exhausted and nervous we contemplated our days activities. we promised warren chuck e. cheese, but were not sure how any of us would feel. by 1030 we chose to go for it and had an amazing and puke-free day in st. louis. warren played every game he could find and ellie was scared to death of chuck :) warren opened some gifts this morning and will open the rest later this evening when our friends bring his ice cream cake. i believe he has had a wonderful day and is actually thankful for all he has.

the above was written wed. evening. i never had the opportunity to post it due to the numerous games i had to play with warren :) our friends came over; we sang, ate cake and played with his gifts. you have to check out the game 'what's in ned's head' :)
thurs. morning i awoke with the flu. not at all what i expected since wed. i felt fine.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 5 YEARS i was able to be sick all by myself! i couldn't believe it! usually when i'm sick there are meals to prepare, diapers to change and mouths to feed. as miserable as i felt i was elated to crash on the couch in peace and quiet.
then the snow started falling. and it didn't stop. by 2pm ryan was too nervous about the roads and went to pick up the kids. at least i was feeling much better by then. but what a long afternoon and evening.
ellie ended up getting sick again in the middle of the night, but it was only once and she was much better this morning. thankfully fevers were not included in this round of sicknesses. hopefully the weekend will allow us to all stay healthy and warm!

Happy 5th Birthday! I remember the first time to Chuckee's the kids were scared also - now they just run up and hug the big mouse. I also enjoy those trips home!!! Hope you do have a peaceful and healthier weekend - Dana
