Worn Out

Last weekend, while I suffered near death, with a head cold like no other, my kids were enjoying life with their Grandparents. Ok, so maybe I'm exaggerating with the whole "near death" thing, but truly, it was a rough weekend for me. I had been feeling sick for a few weeks, but mostly just blamed it on spring; pollen, grass, you know...allergies. But about a week ago, it hit me, head congestion. I started to feel like it was more, but if you know me you know I'll suffer through it until I just can't take it anymore. Friday night was it, my head felt like it weighed more then my body. I finally caved and ended up in the insta-care. Yes, I was officially sick, walking out with my three prescriptions, I headed straight to my bed to spend the next two days waiting for relief.
Of course I couldn't possibly take care of my two little ones being that sick, so lucky for me I live about a mile away from my amazing Mom and her awesome husband. They picked up the kids and had them all weekend. They took them to the movies Friday night. Saturday, Grandpa Jess took Ethan riding and then both the kids went to Aunt Diann's house to play with Derian and Christian, then they were back at Grandpa & Nana's watching movies. Sunday Grandpa took Ethan golfing while my Mom took Sophia to breakfast and then took them both swimming at her friends house. They had a blast and came home completely wired and worn out.
Apparently last night they were still exhausted. They were watching a movie in Ethan's room, when I went in to tell them it was time to get ready for bed this is what I found:
It was only 7:30 and they were out!

It wasn't an easy task waking them up, getting them into their own beds, but we managed. And the best part...they slept all night!

Thank you Mom! Thank you Jess! You've been GREAT! I appreciate you both more then you know!
