Finn, do you need a tissue?

Finn needs to blow his nose, of course.

It has been quite a week for us and not one that I care to repeat anytime soon.  It all began on Sunday night/early Monday morning of last week when Aiden woke up in the middle of the night quite sick.  From there, Luke was sick early in the week, then we had a short break before Finn and Liam got sick at the end of the week followed by myself over the weekend.  Thankfully, my case was very mild and only lasted 24 hours.  After washing carpets, sheets, bedspreads, countertops, bathrooms, tables, couches, etc...I am hopeful we are turning the corner.  John is still holding strong at this point and let's hope he continues to do so.

Minnesota definitely knows how to promote the sport of hockey.  I think they are trying to keep the boys "hooked" on it.  In between our sickness this week, we were able to do one fun thing.  Luke and Liam's hockey team was asked to skate at the intermission of the local high school hockey game. This was a big game since it was senior night and the high school team was playing one their biggest rivals.  Needless to say, I have never seen so many people at the community center where they played.  The stands were packed and the boys were so excited to skate in front of so many people.  We were even able to secure a babysitter for Aiden and Finn since the game was after bedtime so it was a fun outing with Luke and Liam!
