What a weekend!!!!!

Things just don't seem to be improving....can anything else go wrong this weekend?????? After all our drama on Friday evening and a very late night we decided it was best to take it easy on Saturday. Our original plan was to to go to Center Island, but we are all very tired and out of sorts. The kids and I had a nice morning playing tennis and going swimming. Jason came back to the hotel for lunch and we headed over to Yorkdale for a bite to eat. After lunch, it was nap time. The kids had a long nap, from 12:30 to 5:00. When they woke up they were out of sorts and feeling warm. They both asked if we could go to the 'jungle' (Rain Forest Cafe) for dinner. On the way there we decided to stop in at Shoppers for a thermometer....they both had fevers of 100....UGH!!!!! We got them some Tylenol and they still wanted to go have dinner. We stopped at the Disney store and Cinderella had daddy buying her glass slippers and figurines. I guess if you can't beat them, join them???

We made our way to the jungle, ordered our food and it all went down hill....Simon was sleeping on me and Riley was saying she was not hungry or thirsty....we have never heard those words from her, she's an eater. We took all of our food to go, I headed back to the hotel with the kids and Jason stayed back to pay the bill, get the food etc.. He stopped on the way home to get popsicles and anything else he thought the kids would eat. We had no luck convincing them to eat or drink anything at all. The kids went to bed while Jason and I continued to take their temperatures and give them Tylenol all night.

It's Sunday morning and things are starting to look up. They both have a very small fever and are drinking a lot and eating a little. Hopefully it only goes up from here.

I must have cursed us with this weekend because last week I said to a friend of mine that the kids haven't had any sort of illness in a year. No colds, no nothing. In fact it was this week last year that they both had colds. Hopefully this is it for another year.

Here are some photos of the kids at the jungle before the downward slide:)
