicholas didn't get to go outside, as he was feeling a little sick.

(note: Only parents should read the next paragraph. Also, don't eat either during or after reading it. You'll thank us later.)

On Friday, Nicholas went home from day care early with a fever. As he'd been at least blowing snot on and off for almost 2 weeks, we decided to take him to the doctor. Sure enough, he has a sinus infection and an ear infection. So far today, he threw up ALL OVER Alison and later he pooped diarrhea so much that it went up the back of his shirt almost up to his neck. He's had a bath and is all clean, but we're still washing his clothes and his chair he was sitting on.
