The Aftermath Of The S.S. Bumpy Night

The S.S. Bumpy Night turned out bumpier than expected. Seth had a stomach virus and my bed was hit hard and then their own bed was hit four times in the same night. It wasn't easy managing two little ones and sorting through all the laundry the next day, but we managed. In total it was 10 loads of laundry and half of it got taken to the laundromat by M. with Nate helping. Seth stayed at home with me.

The next weekend Mommy got hit hard so I stayed in bed a lot and everyone helped. Well, mostly. There is nothing like not getting the bathroom door quite shut in time when you are heaving and having two little ones standing next to you saying, "What are you DOING, Mommy?" and "Mommy, why are you spitting in the sink like that?" when you can't manage a breath to answer them.

Somewhere after that we also got some bad news about having to move again which turned out to be a blessing in disguise since we get to move back to our old neighbourhood which we have missed very much. We are at 30 days and counting.

We had a nice Easter and I didn't even mess up the dye kits this year. I didn't take any pictures so I can't prove it, but it happened.

PS. I think the boys are wise to the Easter Bunny now since one of them saw a little something in my closet the month prior and then quite obviously pretended he didn't, so this is probably our last year of pretending to believe in make-believe.

In the meantime, here is a little video of the boys where you would never suspect anyone was sick although Seth was not doing so great at times (in between the not-so-great times he was running around like a hooligan as usual).

The video is funny because it's not often Nate gets one over on Seth, but he did this time. Pay close attention to the laps Seth is running VS. the ones Nate is running. Seth never did figure out why he couldn't catch up to Nate which made me laugh - also "forestains" made a comeback which is always good for a chuckle. They don't do it often anymore and much like the Easter Bunny, it will be all gone soon enough.
