They Have What?!

Time to bust out the Tylenol and Motrin again and add one more to my list of sicknesses for the year! It's steadily growing, no doubt. Over the weekend the kids caught Hand, Foot, & Mouth Disease. Shortly put, a family that plays together, will be sick together! The virus lasts about 7-10 days once fever starts. We are on the second day of fever, mouths are hurting (sores), no rash yet, so another 5-8 days to go? Maybe by the weekend we'll be set. So more movies, more rest for the kids, less sleep for me, and lots of medicine for the Q. Clan! I'll keep the kids home from church most likely, I just hope my bishop doesn't think I'm becoming inactive! =)


On the upside to this though, adults are immune AND it's like chickin pox--once caught, it'll never been seen again! Woohoo! Let's just get it ALL out of the way. Bring on the chickin pox next, I'm ready!


The kids have gotten to a point where they really enjoy sleeping together. This was taken two nights ago when the fever first started. There was a really big thunder/lightning storm and the kids were scared. Kayden was acting as though he wanted to be with Keilana, so I put them together and this is what I came back to about 15 minutes later. At one point they were right next to each other with Kayden laying on Keilana's arm. It was WAY cute!


There ARE advantages to being sick. Watching movies, snacking and sleeping in Mama and Daddy's bed. No worry, no crumbs on the bed, there's a princess sheet underneath them. Jon can't stand "cracker

dust" as he refers to it. He cracks me up.

I can't believe it! You have definitely had your share of sickness already this year and it's only mid-year. Maybe that means you'll all be sickness-free for the remainder of the year! It's only fair.

Wow! Maile's (my oldest sister) son Mitchel just got that over the weekend too and they are in Hawaii. It must be going around. I'm hoping he didn't give it to Noah while we were there. Hope all is well soon!!

They look so sweet sleeping next to each other. Kayden looks like he is doing the backstroke through the blankets!

Man, that totally stinks! I can't believe they're sick again. It is nice to know that they can't get it again though
