Flu season

It is here!  First Anna and now Mike.  Took Mike to the doctor yesterday and it is offocial, Type A flu for sure most probabbly H1N1!  He is in bed and out of school for at least a week.  Poor kid feels just awful!  Now we are disifecting everything and washing hand every 5 minutes.  Mike gets to wear a mask when around people so hopefully nobody else in the house will get it.

Weekend update

This was a very busy weekend!  I feel more exhaused now then at the end of the week. 

Friday was Mike Birthday Party.  We went to Round Table Pizza.  Just a few boys, Mike, Breanne, Ron,Liz and Carol were there .  It was fun Mike and the boys ran around on the "big toy" and played video games.  We had cake and Pizza and Mike got the best gifts ever, MONEY!  Ron then took the boys home to watch scary movies. I had pictures but managed to some how erase my memory card! : (

After the party Liz and I went out for drinks at The Ram.  We had some delicous martinis, I first orderes a Blueberry Lemondrop, YUM, and Liz got a blended Martini with Peach Puree and Mango it was also delish!  Not round we switched.  Third round I got a Fruit Tickler Martini and Liz had some kind Fruit tea, like a Long Island only fruity.  Drink were yummy, but best of all it was super nice to spend an evening of girl talk with Liz. 

Up early Saturday for a couple of hours of work.  Supposed to meet a friend but that fell through so I went shopping.  Got home Mike had planned to go to a freinds for Halloween so about 2:30 I ran him down into town to drop him off.  I decided to Tan and then fininsh my grocery shopping.  Was going to head up to Fed way to hang out an some friend but they were no feeling well so resigned to spending the evening in.  NO GO!  Rons mom called around 8 and needed a ride to the ER Anna is very sick with a high fever.  So off too the ER I go.  Arianna end up having SWINE FLU!!!   Poor kid is soo sick, she is coughing so hard and just looks awful.  No school for a week for her.  By the time I get home it is after 1:00am. 

Sunday again up at the crack "O" 7:30 because my Uncle Dick and his wife Linda are visiting from Califonia and will be here at 8:30.   They arrive so nice to see them, my mom is especially excited to have them visiting.  They really want to go to NW Trek so off we go.  It is really a great day to be outside.  Chilly but clear and no rain.  NW Trek is amazing we get to see tons of animal and get some great picture.  My uncle is an avid photographer so he and Linda really got some great shots.  After NW Trek we headed to Tacoma to see the Chihuly Bridge of Glass. 

I have been here a couple of times and it is so beautiful.  Everyone really seemed to enjoy themselves.  We spent a couple hours looking around and taking pictures.  When it was time to go Linda and I went to get the car while Mom and Uncle Dick stayed at Starbucks for coffee as they were sore and pooped both are getting hips replaced in the next two months and it really takes a toll on them.  We head home to get the kids and go out to dinner.  For dinner we head to Samurai Japanease Steak house.  Dinner was yummy and tons of fun.  They cook at you table and do all of the fun tricks etc that you would expect.  We had great food and great conversation.  After dinner we said our goodbyes and they headed back to the B&B.  Mom is going to go with them tommorow on a drive to Mt. Rainer but sadly I have to work.  It was a really nice visit though and I hope they can come back soon.  So home to bed at about 10:00pm which is pretty late for me!  Whew this weeknd was a busy one and I am pooped!
