sick, sicker, and sickest

i think i would call myself sick. i don't have the fever but i do have the aches and pains that go along with the oinking flu. i would then name kylee sicker. she came down with her headache on saturday morning and by the afternoon she was in bed with a fever. do you all remember what saturday was? IT WAS HALLOWEEN. a holiday that a 6 year old looks forward to with such happiness and excitement that when they are told they won't be trick or treating, they slam the door on you and mope in their room for 2 WHOLE HOURS! she made daddy take out her halloween bag to gather candy for her and he was given a hard time with his "my daughter is sick in bed with the flu so i have her bag for her". do tons of grown men use this excuse?? which leaves us with brenton being the sickest. he came down with the headache sunday afternoon and by that night he had the worst fever. the problem with saying F-E-V-E-R in front of my first born, is that he is a hypochondriac. there was immediate gnashing of teething and tearing of clothing and screaming and crying. you see, in his mind, FEVER=THROWING UP! luckily, we haven't had any of that.

now i am just waiting for the 2 year old to come down with it...
