Not the best timing

So last Friday our computer starting acting up again. Drew took it in to the IT guys at UK and after working on it for some time they came back saying, "It seems like your hard drive has taken some hits, literally." They asked Drew if he remembers the computer being dropped or hit. Drew replied, "Our 17 month old son pushes it off the table daily, would that be it?" They laughed and said that they needed more time and that it definately needed a new hard drive. After a week they came back with the verdict...."Your going to need to buy a new computer, this one is gone." We kind of figured, so we went out yesterday and bought a desk top computer. We're hoping this one outlast Mac's beatings.

On to Easter...
Saturday Drew and Mac woke up not feeling too great but that wasn't going to stop us from going to an Easter Egg hunt with some friends in our ward. Everyone brought food for the brunch and the kids went out and found Easter Eggs. It was chilly outside but we had a lot of fun.Mac loves his Elmo Easter basket Mac dancing to the dog's barks Drew followed Mac around while Mac picked up the Easter Eggs and threw them. Maybe next year he'll understand that he's suppose to put the eggs in the basket. Isn't their back yard beautiful?!

As the day went on, both Mac and Drew got more sick so we went home put them both to bed and I made sugar cookies for our primary. Sunday morning both boys woke up with fevers and feeling even worse. I got ready for church, made them breakfast, put on Shrek (Mac's new obsession) and left them to lay around - no Easter fun. I later found out that Drew just gave Mac his Easter gifts while I was at church (Wait a minute...this is Drew, and the way it went down was like this: I was laying on the floor watching Shrek and Mac was trying to find something to hit me with. He found a set of plastic golf clubs and came out and started beating me with them. So I opened the golf clubs and taught him how to properly use them). Oh well, Mac doesn't understand the holiday.
I enjoyed a quiet day at church but I missed having my boys around on Easter. When I got home I started making potatoes for dinner and Drew and Mac both woke up feeling a little better so we decided to go to our Friends for Easter dinner. Well, Mac screamed for half an hour then fell asleep on my lap. We lasted a whole 45min there. We came home, put Shrek on again, and put Mac to bed. Later that night Mac woke up and threw up all over me. Then went back to sleep and woke up the next day feeling better but Drew was still sick. Finally on Wed. Drew decided to go to the doctor and found out that he had an ear infection and signs of strep (but they didn't test him for it). After being on antibiotics everybody is feeling great and I got a break from Shrek! Happy Easter!
