The weekend from......heaven:)

It's a shame that I haven't written about this sooner but well, life happens, and the months just fly by. Regan had her wisdom teeth pulled just a couple of weeks before the start of the school year. We planned a trip home to Cokeville to visit DJ's parents that same week so the poor girl got surgery on Thursday and just a few hours later we were on our way to Grandma's.  I was totally amazed at how well she did through the whole thing especially since she's always hated Dr. and Dentist visits and of course, the fact that she's already had several teeth pulled in recent years didn't help calm her anxieties.:)  Anyway, it just so happened that our nephew, Bronson, had his wisdom teeth pulled the day before Regan so he came over to compare chipmunk cheeks.  I think Regan won the contest...
Bronson was cracking us up with all of his crazy looks!  
Well, it was all fun and games until we went to bed that evening and the kids started waking up and puking one by one starting at 1:00 a.m.  Kamryn was the first lucky one, then Morgan, then Kaleb, and then Jordyn.    Porter escaped the bug somehow and I was praying so hard that Regan wouldn't get it because can you even imagine her throwing up with her cheeks as swollen as could be and not to mention, the pain involved?  She was stressed too but kept pulling the funniest faces that resembled a puking chipmunk:)!  Thankfully the nasty bug passed over her and it was pretty short lived with the other kids.  They all spent the next day moping around grandma's house (spreading germs as they went) Thank goodness, Grandma Teichert is such a sweet host and lent DJ and I a helping hand by comforting the sick and the afflicted. 

The sick bunch..  
Morgan parked herself on the couch with her favorite blanket of Grandma's! Actually, it belonged to Patty and it's every granddaughter's favorite! 
Kamryn moped around and finally found a comfy spot right in the middle of the hallway.
Kaleb was pretty sure he was dying and spent most of his time parked by the porcelain throne! 
Jordyn fell asleep on Grandma's most beautiful living room couch.  Only Grandma wouldn't mind sharing her nicest couch with a sick child!  I'm proud to say that with all of the throw up that happened that weekend, not a single drop of barf ended up anywhere except the toilet...yes, everyone deserves a pat on their backs! My kids make me proud..:):)
Poor Regan, she was supposed to be the one that got all of the attention, but instead, she ended up fending for herself.  It's a blessing that she had minimal pain and was back to eating and drinking surprisingly fast!

Definitely a weekend to remember! As a Grandma, I can honestly say just having you all there would be worth it and handling the puke would be no problem at all!

Sounds like such a 'fun' weekend. Thought truthfully, it probably was fun, seeing family and bonding over the toilet! :) Glad they're all feeling better now!
