Finally a birthday party

Isaac's family birthday party was scheduled for Sunday October 21st.  Caleb woke up around 5:00 am with the stomach flu.  Ross tried to convince me he was just coughing up some mucous but as a Mom I knew better.  I stayed home from church with Caleb and threw up about 2 more times.  Since Isaac was so disappointed that his birthday party couldn't happen, Grandma and Grandpa K took him out to eat and he got to pick where.  That made the day special for him.  Caleb was still not able to keep anything in his stomach so Ross took Isaac to Sioux Falls shopping for a few hours.  Monday Ross stayed home with Caleb because at 4:00 am he had still been throwing up.  He was finally able to keep some crackers, water and Sprite down Monday so that looked promising.  Then Monday night he threw up yet again.  In actuality, it took Caleb 4 1/2 days to get over this nasty stomach bug.  Caleb threw up the last time Wednesday evening just as Isaac started in.  Isaac lasted almost 3 days and again we had to postpone the birthday party.  I don't know how, but Ross and I managed to escape this nasty bug.  We're just praying the boys stay healthy now the rest of the winter, especially with the baby coming in a few months.  I started the boys on a probiotic and myself so we're trying everything to stay healthy.

So November 4th the party finally took place.  Isaac was quite excited.  My mom made him a sheet cake and we put some Transformers on it.  Grandma K asked Isaac what kind of cake he wanted (we always have 2 cakes) and no he did not want a chocolate cake or an angelfood cake, he wanted a Banana cake.  So banana cake is what the birthday boy got.  We ordered pizza, had gift time and had a good day.  It's too bad the original date didn't work though because that was such a nice day and the kids could have played outside but instead it was rainy and cold and everyone stuck inside.  Isaac got a new sit of plyers since he lost his other ones, he got a lot of money, a basketball game, a truck that carries his hotwheel cars, walkie talkies (or as Isaac calls it, talkie talkie's).  He also got cousin Caden's firetruck which is a big hit!  New toys are always fun but so hard to share with siblings :-)
