And around....

Now Mackenzie's sick. :/ She's got the same symptoms the other kids had; fever, chills, headache, stomachache. She's not vomiting but she feels like she's going to. Ugh!

Yesterday, we went to my sister's house for a cookout. My other sister came, my grandparents, mom, uncle, and my sister's fiance's mom and stepdad were all there. We started it in late afternoon (around 4), since my sister worked yesterday. We visited for a bit while the burgers and hot dogs were cooked, and then ate. In addition to the hamburgers and hot dogs, we had chips, baked beans, two kinds of potato salad, coleslaw, and for dessert there was banana pudding, brownies, and cookies.

Most of the kids were swimming for a while, too. After we ate, we went to a field down the driveway and played a game of baseball, and then some volleyball. We kept playing until it got too dark to see. We all had a blast, though. I did something to my finger when I hit the volleyball, though. The area between the first two knuckles started swelling and bruising. It is still swollen today, but not nearly as bad as it was, and it's just a little discolored, not horribly so. I don't know what the hell happened.

ALL the kids went down to my other sister's to spend the night. Well, except Shelby & Maggie. But my two older kids, all three of my one sister's kids, and my cousin. She had two of her three kids home, so in all, she had 8 kids at her house. :O No way, I say! Of course, she ended up with 7, since we had to go get Mackenzie at almost 1 o'clock this morning. She came home, I gave her some Nyquil and put the mop bucket beside her bed, and she slept until around 11 this morning. I just gave her a piece of toast and some applesauce, and she's resting on the loveseat and watching tv. I hope this is the end of this damn virus that's been going around all the kids!
