Easter Weekend and the Stomach Flu

The Thursday before Easter, Karis woke up in the early morning with the stomach flu. For the next five days, she experienced vomitting, fever and diarrhea. I had never seen her so sick! The first couple days she barely got off the couch. The two little ones spent most of those days playing outside so thankfully no one else caught what she had. 

Sadly, Karis missed her school egg hunt and an Easter egg hunt we've been taking the kids to at a local church. On Sunday morning, when I told her we weren't going to church, she was heartbroken that she would miss another egg hunt. I set up her own egg hunt upstairs to help make her feel better. 

On Saturday, she started getting up and around so we dyed some Easter eggs. Kyle just plopped his eggs in, pulled them out and then played with the colored water.Not surprisingly, Karis spent the most time with her eggs getting them the right shade and such. It was good to see her finally feeling better but it wasn't until Tuesday when she would return to school.
