Yesterday was so fun!
Rob and I started our day at a Pioneer Trek training. We spent the morning cooking turkey, stew, and bread over a fire. We are so looking forward to our weekend with the youth!
I took off early to meet a bunch of "strangers" for lunch! A group of ScrapMatters girls who were in the Northern VA area met up for lunch. I loved meeting these ladies who I'd only known from looking at their avatars and chatting with at speed scraps online and working with at ScrapMatters (an on-line digital scrapbooking site). Having met these gals "live" makes this on-line community even better now! I can't wait to get together again soon!
I didn't get home from lunch until almost 3pm and we were leaving again at 5 pm for dinner and a movie. I spent some time with the kids and took Tyler out for ice cream to celebrate his SOL (Standard of Learning) scores. The schools spend all year teaching what is needed to pass the tests and then the last semester is spent preparing for the tests (waste of time in my opinion). Tyler had for tests (History, Science, Math and Reading) and scored a perfect 600 in three of them and a "pass-advanced" in all of them!! We couldn't be prouder of all of his hard work!
At 5 pm we took off to dinner at Carrabas with The Beatty's and Rachelle and Dave (one of the ScrapMatter's gals and her husband). 
I started to not feel so good during dinner, but didn't want to miss the movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, so I decided I felt fine, but even before the movie started, I knew I wasn't fine. I spent the entire movie hovered over a toilet. Joy!
My night was miserable and so was Jared's. He woke up in the middle of the night sick and we commiserated together the rest of the night and morning. We must have passed something to each other after a week of giving medicine and cleaning his mouth, teeth and stitches.
Rob took all of the kids to church and Jared and I chilled at home, sleeping, moaning in pain and hanging out in the bathroom. TMI?
This is the only thing that has made me smile yet today...
When my daughter is supposed to be sleeping, she is busy playing dress-up with her dirty laundry. Silly, silly fashion diva!

I THOUGHT I hadn't seen you at church today! (Although I did mark you as "here" on the R.S. roll-- oops!)
Hope you're feeling better by now! I sure think it's hard being a mommy with an upset stomach!
Let me know if you want help with the kids this week (at least the younger ones would probably have fun at my house...)!
Love the outfit!
She is so darn cute! Not fond of the plaid & the stripes, but at least she matched the colors! Sorry you & Jared aren't feeling well. I hope it is only a 24 hour thing. You and movies just don't get along do you? If you weren't spending time in the bathroom, you probably would have been sleeping :) Did Rob like the movie? We went on Sat too.
Sorry that your night was cut short and you and Jared were super sick. At least you guys bonded-it's more fun to be sick with someone else-you can moan together, snuggle together....Feel better! As for your daughter-she is just too cute for words. She looks really grown up!
Sorry to hear about your stomach bug - hope that's passed through the household and gone!
It's fun to see photos of some of the SM gals together - especially with their husbands! I bet the DHs can relate well to one another. :D
