Down and Out!!

I haven't blogged in a few weeks because 3 out of 4 of us in the Lossius house were down and out!!! It all started when Addison woke up at 2:45am February 4th crying and I knew something was wrong since she wasn't standing screaming in her bed I ran into her room to pick her up and she was ON FIRE!  I took her temp and it was 104.9! Yikes called the doctor and put her in the bath!  She continued to run high fevers all week but thankfully never got to that temperature again!  Then the next day Wednesday Jackson came home from school sick so off we went to the night clinic to have both kids checked again....strep test negative for Jackson, Addison did a 2nd flu test and RSV test both negative! But Addison was wheezing from her upper respiratory infection so onto the nebulizer we went! Thursday Ryan stays home sick and thinks he has the flu! So now Jackson, Addison and Ryan all seem to have different illnesses and I am trying to quarantine them to different parts of the house!! Jackson and Addison both still sick with fevers that day! Then Friday Addison was finally starting to feel better and Jackson spikes a fever again off to the doctor we go to find out Jackson has mononucleosis!!!  Really our 5 year old has the "kissing disease" so of course we asked him who he has been kissing since I needed humor or I was going to cry.....His reply was no one! Umm not sure I entirely believe that one!  And I am not sure how I am going to contain my action Jackson for 6-8 weeks!!!  That seems like it will be next to impossible!!!  We had to cancel Jackson's season of baseball and suspend karate for 6-8 weeks!!!  And Jackson has had to stay home from school for a week!  Although he shouted hooray when I broke that news!!!  Karate and Baseball he was a little more bummed about!!  Not a stellar two weeks but the good news is I think we are are finally returning to normal or what we call normal anyway in the Lossius house!!!!!! I haven't taken too many pictures due to the sicknesses but I managed to grab a few!!

Hanging out in their chairs together!!!!

Addison LOVES the blue car! She rides around the neighborhood like the princess she is waving at everyone!! Too cute!! 

Dancing to her stroller music!!

Jackson carefully riding his bike! Again how do you contain a 5 year old boy who loves to be outside!

Addison walking all around with her babies!

Jackson building tall buildings with magna tiles! The best toy ever!

Playing prince and princess! I should mention this picture of these two all hugged up was prior to everyone getting sick!

Out for a walk!

Welcome to My Gym!!

Addison walked into My Gym last Friday with stars in her eyes! I have never seen her so in awe when walking into a place! She was thrilled to see so many fun things to play with and I of course loved taking her as I did with Jackson!  Now lets hope Addison doesn't get the boot out of there like her big brother!!  Ha!!  She loved every minute from the swings and the ball pit to the trampoline and all the little activities they have them do like walking the plank!! Pretty sure we have another social butterfly on our hands!! She was waving to everyone and never once was she intimidated or hesitant!!!  She even made a few new friends in addition to the ones she already have that go there too!!!  Addison truly had a blast and did not want to leave!!!  She was such a doll I can't wait to take her back for more My Gym fun!!!!  Enjoy!!

Walking in just in awe!!!

So excited!!

Exploring everything!!

She did awesome!!

Action shot!!

In the ball pit she loved it although I am pretty sure this is where she picked up her nasty virus last week!!

SOOOO CUTE!

She LOVED the swings!!

Playing with her friends! And I have to say she was so busy that she actually kept her bow in the entire time :-) SO FUN!!

Daddy's Birthday and much much more!!

The week before last was a busy week filled with Karate and Kumon for Jackson, My Gym for Addison, Jackson's teacher retiring in the middle of the school year, a Tampa General orientation for High Risk Hope for me, Ryan's 35th Birthday and I am sure we fit more in but I can't remember what else at the moment!!!  Needless to say WE DID NOT STOP all week but it was a fun week!!!  It started off with Me heading up a project for Jackson's teachers retirement by doing a pottery plate with all the kids in the class's finger prints which then led to Jackson and I having a blast making some pottery items together!!!  Ryan had a great 35th birthday we had a cookie cake for him and presents and then topped it off with a night out just him and I at Ocean Prime to celebrate!!!  What a fabulous time we had together and the food was delicious!!!!  It was a great action packed week!!!! Enjoy!!!
