Supposed to but Instead

We were supposed to go to Utah, but Noah looked like this the day we were to leave. Pretty bad. He'd been running a fever of 102-104.5 for several days and we just couldn't see taking him on a plane and dragging him all over the place. Good thing because the day he stopped having high fevers Isaiah woke up with the bug! Elijah was completely devastated by not being able to go. He was soooo sad about not seeing his old buddy, Christopher. It took him about half an hour to stop losing his mind and get ready for school. (I never would have told him before school if I'd known he would have become so upset) Now Noah has double ear infections and Isaiah is just simply miserable and not sleeping. Fun. 

 But one good thing did come out of this experience. I saw a recipe on Our Best Bites and I modified it a bit and made this salad which is now MY favorite! It was SOOOOO good! Oh and we have our swing-set built, we're working on the front yard, and we made a super cute egg carton wreath that I found on Be Different Act Normal. It feels good to have things around here coming together a bit more, but it sure would have been fun to get away! Oh well. I'll just keep thinking about August (our couples get away-just Phil and I wahoo!) :)
