This weekend, the Stevenson household is sick. Not terribly sick, but stuffed up and coughing sick. Fortunately, we don't have fevers and we have a long weekend to recover. The stinky part, we have a long weekend- a holiday weekend is never a fun sacrifice to the sick gods.

We went up to my mother in-law's house on Saturday. We kind of forced ourselves because we're all sick. If Jeff's brother hadn't been in town, we probably would have cancelled. The visit was good, we're warming up to Marge's new fiancee. When I say "new", I mean it. They've only been together since the middle of July. Yes, yes, a bit quick. The wedding's in October- right after my brother's. Should be an interesting month!

On our way home, Gavin got sick. I think he'd been swallowing so much mucus that it made his stomach upset. Plus, he really hadn't eaten that much all day, so not so great a combo. However, once he got it out, he seemed to feel much better!

Right now we're sitting on the couch watching Barney. I always said I wasn't going to ever watch Barney...and, until today, I hadn't. HOWEVER, when Barney came on, my kid yells, "Barney!" and is entralled for the next 30 minutes. Um...so much for that! I guess they show it at school or something.
