Remember when I mentioned that Tim and Marco were sick? Well, my men decided to share the wealth. I went to bed Thursday night feeling okay, but I woke up at 2am with a terrible feeling in my stomach, and ended up hugging the toilet. Tim heard me and came to help; we ended up basically taking turns. UGH! I had to call in sick (on the day of the Christmas party, AND during my first week of work!), and tried to get some rest. We woke up with fevers, headaches, and the shivers. Marco, luckily, felt great, but it was so hard to try and play with him while feeling so terrible! I finally started to feel better around 5pm.

Saturday morning, both Tim and I were back to normal. After loads of laundry, disinfecting wipes, and a good hot shower, I felt like the house was a safe place again. After instigating a tickle war with Marco, some rest, and a shopping trip to Target, we ended our day with a movie.

Today, we took Marco to see Santa Claus at Bel Aire Plaza! Marco took a picture with Santa, and they gave us a free 5×7 print. I tried to get Marco to smile, but he was so perplexed by the experience that he just kind of looked around, gaping.

He’s so freakin’ cute!

So, the weekend didn’t go EXACTLY as planned, but we managed to make it work.
