a long week

Tuesday morning, my first day of work, started with a rather interesting twist.  After Owen's morning nurse he threw up....little did we know that this would be the beginning of a week from hell (pardon my french).  Hoping for the best and that it was just an air bubble I kissed the fam goodbye and set out for my first day.  Just orientation things and such but still...a day at work...away from the kids.  It went well until I got the text that Owen had thrown up 3 more times.  As soon as I came home and picked him up he threw up all over me.....  I honestly don't remember how it all went down after that but Isabelle and Owen puked from Tuesday to Saturday (fingers crossed...no more puke!).  Aaron got it Wednesday night and I followed suit on Thursday night.  It was bad...REALLY bad (like lost 7 lbs in 2 days bad).  We suspect it was norovirus but didn't go to the doctors.  So what was supposed to be my first week of work ended up being drastically cut short...I hate to say it but this week...I'm seriously ready to start work...last week was exhausting.  As mentioned before I have a ton of mixed feeling about going back to work (especially full time)... my heart sinks when I think of Owen crying at daycare or Isabelle having a long day and just wanting to snuggle up and read.  These next few weeks will be hard on this mama....but I suppose the norovirus might have toughened me up a bit....

poor owen...
yes he is wearing sissy's old pink pom pom hat and we don't have mittens for the fella so we just tie rubber bands around the end of his snow suit....is it horrible that I can't stop laughing about this?

Isabelle super fashionable even in the snow...skirt on top of her make shift snow pants (big fleece pants...don't judge...it was a long week and snow pants were left at school)

miss adele...in her element...she is sooo canadian....

By Sunday we were out enjoying the snow... I was busy disinfecting the house...and we were all ready for some good old calorie filled cream cheese brownies.  Thank goodness this week is over and I hope this is it for big time bugs this year...
