plans change

life goes humming along as scheduled then a curve ball hits...nathan has the flu...and you juggle everything around a little to make room for a sick child...i knew something was up when he came home from school on friday afternoon and said no thank you to a bowl of ice cream sandwich ice cream(yes, that is a real flavor!) and by 10pm i knew what was up...when nathan gets sick, he never complains but he is dead to the world...he never left his bed all day saturday...its sunday morning and he just held down some ice chips and actually walked downstairs to check on things...he missed his football game (they won!), he missed his team photo session, he missed going with the gang to dell diamond on saturday night for a baseball game on the grass, he missed church and he missed recharging his batteries for another week...nothing like being ill to make one appreciate being healthy...now we just pray that everyone else doesn't get it...a side note to this story, when colin found out that nathan was sick, he said "i have to get him a get well present."
"a get well present?"
"yes mommy because last time i was sick nathan went to target and bought me a present"
(i vaguely remember this occurring...)
so off to the dollar store we went and colin searched long and hard to find the perfect gift...a basketball game you can play on the table...nice job colin!
and justin bought nathan a tattoo at church this morning...just because...
thats all from here...peace and health today.
