the adventures of Fisher and his Family: LONG post-another Fisher First, Big Snow, and FF

Fisher had another first on Wednesday of last week-one that I hope we don't see very much. He threw up (or as Luke calls it-the spits). It all started when I got him up that morning. The "other end" was a yucky surprise-which happened one more time before we even left. Fisher seemed in fine spirits though-he ate all of his oatmeal-so I thought it was just all the fruit and juice he had had lately. When we got to my Mom's, I asked her if she had noticed a fever the day before. No sooner were those words out of my mouth, that the poor little guy threw up all over the place! Then he started crying. I asked him if that scared him-yeah-does your tummy hurt-yeah. Then I started to cry for him too. I went up to school, got a sub, made some plans, and went to pick him up. We went to the grocery store to get some Pedialite and other good stuff. He did just fine...until we pulled into the driveway. I heard a little cough and when I looked back Fisher had thrown up again! I ended up staying home with him Thursday too because he was running a 102 fever all day. After a trip to the doctor, we were reassured that it wasn't and ear infection or strep-just the virus running its course. Whatever it was, it took about 6 days for him to be back to normal. Whew! Glad that's over.be

How 'bout St. Louis weather-Sunday it was in the high 70's and Fisher was playing in the backyard in shorts and a t-shirt. Then 2 days later-SNOW-SNOW-SNOW!! We just got dumped on!! About 10 inches here in St. Ann. I had a snow day on Tuesday-and WEDNESDAY! When I got the call on Tuesday at 5:30 am, there was NOTHING going on. And nothing happened here until around 8:30. So up until that time, I thought the district jumped the gun on calling off school. Well, as anyone in St. Louis knows, the weather people were right. When it finally started coming down, it certainly made an impression.

At this point in the school year, I really don't want anymore snow days. It's time to get the year over with, and snow days just means we go longer. So I was not expecting a phone call THIS morning saying NO SCHOOL again. Roads are clear, so the only thing I can come up with is that they were not able to get the schools' parking lots cleared. Oh well-it was a fun day at home with my boys anyway!

Fisher went out in the snow for a bit-and cried when it was time to come in.

There seems to be issues uploading pics to blogger...these are the only ones I've been able to get up for now.
They are the next JC Penney installment.
