Most of the time it's one, this time it's two

Most of the time when the kids get sick, it's generally just one at a time. However this time, we were not so lucky. This morning, Rick and I awoke to, "Mommy, my tummy really hurts!"; followed by running to the bathroom. The next thing we find is this:

Poor AJ! We knew he must not be feeling well, when he did not argue about having to stay in his room. He barely had any energy at all. He laid in his bed almost all day long. He sure takes after me when he gets sick because getting him to drink was a challenge all day today. He has been running a fever all day! He took a 3 hour nap today and still went to bed at 6:30 tonight. I always feel so bad when they are sick.

Ashleigh, on the other hand, has been coughing up a storm and is so congested. Her voice also sounds really funny, almost like she is getting ready to lose her voice. She is not running a fever, but you can tell she is not her normal self. She even stayed in her pajamas all day today and did not argue about not getting dressed.

I am just hoping the two of them do not pass each other's cold/flu on to the other. Hopefully, they will both start to feel better soon. It's a good thing they are both off school tomorrow.

This is definitely not a good way to start the week!
