Just Keepin' It Real

Well...I had intended to post some beautiful, fun photos of our family playing in the nearly 8" of snow we got....but it was not meant to be...

Blake has come down with a horrible stomach bug. He kept telling us all through church this morning that he didn't feel good (this is where mommy guilt enters) and I thought he was just being whiny because he had spent the night with a friend and didn't get enough sleep. I blew him off all throughout church. He has been known to exaggerate an illness to get out of doing something. Well, our worship pastor invited us over to play in the snow...ride 4-wheelers, build snowmen, etc....but Blake didn't bite. I thought for sure that would bring him out of his funk. We stopped at Mickey D's for a quick lunch...and again, Blake didn't bite...he didn't order anything (this is where it gets fun)...while waiting in the drive-thru lane he just upchucked all over the van. (I know that's a little graphic for some, but I'm a mom and just keepin' it real) I was like "wow, he might really be sick." Again, I thought he might perk up a little. No dice. He's been in bed ever since with his bucket companion nearby and has used it more times than I care to talk about....or you care to read.

Please pray for my little man...he's not a very good patient....(he gets that from his dad) {{grin}}

All that to say we didn't get to play in the snow and it was a pretty snow...perfect for building snowmen and throwing snow balls. (this is really a record for us in NE Arkansas...we've had 2 snows and one ice storm this season) I will try to post pictures later of our snow and the pictures I took of us before church and the whole stomach bug thing...

Ok...mommy duty is calling...
