The blizzard is here & Carter swallowed a penny

Yep, you read that right! Today has been crappy weather. Freezing rain and now snow. Really windy and it is not supposed to let up until sometime late Sunday into early Monday. What fun it is to live in Iowa. Adam decided that since the weather was cruddy today and we were stuck inside that he would reorganize all of the kitchen cupboards and 3 of our closets. Maddie was ambitious about helping at first, but then she realized it was work and wanted to play PS2 instead. I did not want to spend my day reorganizing either so I gathered up my school stuff and came up to my bedroom to write a report. Not so sure that Adam was happy that I left him to do it all by himself, but he knew that I wanted to work on school stuff all weekend long. I will say that now that he has it all done it is really nice. He did a super job! I am not sure what he plans to do tomorrow, but I want to write another report for school while he is here all day and can watch the kids.
We got the kids ready for bed and for some reason Carter kept fussing. He normally does not act that way when we put him to bed, but he just kept going on and on tonight for some reason. Adam went upstairs to check on him and he said that he wanted to watch TV so Adam turned the TV on and came back downstairs. The fussing still did not stop. Adam went up again to see what was wrong. Carter was upset because he had dropped a penny that he had snuck into bed with him and he could not reach it to pick it up. Adam told him that the penny would sit on the dresser until the morning and then Carter could put it in the money jar. Adam came back downstairs again. And Carter still kept on whining. I told him to go upstairs and just bring Carter back down so that Kinnick could get to sleep. The next thing I hear is Adam yelling for me to come upstairs. That usually is not good. It generally means vomit. Yep, I was right. Carter told Adam that he had a tummy ache. It was because he ate the second penny he had (which we did not know he had). Then he got himself all worked up about it and threw up all over the floor. So, into the bathtub he went. What a CRAZY night! The kids are all in bed now and it is 10 pm. I am going to watch the news and go to bed too.
Enjoy what is left of the weekend! Love, Steph
