Twelve Days of Misery!

Twelve Days...that's the length of time it takes for a stomach virus to wreak havoc on the Birks-Kilman household. Cassidy started it last Monday. She was sent home from school throwing up, but was fine about 4 hours later. Katie's hit in the wee hours of Thursday morning, and it hit me like a truck at about 9:30 am on Thursday. Erin and Katie had it on Saturday, Lily on Monday and Ryan thought he escaped...but alas, it was lurking, waiting for him. He's in bed at the moment. What a fun 2 weeks, let me tell ya! I'd prefer not to do it again.

It was a pretty short lived virus, so aside from the day or so that it affected each of us, we were pretty active despite it. Cassidy learned all about the color purple this week, eating purple grapes for snack and wearing a purple t-shirt on Thursday. Erin and Katie have joined the choir at school on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Katie also joined the "Fit Club" on Wednesday mornings. She has fun doing exercise without knowing that she's actually exercising!!! Sneaky, huh? Ali won the part in her church's Christmas play, she was excited about that! She starts rehersals this Tuesday. Lily can roll across the room in no time flat and we've had fun this week playing games with each other. Ryan and I started getting up early in the morning this week to go for a 30 minute walk around the neighborhood before the girls wake up. It was hot and muggy on Monday, but a cold front went through yesterday afternoon and this morning reminded us of why it is that we love Florida! It was 65 degrees and dry and beautiful!!! This is truly the best time to be in Florida...we love October!!!!
